    For 2x2: no matter how scrambled it is, you can always rotate the cube to solve the UFR corner(red white green), so instead of having the centers as a reference, we need to have the ufr corner. On a 2x2, you can just swap 2 pieces and you explained why in the impossible case video. There are 8 corners but one is fixed so there are only 7 corners that can be unsolved. 7!. They can al be twisted freely except for one of them, the ufl for example. So 3^7/3x7!=3674160

      My solution was just to multiply 3^7 and 8! together and then divide by 24 because there are 6 × 4 = 24 ways to orient the puzzle
      Your solution took out that 24 in the first calculation, which is in my opinion, a better way of thinking about it :)

      The difference is that there are no centers on a 2×2. A solved state with White Top Green Front is the same as a solved state with Green Top and Red Front etc. There are 24 ways of orienting the cube, so we divide what we have be 24.

    There are 3,674,160 possible solvable combination of pieces in a 2x2 Rubik's cube. The corners can be positioned in any way so there are 8! = 40,320 possible combinations. 7 of the 8 corners can be oriented in any way so there are 3^7 = 2,187 combinations. Multiplying these two results gives us 88,179,840. But there are no fixed centers on the 2x2, and there are 24 ways to orient the centers, so we divide 88,179,840 by 24 which gives us the answer of 3,674,160.

    2x2 has 3.674.160 possible combinations. Here's why:
    Any permutation of the eight corners is possible (8! positions), and seven of them can be independently rotated (3^7 positions). There is nothing identifying the orientation of the cube in space, reducing the positions by a factor of 24. This is because all 24 possible positions and orientations of the first corner are equivalent due to the lack of fixed centers. This factor does not appear when calculating the permutations of N×N×N cubes where N is odd, since those puzzles have fixed centers which identify the cube's spatial orientation.
    So, the number of possible positions of the cube is (8!*3^7)/24 = 3.674.160

      @@MatthewLiuCube Wow, first I thought that both solutions are the same but I was wrong...
      The cool thing about orientation of the 2x2 is you can determine it 2 different ways.
      Given the fact the 2x2 is engineered like a 3x3 you actually can use the core as a reference point, the corners could be in a solved state in 6x4=24 different orientations as mentioned by SpaceDragon.
      But the cube's orientation is also determined by choosing a corner and it's orientation which is actually Not the same maths: it's 8x3=24. So here 8!/8=7! and (3^7)/3=3^6 which gives you the calculation of fixed corner solution.
      TLDR:
      1. Take a 3x3 and cancel the orientation relative to the core (6x4=24) out
      OR
      2. Cancel the orientation with fixed corner (8x3=24) and then calculate the canceled version.

      I'm 81.5 years old, and consider learning to solve the cube from memory to be great exercise for the geriatric mind. It is similar to learning to play a piano composition from memory. Both require a certain sequence of operations. The 88 keys on the piano offer a large number of combinations but only some combinations sound harmonious. Dissonance is required for sophisticated music, but it must be applied properly. Rhythm is obviously another variable along with dynamics.

  • @ndas1114
    @ndas1114 4 года назад +21

    I hope this is right:
    For 2x2 because there aren't any edges the corners can be permuted in any way so there's a total of 8! ways, or 40320 possible permutations. As for orientation the first 7 corners can be oriented in any way, whereas the last one must be oriented in a specific way, so the total possible orientations is 3^7, or 2187. Multiplying 2187 by 40320 yields 88179840. However, the lack of fixed centers on a 2x2 is not accounted for. The above calculation assumes fixed centers, and since centers can be oriented in 24 different ways the number must be divided by 24 (because changing center orientation doesn't have an impact on the scramble for 2x2), and 88179840 divided by 24 gets the actual answer of 3674160 possible scrambles on a 2x2.

    • @JPerm

    A 2x2 has no centers, so there is technically only one way to insert the first corner, meaning 7! corner permutations. For this same reason, the first corner can only be flipped one way, and the last corner cannot be flipped for it to be solvable, which means 3^6 orientations. Thus, the total ends up being 7! * 3^6 = 3,674,160 possible positions. Great video! By far the best explanation on this topic that I've ever seen!

    Use the similar logic from the 3x3x3 corner permutations (8!*3^7). Realize that the cube itself doesn't have a fixed position like the 3x3x3 due to a lack of fixed centers. Count the number of possible ways of orienting the 2x2x2 in space (24). Exclude those possiblities by dividing the former by the latter (8!*3^7/24): 3,674,160. Q.E.D.

    There are 8 pieces on a 2x2, but there are no centers, so we can put the first corner wherever we like, and put all the other pieces based on the first piece's location, for the other corners there are 7 possible positions, so it will be: 7! = 5040, unlike 3x3, there can be 2 swapped corners.
    there are 3 possible rotations a corner can be in, and there can't be 1 twisted corner, so 3⁶ = 729
    So the number of possible scrambles in the 2x2x2 is: 5040 * 729 = 3,674,160

    The nubmer of posisble combintions on a 2x2 Rubik’s Cube can be calcluated using combiantorics. Each stiker on the cube can have one of 6 colros (assuming a stadnard Rubik’s Cube), and there are 8 corner pecies. for each corner, there are 6 possible cloro choices. Since there are 8 corners, you have 6^8 possible combinations for the corners alone. However, each corner’s orientaiton is dependnet on the orientations of the others, limiting the combiantions. The actual number of possible combiantions for the corners is 3,674,160.

      There are 3674160 permutations on a 2×2 Cube.
      We can calculate this similarly, but not completely the same.
      There are 8! × 3^7 ways to arrange the corners and permute them, like how J Perm said in the video, but there are no centers on it, which means that you will get duplicate scrambles. This number is 88179840
      Think of it this way. If you had a solved 2×2 when holding white top green front, it is the same as holding it green top white front, both are the same scramble (in this case, the solved state)
      You have 6 options for which side it on top and 4 for which is on the front, and then the last four sides will be determined automatically. This means that we have 6 × 4 = 24 times too many permutations.
      All we need to do now is to divide 88179840 by 24 to get the magic number 3674160.

    For 2x2: The intuitive answer would be 8! x 3^8 / 3 (88,179,840). But since there are no middle pieces, the first corner you place does not really have 8 choices because there is nothing it is being positioned relative to. But after the first piece is placed, the second piece has 7 positions relative to that and so on. Also, we would have to lock the position of the first piece in terms of orientation, otherwise we'd get duplicates because every actual position could be attained three different ways, one for each of the ways we orient the first piece. Seems if we divide that first number by 24 we'd get the right number. (3,674,160).

      In the calculation for the 2x2x2, one corner must be assumed to be fixed, just as the center pieces of the 3x3x3, otherwise you will count combinations, where actually the whole cube is only rotated, as different combinations. So there are only 7 corner pieces to be assembled. 7!*3^7=11,022,480. Placing the corners is arbitrary, because you can swap 2 corners on the 2x2x2 but we have to divide by 3 because we can't flip the corners arbitrarily. 7!*3^7/3=11,022,480/3=3,674,160.

    hey hey hey i saw some cube solve hero stuff right there
    also for the 2x2 permutations:
    there are 8 corners. so you have to 8! (8 factorial) so that you can get the number of spots. That is 40320 combinations. Now if we listened to what J Perm said for 3x3, the last 2 corners can only have a fixed position. HOWEVER, a 2x2 does not require that. So we can just leave the number of spots to be 40320. Now, for corner orientations, it is just 3^8 ÷ 3, since one corner always has to be oriented to make sure there won't be corner twists. So we take 3^7 × 40320 = 88, 179, 840.
    Hold on it's wrong.
