I'd a friend who had a set pattern that he claimed could solve any scramble in 42 moves, he called it the "meaning of life" and after our math teacher did some calculations my friends pattern could easily solve 5% of all possible combinations, which isn't a lot until you figure out what 5 percent of 43 quintillion is

Well Dave, riddle me this. Theoretically the devil's algorithm would pass every possible state of the cube once, right? Meaning that if you started on a solved could you would turn the cube exactly 43252003274489856000 before reaching the starting cube.

The devil’s algorithm itself does not need to pass through every cube state. It just needs to eventually when repeated enough times. A devil’s algorithm could theoretically be shorter than the number of states. Take the 180° restricted 2x2x2. It has 24 possible states, yet a devil’s algorithm for it is R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 B2 R2, only 7 moves long. So there might be one for 3x3x3 shorter than 43 quintillion!

Okay let’s just pretend that ...ooh are there bloopers?

2 Ideas I got while watching the video: Idea 1: There's currently a sorting algorythm that solves ANY unordered set of numbers in a fixed amount of moves. If we can extend such a set to 3 dimensions and extend the soting algorhythm too, we can translate the sorting moves into actual moves. Idea 2: If idea 1 most likely doesn't work, perhaps we can work on a easier problem first, which is to try to find a way to solve the rubiks cube in 2 algorhythms instead of 1 first and then try to solve the original problem These ideas are probably garbage though and I am no math expert

"These ideas are probably garbage though and I am no math expert" Being a succesful math expert involves coming up with lots and lots of testable garbage ideas to get a feel for what might work, then stumble and fumble some more in the general right direction until you get lucky or being granted an epiphany. So that's that. Your idea nr 1 is difficult to implement, because most sorting algorithms rely on being able to swap any two elements of the set at all times, which isn't possible on a cube where you're restricted to a small subset of permutations. Idea nr. 2 is at least a perfectly reasonable plan to attack the problem, although to me it doesn't look all that promising or easy.

I study programming, I haven't heared of that algorithm, do you know what it's called? There exist algorithms that can sort in a fixed amount of time given unlimited computing resources, but those scale with the size of the set. There also exist fixed computing time sorts over a predetermined size of a set, however those rely on purpose built hardware rather then being an algorithm a general purpose computer (processor) could perform

I thought a Devil's algorithm was impossible given that there is a quite low maximum possible length cycle. Hm. Maybe not. Quick rant: There is a 2D analog of the 3x3, but it's not the floppy cube. That is unless you remove all the stickers from the large faces. You see, an N dimensional cube has N-1 dimensional faces. In the case of a 2D cube (i.e. square), the stickers are 1 dimensional, which could be represented by the edges of the floppy cube, if you imagine those 1D stickers being represented by some really thick lines. :-)

@nickfaire

Жыл бұрын

But the maximum possible lenght of a cycle just means that is you have a state of the cube x, which is represented by the class of equivalence of sequences of moves that turn the solved rubik cube into that state x, if you operate it with itself, that is, you applie over and over sequences of moves in that equivalence class, you will arrive to the solved state again in a limited ammount of repetitions. But, if the state is x and you applie a sequence of moves that it's not in it's class of equivalence, then that maximum does not applie.

Is the Hamiltonian circuit not an example of a devil's algorithm? The circuit visits every cube state, and so at some point visits the solved state. Assuming you're allowed to stop executing the devil's algorithm once you reach the solved state, I don't see why it wouldn't count?

I'm a bit confused. By definition, a hamiltonian circuit can start in any state, pass through all states (including the solved state), and return to the original state. That implies that a hamiltionian circuit is equivalent to a devil's algorithm. However, in the video, you claim that a devil's algorithm for the 3x3 has not been found, and then later claim that a hamiltonian circuit *has* been found.

@RowanFortier

11 ай бұрын

The hamiltonian circuit goes through every state without repeats and ends back where it starts. The devil's algorithm is like a shortcut for that. For the restricted 2x2x2, the hamiltonian is 24 moves, but the devil's alg is 7 moves long. We just haven't found one for 3x3x3 yet
