Apr 19, 2010 at 19:08 comment added Paul Siegel Would you happen to remember which Scientific American article?
Dec 2, 2009 at 12:55 comment added José Figueroa-O'Farrill I got interested in group theory from an article about Rubik's cube in Scientific American when I was in school. I think I learned the concept of "conjugation" from that article, actually.
Dec 2, 2009 at 3:57 comment added Harrison Brown Hey, I solved the Rubik's cube the first time by using group-theory considerations. It took me about 20 minutes to solve a cube. (Then I learned an actual method.)
