Typo request edit

For unknown reasons, the article is exempt from normal editing methods. Would someone please fix the typo in the "Permutations" paragraph (more specifically, its image explanation) where it says "corter" instead of "corner"?

Section "Period of move sequences" is not correct. edit

In this section, it states the maximum period of a move sequence is 1260. This is wrong. The maximum period of a move sequence is 2520. I can name many sequences, for example: U F' M R' D F2. This sequence was found using my own simulator. This can also be verified in https://mzrg.com/rubik/ordercalc.shtml CYang11 (talk) 07:08, 25 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Pedestal edit

Does anyone know when the pedestal (triangular stand) was first sold with the cube? Dhrm77 (talk) 14:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

The current world record of 3.13 is held by the USA's Max Park, who got the record on June 11 of 2023. The world record has changed a lot since the first record of 22.95 in 1982. The technology has also changed the original Rubik's Cube was made of hard to turn plastic and you could try to make it faster by putting chemicals that will temporarily allow it to turn faster by melting the plastic. Nowadays we have cubes that turn smoothly on their own and even have magnets in them. Who knows what innovation they will make next. D2-0n31 (talk) 16:27, 25 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

I wish to add the text "(Bűvös kocka)" Next to when Wikipedia says: originally called Magic Cube. Ex. It was originally called the Magic Cube (Bűvös kocka) HowBoutThatBoys (talk) 13:42, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: no reason given for the proposed change. M.Bitton (talk) 14:12, 10 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
The implied reason is obviously that "Bűvös kocka" means "magic cube" in Hungarian. And that probably that this is what some early releases were branded as in Hungary. However, this is the English Wikipedia, and that statement probably referred to what it was called in English speaking countries. Therefore the Hungarian translation is probably not needed.

Change the incorrect spelling of the word "practice" in the sentence "Many speedcubers continue to practise it and similar puzzles" in the paragraph just before the history section of the article. Collectioncard (talk) 07:53, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: The page includes the Use British English template. In British English practise is the verb form of practice, so the spelling is correct. Jamedeus (talk) 08:03, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
