Rubik's Cube Now Solvable in 20 Moves

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday August 9, 2010 @03:30AM from the good-use-of-spare-time dept.

A few years ago we reported that it had been proven that Rubik's Cubes could be solved in 23 moves. Well now that number is down to just 20. Proving it required 35 years of computer time donated by Google to get it done.

It can't possibly be 35 years! Google is not that old.
Stop regurgitating meaningless numbers. Even the article itself can't seem to explain the 35 (cpu) years. What kind of CPU?
