My solution was strongly influenced by conversations with Jeff Varasano, back in the early 80's when the cube was still popular...</p> <p>This solution is optimized for <b>visual speed</b>, because the slowest part of solving the cube is not making the moves, but locating the pieces to place. Hence it is very color oriented, using easy-to-spot patterns instead of more difficult questions most solutions normally require, such as 'where is the correct position for this corner relative to its center pieces?'</p> <p>With a good cube, I was averaging (in 1981) 26 seconds over 100 attempts. Today, with a bad cube and out of practice, I would probably average around 45 or 50 seconds. </p> <p>The strategy is as follows: </p> <ol> <li>Get the top X (all corners) in any position </li> <li>Solve the bottom X (all corners) </li> <li>Move all corners (top & bottom) into the correct position simultaneously </li> <li>Fill in the edges on one side, except for a keyhole (one missing piece) </li> <li>Fill in the edges on the opposite side </li> <li>Replace the keyhole. The top and bottom are now completely solved. </li> <li>Position the remaining edges (middle slice) </li> <li>Orient the remaining edges </li> </ol> <p>In the illustrations accompanying this page, I've selected the color <font color='#0000ff'>BLUE </font>as the target color when possible, so that is the color you should pay attention to unless otherwise indicated.</p> <p>During this solution, I've included instructions for both the expert cubist (fastest possible solution, but requires lots of memorizing), or for the beginner (memorize only four easy patterns to solve the whole cube, but takes much longer).</p> <p><img src='/rubiks_files/rule10.gif' height='22' width='468'></p> <h2>Notational Help</h2> <p>These are the symbols used in the moves described below.

(fastest) patterns come from? Did they just miraculously appear in someone's head? If I don't like the patterns you gave, how can I make up my own?'</p> <p>The strategy for making up new patterns is very simple: </p> <ul> <li>Use the above patterns to start with the top and bottom X completed. </li> <li>Now make some arbitrary moves that remove one or more corners from the top X, and then puts them back differently so that the top X is restored. Write the moves down on paper as you go so you don't forget them. </li> <li>In all probability, doing this has now 'messed up' the bottom X. Well, if you look at the resulting 'mess', you now have a new move for solving that particular bottom X configuration: just reverse the moves you did to get it like that. Write it down and move continue until you have patterns for all bottom flip combinations! </li> </ul> <p>You might ask: how do I know that the list of possibilities for bottom X configurations listed above is complete? Well, on the cube (according to group theory), it is not possible to flip only a single corner -- other corners are implicated. The two minimal flip possibilities are: three corners flip in the same direction (e.g. clockwise or counterclockwise), or two corners flip in opposition directions (one clockwise, one counter). So, given that four of the corners are guaranteed to be correctly flipped (you already have one X), the resulting positions are everything you can do using these two minimal flip primitives.</p> <p>Similar logic and rules apply to moving corners, as well as positioning and flipping edges, all of which we will see very soon...</p> <p><img src='/rubiks_files/rule10.gif' height='22' width='468'></p> <h2>All X's</h2> <p>Now that we have a top and bottom X, count the number of <b>pairs </b>along the top and bottom edges of the cube.

The focus of this application is on resolving the many ambiguities that arise through natural language and multiple modalities, using the power of the distributed, parallel architecture provided by OAA.</p> <ul> <li> <p>Video (1994 version: real estate). <a target='_blank' href='/videos/pave.wmv'>WMV: 7 MB</a></li> <li> <p>Video (1994 version: travel planning). <a target='_blank' href='/videos/sfmap.wmv'>WMV 3 MB</a><br> </li> </ul>" }, { "year":"1995", "image":"/images/adt.gif", "title":"Agent Development and Runtime Tools", "html":"<h3>Agent Development Tools</h3> <p align='center'> <img border='0' src='/images/adt.gif' width='282' height='215'> <img border='0' src='/images/demo-a6.jpg'> <img border='0' src='/images/demo-a7.jpg' width='282' height='232'><br> Agent Development Tools, Start-It runtime management, Monitor debugging tool</p> <p>A number of development and runtime tools are provided with OAA.

Current application interfaces can be very complicated, forcing users to navigate through extensive menus or conform to structured query rules to accomplish even the simplest of actions. With Dejima Direct Control Center, Independent Software Vendors and service providers can enable their customers to access 100% of application functionality in a single step, using their own words. <p> Industry experts estimate that as many as 50% to 80% of Enterprise applications fail. More often than not, the reason is the end-users' fear of complex interfaces and an unwillingness to learn how to navigate them. Dejima Direct Control Center frees users from complexity by empowering them to simply ask for what they want: 'show bill's active mid-west accounts', 'Log a call with John at Superior Manufacturing', 'change my password'. Such ease-of-use results in the rapid expansion of a user's comfort zone, enabling them to fully embrace the power of the application. When users can exercise more functionality faster, product evaluation periods are shortened, employees become more productive, and customer loyalty increases. <p> Dejima Direct Control Center integrates seamlessly with new and existing applications, without removing or significantly altering the existing interface elements that current users have become accustomed to and future users expect.

