In fact.
Using a Rubik’s cube calculator to find the reduction steps for the Superflip state does not fully prove God’s number.
There’s a loophole here.
The Superflip state is known as the most chaotic state, but the premise is ’known’, which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the most chaotic.
Specifically, to prove the God’s number of a 3x3 Rubik’s cube, there are two methods.
One is to prove that a certain state is the most chaotic.
The other is the enumerative method, which uses the world’s most advanced supercomputers to cover all possible states of the 3x3 cube and calculate the minimal steps to restore each.
No one has been able to prove the first method.
Some research teams hope to use the second method, combining group theory with supercomputers, to enumerate and cover all possible states of the cube to forcefully calculate God’s number.
Previously, due to the lack of good algorithms, even the most top-notch computers were unable to complete such a staggering amount of calculations.
But with the Rubik’s cube calculator, everything became possible.
The supercomputers used by Professor Liu Hemin’s research team are used for the routine research of the National Academy of Sciences, and barely qualify as ’super’. They are insignificant in the world.
Even so, they didn’t spend much time and didn’t have to improve the algorithm much, yet they were able to cover hundreds of millions of cube states.
This indicates the efficiency of the cube calculator’s algorithm.
If we use the world’s top-ranked supercomputers, combined with group theory and other state filtering methods, covering all states of the cube become possible, no, it’s more like it could be done easily.
So Professor Liu Hemin’s team also declared something--
Whichever research team is interested in and willing to dedicate effort to apply for supercomputers, can use the cube calculator to cover all possible states of the 3x3 cube and fully prove God’s number.
Of course.
Unless there’s an anomaly, the number is 20.
Liu Hemin is one of the National Academy of Sciences’ experts in mathematics and computer science, especially in the fields of mathematical model construction and artificial neural network development, and he is also one of the top figures in the world.
After he spoke up, all doubts disappeared.
There are still some voices in the academic community questioning whether the cube calculator can cover all cube states and ensure the results are ’minimal steps’, but one thing is certain, the cube calculator is not a scam, and it contains a very sophisticated simplification algorithm. freeweɓnøvel.com
Suddenly.
The netizens from the country became relieved.
Those who had only been watching and didn’t want to be scammed twenty dollars, are also willing to pay twenty dollars to activate it.
The downloads and activations of the cube calculator significantly increased.
This trend soon hit overseas.
Because it’s troublesome for overseas users to make online payments to China, many overseas netizens came up with various solutions.
This is an opportunity for publicity and a great market!
Zhang Zhen quickly contacted Zhao Yi, wanting him to release some source code, such as the art of the calculator, input and output features. Additionally, they needed to discuss the income from the payments, as entering the international market would certainly require some costs.
Eventually, Zhao Yi agreed.
What he cares about is not revealing the core algorithm before publishing the paper, the rest doesn’t matter. With a company helping to promote, and the calculator selling abroad, he could earn additional income, and potentially a hefty one.
It’s now harvest time--
[Achievement in manufacturing Rubik’s cube calculator.]
[Research Coin +12.]
[Academic fame has risen!]
[Research Coin +6.]
[Academic fame has risen, Study Coin +500.]
Zhao Yi laughed.
The number of Research Coins increased by 18 at once, and additionally, he received 500 Study Coins. The first wave of gains was not bad at all.
[Open the system!]
A system panel appears in his mind--
[Name: Zhao Yi.]
[Brain Domain Development: 5.3%.]
[Wisdom: 62.]
[Energy: 82/104.]
[Study Coin: 649.]
[Research Coin: 25.]
[Abilities: "Causality Law", "Connection Law". (Activating the next stage of ability requires 6000 Study Coins.)]
"Did my wisdom increase by one point?"
Zhao Yi immediately noticed the data change. He has always been unclear about the ’wisdom’ attribute. The description says it’s a comprehensive evaluation attribute, but it’s hard to say how it grows.
Doing more problems?
Doing research?
"Could wisdom be understood as problem-solving or research ability? Because I’ve had an experience in creating a new algorithm, which has deepened my understanding of algorithms, did wisdom get a corresponding boost?"
Maybe.
Zhao Yi pondered it thoroughly but couldn’t figure it out. He simply didn’t waste more brain cells on it, as wisdom is primarily an evaluative attribute.
What’s the use of evaluation?
Even if it evaluates 1000 points of wisdom, it cannot help him solve problems or make him smarter; the most effective thing is still ability.
So, the key is Study Coin.
Zhao Yi looked forward, extending his finger and poking the air a few times.
