Is the entropy of a solved Rubik's lower than that of a scrambled one?
>>

There is no difference

Like, entropy, or information entropy? If the former see previous post if the latter a well organized Rubik has 0 entropy because there is no information missing from the definition of a Rubik's cube to specify the whole state of the system.

So according to the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy of the cube always increases whenever you rotate one of the faces. So a scrambled cube has more entropy than a solved cube, but if you start with a new cube, scramble it up, then solve it, the entropy will actually be higher than it was originally even though the cube is in the exact same state!

Unless I put it in the oven.

>>8620756
yes, however the entropy in your brain has increased from all the thinking.

... you didn't think of a rubik cube as a closed system, did you anon-kun?

Why did you make this thread again?
