However, it turns out that they did still follow their patent, just in a different way, and that the GuHong did share similarities with the V-Cube patents. Despite this, people in the cubing community hated the V-Cube brand for this. Nowadays, V-Cubes aren't seen very often in cubing competitions. However, Verdes' design is still seen in newer cubes today.

This would have allowed room for a more efficient S-box, even if it is 16-uniform the probability of attack would have still been 2−200. There exist no bijections for even sized inputs/outputs with 2-uniformity. They exist in odd fields (such as GF(27)) using either cubing or inversion (there are other exponents that can be used as well).

However, writing around 20 years later, Jessica Fridrich who had participated in the contest, criticised the cubes for being "really hard to turn and were not prepared for serious speed cubing". This competition was the first officially recognised competition of its kind. The next competition was held in 2003 in Canada, with many differences to the competition structure and many other puzzles being added other than the Rubik's Cube.

As in the case of magic squares, a bimagic cube has the additional property of remaining a magic cube when all of the entries are squared, a trimagic cube remains a magic cube under both the operations of squaring the entries and of cubing the entries. (Only two of these are known, as of 2005.) A tetramagic cube remains a magic cube when the entries are squared, cubed, or raised to the fourth power.

Development of the E30 3 Series began in July 1976, with styling being developed under chief designer Claus Luthe with exterior styling led by Boyke Boyer. In 1978, the final design was approved, with design freeze (cubing process) being completed in 1979. BMW's launch film for the E30 shows the design process including Computer-aided design (CAD), crash testing and wind-tunnel testing. The car was released at the end of November 1982.

Hobbes then tried another tack, having solved, as he thought, another ancient problem, the duplication of the cube. He had his solution brought out anonymously in French, so as to put his critics off the scent. He slipped in algebraic terms in early efforts, by cubing to the answer 2. While Hobbes would withdraw some arguments as erroneous, he distinguished between "errors of negligence" and "errors of principle", and found the latter much harder to admit.

Floor-to-ceiling windows are incorporated into the western side of the hall, the lower third of which originally could be opened to access the greenery outside. The interior of the hall has been restored with sgrafitto plasterwork, the lower areas being clad in restored panels of Trosselfels marble. For both budgetary and environmental reasons, the original transparent ceiling skylight could not be reconstructed. That being said, in terms of its outline and cubing, the restored ceiling was recreated to resemble the spatial impression of the original.

By 1913 the quarry was well equipped with stone breaking machinery, rotary screens, cubing mill, a steam loco, cranes, compressed air rock drills, and an aerial ropeway that carried the quarry products to a railway siding at Monkmoors. Its output of granite kerbs, channels, setts, macadam, and crushed granite reached a total of about 25,000 tons per annum that year. In 1926 it provided road stone for the widening of the main road through the parish. Thereafter the quarry began to decline, and in 1930 the Eskmeals Granite Company ceased operations.

They, as well as dishes featuring the sweet potato root, are commonly found at bento () restaurants. In northeastern Chinese cuisine, sweet potatoes are often cut into chunks and fried, before being drenched into a pan of boiling syrup. In some regions of India, sweet potato is roasted slow over kitchen coals at night and eaten with some dressing while the easier way in the south is simply boiling or pressure cooking before peeling, cubing and seasoning for a vegetable dish as part of the meal. In Indian state of Tamil Nadu, it is known as 'Sakkara valli Kilangu'.

Dimensioners first appeared on the market in 1985 when a Norwegian company named Cargoscan saw a gap between carriers' income and their potential income and began producing dimensioning and data capture solutions for companies all over the world. Since then, automated dimensioning solutions produced by different manufacturers have come to market. Today, companies such as Tricolops and its RapidSize Dimensioner, Mettler Toledo (acquired Cargoscan in 2000), BeeVision, Magaya, FreightSnap, Cubiscan, ExpressCube, Qubevu, Cind, Cargometer and others produce cubing and dimensioning equipment for the logistics and transport industries. There are various technologies used in dimensioning devices varying from point distance sensors to 3D-cameras.

