C
Cage Method: Per Kristen Fredlund's method
for 4x4x4.
Calendar Cube: a
custom Rubik's cube that can be used as a calendar. download
face templates at the custom cubes page.
Case Cube: Elongated Fisher Cube. Invented by
Tony Fisher.
Center Ball: Three-grooved sphere that can be
found inside a Rubik's Revenge. Holds the center pieces in
place, also, found in the pyraminx.
Center First Method: solving bigger cubes in
which the center pieces are solved first.
Center Piece: piece of the Rubik's Cube
located in the middle of each face.
Center Sphere: Center Ball
CF(corner frist): This solution method is
designed to solve Rubik's cube quickly, efficiently, and
without having to memorize a lot of sequences
CFOP: (abbrev.) Cross-F2L-OLL-PLL
Christoph Bandelow:
wrote the book, "Inside Rubik's Cube and Beyond"
Christoph's Jewel: This
is a regular octahedron, of which each triangular face is
divided into 9 identical smaller triangles, three to a side
Chromo Ball: This
puzzle is a ball with 30 tiles on its surface, which are
arranged in three intersecting rings, in the same way as the
Equator and Mozaika puzzles
CLL: Corners of Last Layer. Set of algorithms
to orient and permute the last layer corners in one step.
Color scheme modifiers: Algorithms used to
reduce the number of stickers that needed to be switched to
change a color scheme of a puzzle
COLL: Set of algorithms to orient the permute
the last layer corners in one step without disturbing the edge
orientation
Combination:
I think the term defines itself. The Cube has
43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different possible configurations.
Commutators: Algorithms of the form XYX'Y'
Computer Cube: Cube applets on computer.
Conjugate: Algorithms of the form XYX'
Conjugate Notation: Bracket notation used to
concisely write down conjugates.
Container: The Container is a Skewb mod
produced by Tony Fisher (puzzle)
Corner-Edge Parity: Whether a double
transposition of corners and edges is needed on a blindfolded
solve. If there is, it is resolved in the beginning with a
single face turn or during or at the end of the solve with a
PLL. All cube states either have or do not have this. Any
single face turn will change the parity.
Corner First: Method of solving the cube in
which the corners are solved first, and then the edges.
Corner
Piece: The pieces of the
cube that are the corners of the whole cube.
Corners of
Last Layer: the corner
pieces of the last layer.
Cross:
The orientation and permutation
of edges of the first layer. First step in most LBL methods.
Cube: Rubik's cube.
Cube-21:
Also, called Square-1. This puzzle is a cube consisting of
three layers. The top and bottom layers are cut like a pie in
8 pieces; 4 edge pieces and 4 corner pieces, 30 and 60 degrees
wide respectively. The top and bottom layers can rotate. The
middle layer is cut in only two halves along one of the lines
of the other layers. If there are no corner pieces in the way,
you can twist half the cube 180 degrees so that pieces from
the top and bottom layers mingle
Cube Art: art work
made using the Rubik's cube
Cube Fool: another
term from a cube addict.
Cube Group: The
group generated by U, D, R, L, F, B. All legal positions of
the cube.
Cube Lube: Liquid
silicone-based lubricant, used on the Rubik's cube.
Cubie: individual
cube pieces.
Cuboctahedron:
Rubik's Cube with 8 corners cut up to the midpoint of each
edge.
Cuboid: Rubik's type
puzzles in shape of rectangular prism (but not cubes). For a
puzzle to be considered a cuboid, it must be fully-functional,
meaning that all slice can be turned. Extended puzzles such as
extended 3x3x5 are not considered cuboids
Cuboid Transformation:
Method for transforming regular cubes into cuboids
Cubology : The
science of Cubes.
Cubologist: One who
(seriously) studies Cubology
Cycle: A method of
memorizing the permutation of pieces in a cycle in blindcubing.
