Chapter 301: Participating in the Cube Competition

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yuan Xiao looked at the size of the large Rubik’s Cube. Such a big gold nugget probably cost tens of thousands of yuan. Her eyes lit up even more. Even if her savings were abundant, who wouldn’t like to have more money?

Seeing how excited the two of them were, as if they had already pocketed the prize, the young man could not help but remind them, “The world record for the three-a-side Cube is only 3-47 seconds, and the average record is 4.86 seconds. Our record is only 0.01 seconds higher than the average record. It’s not something that can be broken casually.”

Yuan Xiao and Fang Yao also calmed down. Everyone knew the Cube’s formula, but more importantly was their hand speed in solving in.

Fang Yao glanced at Yuan Xiao’s hand. Perhaps she was very good at writing questions with both hands, but her hand speed might not be good. Hence, he took the initiative to volunteer. “Xiao Xiao, leave it to me.”

Yuan Xiao did not trust Fang Yao very much either. “Let’s find a place to practice first. We’ll decide who to compete then.”

Fang Yao felt that he was being looked down on, but he had indeed not played the Cube for a long time. He vaguely remembered that he had played it a few times when he was young, so he agreed.

“Can we take this away for the time being?” Yuan Xiao waved the Cube in her hand.

“Of course.” The young man agreed. After all, the Cube was not worth much.

Hence, Fang Yao and Yuan Xiao casually found a place. After a round of testing, the two of them fell silent.

Although they were very fast, it took them seven seconds. In fact, Fang Yao, who had vowed just now, took 0.5 seconds longer than Yuan Xiao.

With their hand speed, it would probably be very difficult to break through 4.87.

Yuan Xiao thought about the points and the Golden Cube. In the end, she could not bear to give up just like that.

She looked at Fang Yao’s dejected expression and rubbed his head. “We’re just not very familiar with it. We might be able to increase our speed after playing a few more times.

The good news was that the speed had indeed increased. The bad news was that they were stuck at five seconds.

Yuan Xiao felt that their hand speed had already reached the limit. Instead of thinking about how to increase their hand speed, it was better to think of a simpler Cube formula.

She took out the paper from her computer bag and began to calculate on it.

In fact, during the process of playing with the Rubik’s Cube, Yuan Xiao had discovered that it was closely related to mathematics. She had used permutations, inverse elements, cycle segments, and so on.

If it was treated as a spatial mathematics problem…

Soon, the entire white paper was filled, and Fang Yao was still fighting the Cube.

His speed had increased greatly, reaching 4-92 seconds, but he could not increase it anymore. He even reached 4-92 seconds by chance. His overall speed was maintained at about 4-95 seconds, but this was still far from the record.

Although there was only a millisecond difference, he might not be able to reach it even if he spent a long time.

Fang Yao was about to take a break when he saw that Yuan Xiao had already filled the entire piece of paper. As soon as he leaned over, he realized that Yuan Xiao had placed the pen aside.

Yuan Xiao’s eyes lit up. “Fang Yao, how many seconds is your highest speed now?”

“The highest is 4-92, and the average is 4-95,” Fang Yao answered truthfully.

Yuan Xiao’s eyes lit up even more. “I’ve already calculated an even simpler formula. As long as you follow my steps, your speed can be increased by a fraction of a second. If it’s even faster, you can even go under four seconds.”

Fang Yao was also very excited at this moment. He studied seriously. After a

few practices, his speed became faster and faster. The fastest time had already broken the mall record and reached 4-56 seconds.

“Your formula is indeed simpler than the formula I learned,” Fang Yao praised.

“The formula you used just now is already a formula from a few years ago. That’s why your speed has been stuck there.” Yuan Xiao was filled with confidence.

The two of them returned to the side of the competition. When the young man saw that they had returned so quickly, he thought that they were here to return the Cube. Just as he was about to take the Cube in their hands, he heard Yuan Xiao say that they were going to participate in the competition.

He was a little surprised, but he quickly restrained his expression. “The participation award is actually not bad. You can go up and give it a try.”

He did not believe that the two of them had already reached the level of breaking the record so quickly. He thought that they were just playing around.

Yuan Xiao did not explain further and directly helped Fang Yao register. At this moment, most of them were gathered here to watch the show. There were not many people who participated..
