Okay, it might not be the fastest phone-cubing you've ever seen (or the funkiest,)
but it's likely some of the shrewdest. Using an Ascend P6 at its heart,
"MultiCuber 3" is the latest contraption from serial cube-coder (and
ARM Engineer) David Gilday which combines Lego Mindstorms,
algorithms and "because it's there" style optimism in equal measures. A
custom app snaps the unsolved cube from all sides, to understand the
starting point, then figures out the quickest path to color-coded
harmony. Gilday claims that most human cubers would take about 120 moves
to solve the 4 x 4 puzzle, making MultiCuber 3's 50 somewhat
impressive. Watch the whole thing unfold in the video past the break,
complete with appropriately euphoric soundtrack.
