	Rubik's Cube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rubik's Cube is a mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by the Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik.
		The Rubik's Cube was invented in 1974 by Ernő Rubik, a Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture with an interest in geometry and the study of 3D forms.
		It has been suggested that the international appeal and export achievement of the Cube became one of the contributing factors in the reform and liberalization of the Hungarian economy between 1981 and 1985, which finally led to the move from communism to capitalism.

	Rubik's Cube
		The cube appears to be a 3 x 3 x 3 "stack" of smaller cubes (which we will call cubelets) with an ingenious mechanical design that permits any of the 6 faces of the cube to be rotated.
		The obvious starting point is to name the faces of the cube by the colors of that face (or at least by the color of the corner cublet which never chianges its position relative to the rest of the cube).
		Below are two illustrations of this cube with (1) a corner cubelet twisted in the negative direction and (2) a corner cubelet twisted in the positive direction.

	Magic Cubes and Tesseracts
		A magic cube is defined as a cubical array such that all rows, columns, pillars, and four triagonals of the array sum to the same value (called the (magic) constant or the magic sum).
		It is not required that diagonals of a magic cube sum to the constant.
		Similarly, a magic tesseract is a four-dimensional hypercube whose rows, columns, pillars, files, and eight quadragonals sum to the constant.

	The Magic Polyhedra Patent Page
		In late 2000 I ran across a discussion of different magic polyhedra beyond the 3x3x3 cube - within the larger family of sequential movement puzzles - and was briefly hooked.
		A spider is used in the 3x3x3 cube, the Skewb, and the Impossiball.
		This puzzle is to the Rainbow Cube as the 5x5x5 is to the 3x3x3.

	Magic Cube
		I generated this magic cube from one of the magic polyhedron (circle) I have created in the previous page.
		This magic circle can also be converted to a magic polyhedron and a 6-dimensional magic cube.
		For the 6-dimensional magic cube, the sum of all the numbers on every cube or every diagonal is 134, and the sum on every bisectional plane is 134 x 2 = 268.

	Samadhi Magic Cube review
		The Samadhi Magic Cubes, at only $1, 395, are the first speakers I've heard that I could happily live with for under $2,000, a pleasant breakthrough in the price/performance ratio indeed.
		If you a re using speakers, like the Cubes, that really want to be at least six feet out into the room, the aquarium means that there is no way to damp the primary reflection from one speaker or the secondary reflection from the other speaker.
		The Magic Cubes are fairly attractive and should have a high spousal approval rating (with their speaker grills on anyway).

	Ivars Peterson's MathTrek - Perfect Magic Cubes
		A magic cube is a three-dimensional array of whole numbers, in which each row, column, and body diagonal (corner to corner, through the center) adds up to the same total.
		A perfect magic cube is one in which the diagonals of each vertical or horizontal slice through the cube also sum to the same value.
		As expected, the cube's magic constant is 315, and its central value is 63.

	Perfect Magic Cubes
		In a (simple) magic cube the sums of the numbers in the diagonals may differ from S. According to John Hendricks the expression 'perfect' should be reserved for magic cubes that are pandiagonal and pantriagonal.
		Therefore this cube is of some importance for the theory of magic cubes.
		Until September 1st, 2003 a diagonal magic cube of order 6 was not known and most magic cube experts thought that such a cube would not be possible.

	Problem B - Magic Cube
		Though it is not easy to construct a magic cube when N is even, there is a very simple approach for constructing one when N is odd.
		To construct an odd order magic cube, start by placing the integer 1 at the center of the bottom layer of the cube (Fig.
		First print the numbers in the top layer of the cube, followed by numbers in the second layer, then the numbers in the third layer, and so on.

	Rubik's Magic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		One quite rare version of Rubik's Magic was 'Create the Cube', in which the 8 tiles where coloured differently, and the aim was to make the cube shape so that the colours matched.
		On the front, the red magic is on the left, and the fl magic on the right, with the copyright messages of both of them along the bottom.
		On a normal magic, this would mean that the top halves of the unlinked rings are on the left, and the bottom halves are showing upside down on the right.

	Sept05 TopCoder Problem Statement: Magic Cube (Level 1, Easy)
		In a magic cube, we'll ignore the diagonals, but would like the rows, columns and pillars (pillars are analogous to rows and columns, but in the third dimension) to all have the same sum.
		We can define the 'magic score' of a cube as the difference between the largest sum and the smallest sum (where the sums come from rows, columns, and pillars).
		In the original cube, the magic score is 51-31=20.

		When the two agents arrived at the store, the lead agent asked Cox whether she carried a toy called the Magic Cube, which he said was an illegal copy of the Rubik's Cube, one of the most popular toys of all time.
		He told her to remove the Magic Cube from her shelves, and he watched to make sure she complied.
		After the agents left, Cox called the manufacturer of the Magic Cube, the Toysmith Group, which is based in Auburn, Wash. A representative told her that Rubik's Cube patent had expired, and the Magic Cube did not infringe on the rival toy's trademark.

	How to Solve the Rubik's Cube
		First of all, hold the cube so that the "empty" edge piece is in the BR position, and thus the "empty" corner piece is in the RDB position.
		Thus, there are two equally likely possibilities for the edge pieces when the cube is assembled randomly: edge pieces have been flipped from their true positions an even number of times, in which case the cube is solvable; or an odd number of times, in which case it's not.
		If you are down to the last few pieces and your cube is in a position for which there does not appear to be an appropriate move, you might want to check the list of unsolvable positions.
