If you, like me, prefer the unconventional method of prising off a corner to solve the Rubik’s cube, then you might want to skip the following information.
The latest craze involves attempting to solve a 4D version of the renowned puzzle. A group of mathematicians and programmers has collaborated to create a computer simulation (available for Windows and Linux) that allows users to try their hand at solving the 4D Rubik’s cube.
This 4D version introduces a vast number of permutations, surpassing the quantity of atoms in the entire universe. However, despite the increased complexity, those who have already mastered the 3D Rubik’s cube may find the 4D version to be only slightly more challenging.
As for me, I’m not entirely convinced. If I could somehow manage to prise off a corner of the 4D cube, I’m fairly certain there would be leftover pieces that I couldn’t quite figure out!
