<br />
<a name='more'></a>The site is available in the most common world languages. Besides English you can unlock the secret in Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Korean, French, Dutch, Hungarian, German and Polish. Use the little colored flag cube icons to select the language you understand.<br />
<br />
The site is just one long page where we can scroll down or use the navigation to jump to the desired breakpoints:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Short overview of the cube</b> - In order to understand the tutorial first we must spend some time to familiarize with the cube.</li>
<li><b>Notation of the Rubik's Cube</b> - Learn how we mark the six faces of the cube and the rotations in the algorithms.</li>
<li><b>Seven steps of the solution</b> - We separate the cube in 7 layers and we solve it step by step going from the bottom to the top, taking care of the solved pieces. In each stage there's a trick or algorithm we have to apply. A normal people can only reach the third step without learning the algorithms, so this guide will be useful.</li>
<li><b>Summary</b> - For an easy memorization and to help you practice you can find every algorithm (only 6) on one page.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Use the comment section if you don't understand something or if you have questions.</div>

Keaton Ellis achieved a 5.09 result but since Lucas Etter beat this time at the same competition on the same day with the very first sub 5 result this didn't count.<br />

We've been busy upgrading our website this is the main reason we ignored this blog for so long.
<br />
<br />
There were major upgrades <a href="http://ruwix.com/online-rubiks-cube-solver-program/" target="_blank">for the Rubik's Cube solver</a>:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Responsive layout</li>
<li>Optimized the amount of steps required for the solution. The average solution is now is 75 steps.</li>
<li>Added 8 languages</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Added <a href="http://ruwix.com/online-puzzle-simulators/" target="_blank">new puzzle simulators to our collection</a>. We added Skewb as it became an official WCA competition event.<br />
<a href="http://ruwix.com/online-puzzle-simulators/hungarian-rings/" target="_blank">The Hungarian Rings simulator</a> also came out pretty nice and it's really fun to play with.<br />
<br />
An other nice product that we've launched is the <a href="http://ruwix.com/saved-rubiks-cube/edit.php" target="_blank">interactive Rubik's Cube widget</a> which helps people save a Rubik's scramble/algorithm, then optionally embed it on a website. We use this nice widget for our <a href="http://ruwix.com/the-rubiks-cube/how-to-solve-the-rubiks-cube-beginners-method/" target="_blank">tutorial about solving the Rubik's Cube with the beginner's method</a>.<br />
<br />
There are som many other small upgrades we couldn't cover all of them. Just go ahead an look around on RUWIX.COM to find out more :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943367343251845878.post-90484050558151168662012-06-26T12:56:00.001-07:002012-07-26T09:31:39.265-07:00<h1>Rubix cube solver update</h1>
<p>You don't have to know the Rubix notation to use the Rubix cube solver because from now on if you hover over a rotation button the program will automatically display a picture explaining what it means. If shows a picture over the affected layer and shows the direction too.</p>
<p>To read more about this new feature please visit the <a href="http://ruwix.com/rubix-cube-solver-new-update2012/">Rubikx cube solver update</a> blog entry.