After watching more than 140 virtual magic shows, Adam has identified key aspects that make up a great online magic show. To highlight each of these, he created the "Adam Awards", honoring magicians we can learn from who Adam feels are doing a particularly fine job at solving the challenges presented by the online format. </p> <p>The Adam Awards were originally created in June 2020 (V1). In March 2021, Adam made some updates (V2). <h3>Adam Award for Best Instructions</h3> <ul> <p>Every online show seems to start out with an obligatory instructions session: how to work the mute/unmute button, whether to turn video on or volume off, how to provide feedback, how volunteers are to be selected, and so forth. Our winner for this category solved this problem by using a concise, carefully produced video that provided clear instructions and a detailed screen demonstration so there is no room for confusion. Bonus points were added because our magician also cleverly tied the video instructions into the show's magic later on in a surprising way. </p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://www.psych-artist.com/cyber">Colin Cloud, Cyber-Mentalist show</a>. </p> <p>The V2 award winner is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.vinnygrosso.com/">Vinnie Grosso</a>, with a hilarious airline-base comedy intro.</p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Introduction</h3> <ul> <p>Joshua Jay, in his excellent talk on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/blog/magic-by-numbers/">Magic by the Numbers</a>, proved experimentally that a powerful introduction can increase audience appreciation and retention of the same act by up to 50%! For this reason, I believe every magic show should have a brief but compelling introduction, with a third party introducing the selling points of the magician. Our winner in this category opens his act with a slick promo clip that heightens the anticipation of what the audience will see, and then transitions smoothly from the intro right into his show, without losing a beat.</p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://www.psych-artist.com/cyber">Colin Cloud, Cyber-Mentalist show</a></p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Use of Space</h3> <ul> <p>Virtual magic shows seem to take far longer than their real-world equivalents, an effect which I attribute primarily to "frame fatigue": staring at the same talking head in the same position for 45 minutes can become tiring, no matter how entertaining the patter and magic presented. The antidote to this is to frequently break up the "look". Our winning magician does this effectively by frequently transitioning from closeup tricks to full-fledged stage illusions, moving seamlessly between two very different scenes in his show.</p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://www.alexramonmagic.com">Alex Ramon</a> (V1)</p> <p>The V2 award winner is: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.geffenplayhouse.org/shows/the-future/">Helder Guimaraes - "The Future"</a> for his innovative use of his theater set as part of the magic story.</p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Audience Connection</h3> <ul> <p>Connecting with the audience through distance and a pane of glass is a challenge, particularly when the magician has so much to deal with: managing props, gauging audience reactions, selecting volunteers, and so forth. Frequently, the magician will be looking at their screen, not directly at the camera, and every second away from focusing on the audience weakens that all-important connection. Our winner not only peers right into the camera, he literally smiles with his eyes through the screen, imagining that he is performing for just a few close friends or loved ones within a few feet of him. The effect to the audience is stunning and palpable, you must experience this for yourself. </p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://mentalmysteries.com/online/">Paul Draper</a></p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Audio/Music</h3> <ul> <p>Audience members may forgive an occasionally grainy video, but clear audio is essential for an impactful performance. In addition, music can greatly enhance the emotion associated with an effect. However, with online shows, these are both huge challenges, as the video conference software often tries to be "smart" in filtering out background noise, etc. Managing consistent and clear audio levels, especially when mixed with background music, rarely seems to be done well in the online world, yet putting in extra effort in this regard can have huge payoff to making the show compelling and exciting. Our winner skillfully manages this in both closeup and stage settings, transitioning smoothly (with music) between the two.</p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://www.alexramonmagic.com">Alex Ramon</a>. Runner up: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ackerly-entertainment.com/">Phil Ackerly</a></p> <p>The V2 Award winner is <a target="_blank" href="http://michaelcarbonaro.com">Michael Carbonaro - "Live from Space"</a>. He used energetic and relevan music throughout, and then made the music a bonefide character in the show with the creation of the amazing Fiddle Faddle Band! </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Set</h3> <ul> <p>Durng the COVID crisis, you are probably filming your magic show from your house, but it doesn't cost a lot to hide this fact from the audience. I've attended expensive virtual shows where it felt like the magician was performing from their bedroom -- no excuse! Our winner uses a very simple setup, with a background curtain to make his set feel like a theater, and an uplight to add a splash of color in a subtle yet elegant way. His camera is crystal clear, and he has the ability to step back for stage magic, and easily approach for closeup work, all the while looking directly into the camera to never lose connection with the audience.