_______________
The ultimate solution to the Rubik's cube has come closer thanks to hours of number crunching on a supercomputer. The research has proved that a Rubik's cube can be returned to its original state in no more than 26 moves.

The supercomputer took 63 hours to crank out the proof which goes one better than the previous best solution.The two computer scientists behind the research project believe that with more work they could push the move count even lower.
