Most expert speedcubers – individuals who compete to unravel Rubik’s cubes with essentially the most pace and effectivity – select to unravel the ultimate layer of the dice with two separate strikes that contain 57 attainable sequences for the penultimate step and 21 attainable sequences for the ultimate transfer.
Combining these two separate actions right into a single transfer requires an individual to memorise 3915 attainable sequences. These sequences had been beforehand identified to be attainable, however no person is reported to have efficiently achieved this so-called “Full 1 Look Final Layer” (Full 1LLL) transfer till a speedcuber going by the net username “edmarter” shared a YouTube video demonstrating that accomplishment.
Edmarter says he determined to take up the problem after seeing notable speedcubers attempt to fail. Over the course of a few 12 months, he spent 10 hours every weekend and any free time in the course of the week working towards and memorising the required sequences, he instructed New Scientist. That always concerned memorising 144 motion sequences in a single day.
All that effort paid off on 4 August 2022 when edmarter uploaded a video demonstrating the Full 1LLL over the course of 100 separate puzzle solves. He additionally posted his accomplishment to Reddit’s r/Cubers group.
His common remedy time for every Rubik’s dice over the course of that video demonstration run was 14.79 seconds. He says he had a median remedy time as little as 12.50 seconds throughout two follow runs earlier than recording the video.
