Speedcubers
Speedcubing or speedsolving is a competitive mind sport centered around the rapid solving of various combination puzzles. The most prominent puzzle in this category is the N-dimensional_sequential_move_puzzle, 3×3×3 puzzle, commonly known as the Rubik's Cube. Participants in this sport are called "speedcubers" (or simply "cubers"), who focus specifically on solving these puzzles at Optimal solutions for the Rubik's Cube, high speeds to get low clock times and/or fewest moves. The essential aspect of permutation, solving these puzzles typically involves executing a series of predefined algorithms in a particular sequence with eidetic memory, eidetic prediction and finger tricks. Competitive speedcubing is predominantly overseen by the World Cube Association (WCA), which officially recognizes 17 distinct speedcubing events. These events encompass a range of puzzles, including Cube_(algebra), N×N×N puzzles of sizes varying from 2×2×2 to 7×7×7, and other puzzle forms such as t ...
