Many Rubik's Cube Pattern

1) The document lists and describes various patterns that can be created on a Rubik's Cube, including checkerboard patterns of different orders, stripes, cubes within cubes of different levels, and various animal patterns. 2) It provides the number of quarter turns (q) and face turns (f) needed to create each pattern, with some patterns noted as being minimal in those metrics. 3) The document also lists other websites that contain additional Rubik's Cube patterns.

Rubik's Cube patterns

Here are some of my favorite patterns on Rubik's cube. Many of these are from Christoph Bandelow's Inside Rubik's Cube and Beyond. I have even computed all minimal maneuvers, using my optimal cube solver. * = minimal in the given metric
