SkimmIQ. The brief.
A cube where the stickers go their own way.
Animation disabled by your reduced-motion setting.
The faces don't turn. Instead, the colored stickers create closed bands that slide around the cube. That single change breaks every classic cube method - r/Cubers members confirmed that CFOP and Roux do not transfer.
Take the Rubik's Cube's 43 quintillion combinations. Now multiply them by another two quintillion. That is the scale. This is SkimmIQ.
The facts:
- Exactly 101,
097, reachable states (54!/(9!)6). Every one of them is provably solvable.362, 223, 624, 462, 291, 180, 422, 369, 532, 000, 000 - The app's AI solvers find a route from any state in a second or two, on-device.
- The Bear Method now exists. Expensive-Bear-1376 documented the first human approach and used it to cut the record from 240 to 107 moves. What remains open is independent testing, clear teaching, and the next improvement toward the AI's roughly 60.