Lin Xiaoqing turned her head and puckered her lips, asking, "What are you doing!"
"I can’t control it." Zhao Yi shook his head with a face full of melancholy. "I always want to see you look back at me..."
Lin Xiaoqing blushed and swung a small punch at Zhao Yi. The corners of her mouth turned into a beautiful curve. Zhao Yi continued, "It always brightens my day, because it reassures me that a pig is not the most hideous creature."
Lin Xiaoqing took a deep breath, turned her head to scan the teacher, Wang Ping, on the podium, and mouthed three words fiercely at Zhao Yi, "You!"
"Are!"
"Dead!"
Zhao Yi’s eyes were full of laughter, he put his finger to his lips, blew a kiss, and cheekily winked.
Lin Xiaoqing trembled with anger.
"Ring~~"
"Class dismissed!"
At the instant teacher Wang Ping announced dismissal, Zhao Yi bolted towards the classroom door like lightning, shouting on the run, "Monkey, bathroom!"
"Oh~"
"Zhao Yi, don’t run! Stop right there!"
From behind.
Lin Xiaoqing chased after him fiercely.
[Teasing women, target: Lin Xiaoqing, Study Coin+3.]
As expected!
This trick works!
...
Meanwhile, the buzz around the Rubik’s cube calculator continued.
What the academic circle inside the country cared more about was the simplified algorithm within the Rubik’s cube calculator. A piece of information also circulated, stating that the creator of the Rubik’s cube calculator, Zhao Yi, was writing a research paper related to the core algorithm and decided to officially publish it.
Quite a few people started anticipating the paper. freewebnoveℓ.com
A new algorithm in the computer industry that can solve the world’s Rubik’s cube problem means solving a similar series of problems. The application of the algorithm would be extensive. Fields like artificial intelligence, big data analysis and so on require astonishing computational power, hence simplified algorithms are always welcomed.
Many people felt an itch in their hearts, eager to get their hands on the algorithm paper.
Wang Chengmin started to have a headache.
"Ring ~~"
The phone rang.
As soon as Wang Chengmin picked up the phone, the voice on the other end said, "Is this Zhengyang Thirteenth Middle School? I got your number from the Education Bureau."
"Yes. May I ask..."
"I am Li Guoli from the Intelligent Analysis Laboratory of Renmin University. Your school’s senior student Zhao Yi... I want to know, how is his paper coming along?"
"He should be in class, right?"
Wang Chengmin responded matter-of-factly.
"What? In class? He should be focusing on his paper!" Li Guoli was slightly agitated. After realizing his tone was harsh, he quickly apologised and began explaining the importance of the paper.
Wang Chengmin, a mere high school principal who needed professional help to remove a computer virus, was left in a daze, not understanding much of the conversation.
After hanging up, he was still puzzled, "Attending class is not taking his responsibilities seriously? Even if Zhao Yi is good with computers, he is still just a high school student!"
Soon.
He changed his mind.
"Hello, is this Zhengyang No.13 Middle School? I am Zhu Yonghao from the Computer Science Lab of Capital University. Zhao Yi..."
"What? In class? Why isn’t he writing his paper instead of attending class?!"
"..."
"I am Zhou Huimin, the president of Jiangzhou University. Our School of Information’s Professor Zheng asked me to inquire about Zhao Yi’s paper..."
"Class? Attending what class? He’s forsaking his duty! Even if he doesn’t do well on his College Entrance Examination, he can come to Jiangzhou University. I will make it happen!"
"Hurry and let him go and write the paper."
"..."
"..."
In just one day, Wang Chengmin received seven or eight calls, each from influential figures.
In the end, he had no choice but to go to the classroom.
He went up to Zhao Yi and said solemnly, "Zhao Yi, how about this, let’s make a deal? You stop attending class, I’ll grant you leave, as long as you need. Please go home and write your paper?"
Zhao Yi immediately shook his head, "No, my grades are still too low, I need to improve in Comprehensive Sciences, Chinese, and Mathematics."
"And the Mathematical Olympiad competition is coming up..."
"Right!"
Niu Lianhua immediately stepped forward, her bulging eyes glaring at Wang Chengmin, "Principal Wang, what do you mean? Our school finally has a promising Mathematical Olympiad candidate and you’re stopping him from attending class and giving him a vacation?"
Her saliva nearly spritzed onto Wang Chengmin’s face.
Principal Wang instantly took two steps back, took a deep breath, and decided not to argue.
Going to school, is it?
Fine!
I am sick, I need a vacation!
