The 1x1 rubik cube is a mechanical puzzle that has fascinated millions of people around the world. However, it is very difficult to solve.

The puzzle consists of six coloured sides, twelve edge pieces and eight corner pieces. These pieces can be twisted and turned to change the colour of each side.

Colors

A standard Rubik’s cube is made up of a single core piece that holds the six centre squares in place while allowing them to rotate, and twenty smaller plastic pieces. Each of the cubies has one colored sticker on its external side.

Those stickers show one of six solid colors: white, red, blue, orange, yellow or green. The position of the stickers and the arrangement of the colors vary from cube to cube, but they are always arranged in a clockwise fashion.

Once the puzzle has been solved, each of the six faces shows a different color combination. The corners have three coloured sides, the edges have two coloured sides and the central cubies show one coloured side each.

The world record for solving a 1x1 Rubik’s cube is 8 minutes 59 seconds by Yusheng Du (China) at the Wuhu Open 2018. It is also possible to solve 3x3x3 Rubik’s cubes with an average speed of 3.47 seconds, which is the fastest time ever by a human in a WCA event.

Size

The standard size of a Rubik’s cube is 5.7 cm (approximately 2 1/4 inches) on each side. It consists of twenty-six unique miniature cubes, also known as “cubies” or “cubelets.” Each cube includes a concealed inward extension that interlocks with the other cubes and permits them to move to different locations.

Each of the six faces of the puzzle is a different color, and the goal is to twist, turn, and rotate each of them so that all of them are solidly colored again. There are billions of possible combinations, but only one solution!

Solving a Rubik’s cube can be difficult, but there are plenty of ways to help you get started. The best approach is to start with a small version of the puzzle and work your way up, so that you can master it before moving on to larger ones.

Weight

The 1x1 rubik cube is made of plastic and weighs around 2.2 lbs. It is manufactured from high molecular weight polymers, which are durable and strong materials that can be molded into a variety of shapes.

To manufacture the cube, plastic is poured into a mold. It is held under pressure for a set amount of time and then allowed to cool. Once the cube is cooled, it is molded into the final shape.

When the cube is molded, it contains six "3-D crosses" or center pieces. Each piece pivots on a screw (fastener) and a spring between the screw head and its corresponding piece tensions it inward, ensuring that the pieces stay stable during play.

The cube was originally designed in Budapest, Hungary by Professor Erno Rubik. He wanted the cube to be a learning tool for his students, who were studying 'form studies'. Despite the communist political climate, it was later brought to an international market thanks to the efforts of Dr. Laczi Tibor and Tom Kremer.

Assembly

In 1974 Erno Rubik invented a mechanical puzzle, the Rubik's cube, which consists of 26 smaller colored cubes (three each of six faces). These pieces can be rotated around invisible axes and can be used to solve puzzles.

The primary manufacturing method for the cube involves injection molding of various component parts, followed by assembly, labeling, and packaging. The quality of the individual parts is inspected immediately after exiting the mold.

Aside from visual inspection, line inspectors may also randomly check the plastic parts at fixed time intervals to ensure that they meet size, shape, and consistency specifications.

For this reason, it is not easy for an amateur to assemble a Rubik's type cube from scratch without any prior knowledge of the basic principles of permutation and combination. The process can take years.
