Genius of the Rules-Style System

"Expert on Rubik's Cube Algorithm: It is impossible for a home computer to solve the third-order Rubik's Cube!"

"Software recharge to unlock, a new type of fraud!"

“The fraudster actually deceived the Chinese media!”

Relevant reports soon appeared in the American media.

Most Americans regard it as a joke and don't think it is such a big news. There are always negative news about countries across the ocean in the news, and they have long been used to it.

In American public opinion, the news only made a small splash and was quickly forgotten.

China is different.

Many people in China pay attention to overseas news.

This is especially true for the media.

"Tongzhi News Network" is such a media. They like to send overseas news to China. All they have to do is find useful news and then translate it into Chinese.

The news would quickly translate into domestic coverage.

Fang Datong is the editor-in-chief of "Tongzhi News Network". Apart from managing published content, he spends most of his time browsing overseas news.

When he was browsing this day, he was immediately attracted by a piece of information.

“The fraudster actually deceived the Chinese media!”

"Scammer?"

"Chinese media?"

Fang Datong opened the news and read it, and then combined with the domestic media reports, he immediately became energetic.

He doesn't entirely trust overseas reports.

Some overseas reports are purely deliberately smearing and have no reference at all, but this report is very true and quotes a professor in the professional field.

"It is impossible for a home computer to solve the third-order Rubik's Cube!"

"I have studied the Rubik's Cube for fifteen years and thought about various algorithms, but I still cannot simplify the calculation amount to an acceptable level..."

A mathematics professor from a top American university could solve a problem that he had been unable to solve for fifteen years by a Chinese high school student?

It's like a joke!

Fang Datong immediately downloaded the Rubik's Cube Calculator, and after installation, he opened a webpage according to the prompts.

Can't open!

He couldn't open it even after trying several times, and he was suddenly more convinced of the news content.

soon.

"Tongzhi News Network" published a piece of news, and it was also hung on the cover of the top column of the homepage. The title was "The Price of Ignorance: High School Students Who Deceived the World Will Eventually Be Punished by the Law!" 》.

This title makes people easily think of the story of a high school student who does not understand the law, fabricates lies to deceive the world, and is eventually punished by the law.

As soon as the news was posted, it attracted a large number of clicks.

"Overnight, a tool software called 'Rubik's Cube Calculator' became popular on the Internet. Anyone who knows it will know what it means."

"Representatives will be a new simplified algorithm!"

"Represents deciphering the number of God!"

"However, many people have never thought about it. Is it possible for a high school student to solve the world's problems?"

"Morey Davidson is a professor of mathematics at Kent State University in the United States. He has been working on the Rubik's Cube algorithm for fifteen years and is known as the 'Rubik's Cube Algorithm Expert'..."

That's what the Internet is like.

When different media reports appear, they always attract some people who agree. Tongzhi News Network also has a certain influence, and their reports are quickly reprinted by other media.

Suddenly.

A second voice appeared on the Internet--

"I said it's impossible! I've also studied the algorithm of the Rubik's Cube. Just thinking about it makes me dizzy. A high school student? Haha."

"Rubik's Cube Calculator? It's just a scam software!"

"Even some media have been deceived. When they issue reports, don't they try it once?"

“It costs money to try it out!”

"The webpage that gave me the password can no longer be opened. It must have been locked, blocked, or blocked by the Internet police."

…

Zhao Yi noticed the public opinion situation that day.

fine.

Only some media released news, citing overseas reports and saying that he was a "liar", but similar situations on the Internet are normal, and any news will have different voices.

He didn't care.

Real is real.

On some forums, some people also sent messages to clarify that they were all people who successfully completed the recharge and successfully unlocked the trial Rubik's Cube calculator.

so……

In fact, it’s still the charges that have to be blamed.

If the Rubik's Cube Calculator became free to use, there would naturally be no claims of "fraud" and there would definitely be much less negative publicity.

Zhao Yi didn't care either.

He had no intention of making it public for free.

This is not selfish.

Some large companies, laboratories, and scientific research institutions have invested a lot of money, manpower, and material resources to develop technologies and products. No one can expect them to make them available to the public for free, right?

Zhao Yi does not expect to make a lot of money, but the income is an affirmation of hard work.

He is having a headache with the recharge website.

The service organization of the website provides a server that can provide traffic access for about a thousand people for the lower-level pages rented. If you want to rent a higher-end server, the annual cost will be calculated in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.

That's not worth it!

The Rubik's Cube Calculator is just a tool software. Once you get the password to unlock it, you will no longer receive income.

This is a one-time sale.

For example, if you rent a server for 100,000 people to browse, even if you can make back your capital in one go, you won't get much income at all in the future.

"Boom, boom!"

New news from Penguin.

Zhao Yi knew it was Zhang Zhen as soon as he saw the profile picture.

