puzzle, and the centers are manipulated with an algorithm similar to the one used in the 4×4×4 cube. A less frequently used strategy is to solve one side and one layer first, then the 2nd, 3rd and 4th layer, and finally the last side and layer. That is, like building a building. First the basement, then each floor, and finally the roof. This method is referred to as Layer-by-Layer. Similar to the beginner's method when you learn to solve the original Rubik's Cube, just with 2 added layers and a couple of centers. ABCube Method is a direct solve method originated by Sandra Workman in 2020. It is geared to complete beginners and non-cubers. It is similar in order of operation to the Cage Method, but differs functionally in that it is mostly visual and eliminates the standardized notation. It works on all complexity of cubes, from 2x2x2 through big cubes (nxnxn) and only utilizes two easy to remember algorithms; one four twists, the other eight twists, and it eliminates long parity algorithms. World records The world record for fastest 5×5×5 solve is 33.02 seconds, set by Max Park of the United States on 13 March 2022 in an official competition at Florida Big & Blind & Time 2022, in Orlando, Florida. The world record for fastest average of five solves (excluding fastest and slowest solves) is 38.42 seconds, also set by Max Park of the United States on 3 July 2022 in at BASC 34 - San Ramon 2022, in San Ramon, California, with the times of (41.15), 39.82, 38.46, 36.98 and (36.86).
