The Quest to Solve Every Possible Scramble on a Rubik's Cube

🧩The number of possible scrambles on a 3x3 Rubik's Cube is 43 quintillion, 252 quadrillion, 3 trillion, 274 billion, 489 million, 856 thousand.

💪A hypothetical scenario where the entire global population, including aliens and dogs, work together to solve every scramble would still take over 8,229 years.

☕️An element called super coffee, given by aliens, speeds up productivity by 6,000%. With this, the average solve time is reduced to one second.

⌛️The current speed and number of cubers in the community make it impossible to solve every possible scramble in a reasonable amount of time.

❓It remains unknown whether every possible scramble on a 3x3 Rubik's Cube can be solved.

How many possible scrambles are there on a 3x3 Rubik's Cube?

—There are 43 quintillion, 252 quadrillion, 3 trillion, 274 billion, 489 million, 856 thousand possible scrambles on a 3x3 Rubik's Cube.

Could the global community solve every possible scramble on a 3x3 Rubik's Cube?

—Even with the help of billions of people, it would take over 8,229 years to solve every possible scramble on a 3x3 Rubik's Cube.