Zhang Zhen’s message was a bit surprising, “Do you have any ideas for cooperation with your Rubik’s Cube calculator?”

"You want to buy an algorithm?"

"no."

Zhang Zhen said, "There is no need to buy the algorithm. The cost is too high, and it is difficult to own it exclusively. I guess you will make it public in the future, right?"

"right."

Zhao Yi still admitted it.

This is a fact.

There are new algorithms in the computer field, which can only be kept secret for a period of time at most, and cannot be occupied forever. As long as the results are produced based on the algorithm, it is only a matter of time before someone cracks them with clues.

Zhang Zhen said, "That's what I think. Our company can help you create a new payment page, and the server is also provided for free. The account for collecting payments is still your own."

"so good?"

"/Haha, of course. If you believe me, just send me the algorithm package of the password. It just needs to be encrypted, as well as your account information, and then wait for me to send you the link."

Zhang Zhen said a lot in one breath.

Zhao Yi thought about it carefully and understood what Zhang Zhen meant.

This is advertising!

Rubik's Cube calculators are so popular now, and there are a lot of news on the Internet. He must want to put the link on his company's website. When users click on it, they will be able to see their company's advertisements, and maybe people will think that , what is the relationship between the Rubik's Cube Calculator and their company.

even……

If you add a few advertising products to the web interface, can you still make a lot of money?

Zhao Yi shook his head.

He still encrypted the cryptographic algorithm package and sent it.

Half an hour later, Zhang Zhen provided a web link and sent a message along the way, "/Shy, add an advertisement by the way!"

Zhao Yi was relieved.

He modified the recharge link prompted by the software, and then sent Zhang Zhen an installation package called 'Rubik's Cube Calculator Version 1.0'.

soon.

A new version of the Rubik's Cube calculator has appeared on the Internet.

…

Zhang Zhen only said a few words to Zhao Yi, like a private chat or personal help.

In fact, it's collaboration.

Capital Zhouyu Interactive Technology Company attaches great importance to cooperation, probably for publicity purposes. They immediately announced to the outside world, "Our company has cooperated with Zhao Yi, the maker of the Rubik's Cube Calculator. The unlocking and payment parts of the Rubik's Cube Calculator. It will be operated by our company website.”

The content of the announcement is simple.

The two parties did not sign a formal cooperation agreement, and Capital Zhouyu just wanted the outside world to remember their company's name when downloading the Rubik's Cube calculator.

The upgrade of the Rubik's Cube calculator and the changes to the recharge page are also known to many people.

Many people are downloading and recharging, wanting to try out the effectiveness of the Rubik's Cube Calculator, and also want to verify the claims on the Internet.

Real is real.

After many people went through the verification process, the public opinion on the Internet immediately changed, and all doubts almost disappeared.

Some influential organizations also came forward to express their opinions.

The first one to stand up was the Rubik's Cube Association. The Rubik's Cube Calculator is directly related to the Rubik's Cube Association.

The president of the Rubik's Cube Association issued a statement saying, "If the effectiveness of the Rubik's Cube Calculator is confirmed, we will use the Rubik's Cube Calculator in future competitions to determine that the minimum steps required for a scrambled Rubik's Cube are the same."

"This will make the game more fair!"

Next up is the program team of "Brain Bang". Program leader Zhou Fangsheng said in an interview, ""Brain Bang" will also use a Rubik's Cube calculator in future three-level Rubik's Cube competitions to ensure fairness."

at the same time.

Some experts and professors also stood up to explain the complexity of the third-order Rubik's Cube algorithm, saying that the Rubik's Cube calculator contains superb algorithms and is very helpful in deciphering the number of God.

This is fried rice.

There have been many reports explaining the significance of the Rubik's Cube Calculator. What many people want to know is whether the calculation results of the Rubik's Cube Calculator are perfect, that is, "whether all the calculated steps are the smallest steps" and "whether it can calculate all states." rubik's cube".

The next morning, big news emerged.

Professor Liu Hemin of the National Academy of Sciences announced that he and his team completed the simulation of 100 million random third-order Rubik's Cube states on a supercomputer, and obtained all the results using a Rubik's Cube calculator.

Although only a few thousand results were verified, all that were verified were correct.

In addition, they simulated a special third-order Rubik's Cube chaotic state, which is called 'superflip' abroad. In the Superflip state, the position of each magic block is correct, except that each edge block is flipped and reversed.

It was previously proven that the Superflip state cannot be restored by less than 20 methods, so the number of God is considered to be greater than or equal to 20.

Now using the Rubik's Cube calculator, the computer has cracked the Superflip state and obtained the most simplified twenty steps. No computer calculation is needed at all. The researchers can restore it manually, which directly proves the correctness of the results.

in other words……

After the advent of the Rubik's Cube calculator, the number of God in the third-order Rubik's Cube was almost as if it had been cracked.

This number is 20.