At the time, the reason as to why the GuHong was taken down was unknown. There was no statement from Verdes Innovations as to why they issued takedown notices for the GuHong, and things only became more confusing in 2012 with the release of the V-Cube 3. The V-Cube 3 that got released featured a design that shared very little similarities with the 3x3x3 in the original V-Cube patent, but looked very similar to the design of the Dayan GuHong. This made those in the cubing community even more infuriated at V-Cube, because it seemed they had wrongfully taken down the GuHong.

Cubing the cube is the analogue in three dimensions of squaring the square: that is, given a cube C, the problem of dividing it into finitely many smaller cubes, no two congruent. Unlike the case of squaring the square, a hard yet solvable problem, there is no perfect cubed cube and, more generally, no dissection of a rectangular cuboid C into a finite number of unequal cubes. To prove this, we start with the following claim: for any perfect dissection of a rectangle in squares, the smallest square in this dissection does not lie on an edge of the rectangle. Indeed, each corner square has a smaller adjacent edge square, and the smallest edge square is adjacent to smaller squares not on the edge.

In December of 2010, Verdes Innovations started issuing takedown notices to online webstores to take down pages for the Dayan Guhong and Maru 4x4 for "patent infringement". While most people weren't upset about the Maru 4x4 being taken down being that it was extremely similar to the 4x4x4 cube in the V-Cube patent, the Dayan Guhong didn't share many similarities to the 3x3x3 shown in the V-Cube patent. This made those in the cubing community upset, given there was no evident reason at the time for the cube being taken down, and also because it was one of the best cubes for speedcubing at the time. Eventually, Verdes Innovations reversed the takedown notices and allowed for the Maru 4x4 and Dayan GuHong to be sold again.

Rubik's Cube lends itself to the application of mathematical group theory, which has been helpful for deducing certain algorithms – in particular, those which have a commutator structure, namely XYX−1Y−1 (where X and Y are specific moves or move-sequences and X−1 and Y−1 are their respective inverses), or a conjugate structure, namely XYX−1, often referred to by speedcubers colloquially as a "setup move". In addition, the fact that there are well-defined subgroups within the Rubik's Cube group enables the puzzle to be learned and mastered by moving up through various self-contained "levels of difficulty". For example, one such "level" could involve solving cubes which have been scrambled using only 180-degree turns. These subgroups are the principle underlying the computer cubing methods by Thistlethwaite and Kociemba, which solve the cube by further reducing it to another subgroup.

D. António Tomás da Guarda Cabreira de Faria e Alvelos Drago da Ponte (30 October 1868 - 21 November 1953) was a Portuguese mathematician, polygraph and publicist. A member of the aristocratic Cabreira family, António Cabreira was a claimant to the Miguelist noble titles of Count of Lagos and Viscount of Vale da Mata, which he used. António Cabreira is notable for his vast published work on an extensive variety of different fields (among them mathematics and geometry — one of his papers posited a solution for the problem of squaring the circle, as well as that of circling the square, cubing the sphere, and sphering the cube — mechanics, astronomy, literature, art, anthropology, philosophy, sociology, history, archaeology, insurance, jurisprudence, politics, and military organisation), and for spearheading the creation of many ephemeral learned societies, chief among them the Academy of Sciences of Portugal (created in 1907 after dissension with the Lisbon Academy of Sciences) and the António Cabreira Institute (established in 1919).

The Vietoris–Rips complex of a set of points in a metric space is a special case of a clique complex, formed from the unit disk graph of the points; however, every clique complex X(G) may be interpreted as the Vietoris–Rips complex of the shortest path metric on the underlying graph G. describe an application of conformal hypergraphs in the logics of relational structures. In that context, the Gaifman graph of a relational structure is the same as the underlying graph of the hypergraph representing the structure, and a structure is guarded if it corresponds to a conformal hypergraph. Gromov showed that a cubical complex (that is, a family of hypercubes intersecting face-to-face) forms a CAT(0) space if and only if the complex is simply connected and the link of every vertex forms a flag complex. A cubical complex meeting these conditions is sometimes called a cubing or a space with walls..
