Then in the 1980s it was renamed to the Rubik’s Cube. The Speed Cube is a special version of the Rubik’s Cube that is meant to be solved very quickly. Those that try to solve it quickly are called “Speed Cubers“. They use tricks like Corner Cutting and Algorithms to eliminate time. The most popular method for solving the cube is CFOP which has four steps: Cross, F2L (First 2 Layers), OLL (Orientation of Last Layer), and PLL (Permutation of Last Layer). Other methods for solving the cube are Roux, ZZ, and Petrus. Inside the speed cube you’ll find the core made up of six center pieces, and then the twenty “cubies“ which consist of 12 edge pieces and 8 corner pieces. The Tension System is made of 6 springs inside the Center pieces. Some versions of the cube magnets inside the core - using MagLev technology.
