iPhone Rubik Cube Solver Is Pure Genius

Ever sat around for hours trying to solve one of these things? We'll, the time has come to finally finish it... the easy way!

CubeCheater--a Rubik cube solver in 20 moves--is one of those iPhone applications that make you smile when you see it in action because it is simply pure genius. This is how it works.

• First you have to tell the app the state of your Rubik's cube.
• You can do this with two methods: Either painting the faces of the cube or, better yet, taking a photo of each of the faces.
• The program will analyse the faces and, after a few seconds, it will tell you the solution step by step, using a 3D interface.

I'm digging out my old Rubik Cube and getting this app just to have the pleasure to beat it 50 times in a row.

there's no satisfaction in cheating even if you can win 50 times over

Pretty neat if you intend on putting your cube back to its original state so it looks good as a paperweight again.
