On Pi Day, the University of Luxembourg is organizing an online event around the Rubik’s cube for pupils – the Rubik Show. World record holder Sebastiano Tronto will show you how to solve the Rubik’s cube. During an international competition he managed to solve the cube with only 16 moves.
You will get-to-know some of the maths behind solving the Rubik’s Cube, how it works and see some impressive live demonstrations. Of course everyone is welcome to try it out yourself too! There will be the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the event. And Rubik experts will have a dedicated space after the end of the session.

If possible, a video of the event will be made available afterwards for the public. It will be linked here once available.
The event is organized by Prof. Antonella Perucca and Dr. Sebastiano Tronto from the Department of Mathematics (DMATH). It is supported by the DESCOM project, a science communication training project at the University of Luxembourg. The project and the Rubik Show are supported by the National Research Fund, Luxembourg (FNR) and the Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine (FSTM).