</p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lawrencehass.com/">Lawrence Hass</a></p> <p>Our runner-ups include <a target="_blank" href="https://www.psych-artist.com/cyber">Colin Cloud</a>, whose set and lighting perfectly complement his "Sherlock Holmes" persona, and <a target="_blank" href="https://kevinblakemagic.com/virtual">Kevin Blake</a>, who performs in an actual (empty) theater, to really make it not feel like his bedroom. </p> <p>The V2 Winner is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scottsilven.com/">Scott Silven - "The Journey"</a>, a show with incredible production values using lighting, projections on walls, camera angles, and a specially constructed conferencing system that took the experience to another level. </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Energy & Pace</h3> <ul> <p>One of the most disconcerting things for a magician who is used to live performances is to do a show as the only person in the room. One who used to thrive off the audience energy and feedback is now left staring at a muted screen with people silently gesticulating their appreciation. It is essential as a magician to keep up your energy, confidence and pace, as if you have just received a standing ovation in front of a stadium filled with cheering fans -- if you are not excited, how is the audience going to be? Our winner in this category never lets his enthusiasm wane, and he keeps his performance crackling with energy throughout the whole show.</p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://strongentertainment.com">Robert Strong</a></p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Thinking out of the Box</h3> <ul> <p>Faced with the new constraints of an online medium, many magicians are struggling to adapt their classic material in a way that will show well for their remote audiences. However, a few magicians have truly embraced the opportunity of the situation, and have started to explore magic that would be impossible in the real world. Our winner showed that he was truly thinking out of the box when he shocked magicians with a new "perspective effect" that perfectly leveraged the virtual frame in which he was enclosed.</p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/card-magic-downloads/sharemagic-live-2020/">Danny Garcia at ShareMagic</a></p> <p>The V2 winner is <a target="_blank" href="https://adrianlacroix.com/">Adrian Lacroix</a>, who created so much innovative magic this past year specifically for zoom (without using special technology filters) </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Mixed Media Magic</h3> <ul> <p>Using "special effects" is a controversial topic for magicians, but in this very virtual world we are forced to live in, I believe that camera tricks can be as amazing and fooling as "real" magic, and a nice complement if used properly. With his virtual show, our winner does not hide the fact that he sometimes uses camera tricks, and in fact he challenges the audience to determine if an effect is "real magic" or not. For pushing the boundaries of Mixed Media Magic...</p> <p>the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zSXw1_3Z-Q">Simon Pierro, World Wide Wonders show</a></p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Virtual Foolery</h3> <ul> <p>When you think out of the box and target specifically the online medium, you can do things that are truly fooling (at least to me). I've spent far too many hours trying to determine how this performer is doing what he's doing, so I've decided to add a category specifically for the magician who has most gotten into my head with his for-camera-only effects.</p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8LBkdRmuR8">Shin Lim, "Magicians Face Off" series</a></p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Reactions</h3> <ul> <p>As David Blaine taught us so powerfully with his TV specials, watching audience reactions to magic greatly enhances the emotional response of the audience. So how can we best do this in the virtual world? Check out how compelling it is to watch the reactions to our winner in this category.</p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/video/live/urn:li:ugcPost:6682738927792717824/">Sanjeev Vinodh</a>! (In the video, start watching from minute 3)</p> <p>The V2 Winner is <a target="_blank" href="https://www.realitythief.com/">Brad Barton</a>, whose signature trick turns an entire household upside down in amazement...</p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Offline Interaction</h3> <ul> <p>Complementing a virtual show with an additional real-world component can level-up the excitement and the impact of the event. A good example is Helder Guimarães' "The Present", an online show where you are mailed a mystery box in advance. Helder's show is sold out for many months coming. Our winner in this category did something even more impactful for me: I was asked a week ahead of time to choose one of my own decks of cards, shuffle them, sign a few according to a procedure, seal in a fedex envelope, and then sign the sealed envelope as I mailed it. I can't tell you how engaged I was when I saw my personal deck and my signature being used for an amazing effect on the other side of the pane of glass. The anticipation all week of what would be done with it heightened the experience considerably.</p> <p>And the award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://therosenkranzmysteries.com">Ricardo Rosenkranz</a></p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Theatrical Performance</h3> <ul> <p>After watching 140+ shows, a magician just showing trick after trick gets old, especially as there is so much overlap of material across magicians. What makes a magic show stand out for me now, is someone who has really mastered their persona, and where there is a story line that people care about first, with magic effects supporting the storyline.</p> <p>We had some amazing candidates in this category, including Scott Silven's the Journey, Richard Preston (Stuart McDonald) in Cocktail Capers, Helder Guimaraes' The Future, Rick Seedman in Wild West Card Show, Trapped, Michael Carbonaro's Live From Space, and Lucy Darling</p> <p>And the (V2) award goes to... <a target="_blank" href="https://www.hpherald.com/arts_and_entertainment/theater/magician-jon-tai-explores-missed-connections/article_c709b21c-6f95-11eb-86dc-6f61c9707010.html">Jon Tai - "Missed Connections"</a></p> </ul> <h3>Adam Award for Best Overall Online Performance</h3> <ul> <p>The biggest award is saved for last... I have not seen every show out there, but from my experience so far watching many shows from March-June 2020, this performer has best met the challenges of the online medium, skillfully integrating many of the aspects above that I consider to be elements of a great virtual show.
