Thank you. Nit: It seems like Rubik's God's number would be better naming, because other puzzles would have different God's numbers..



True! I guess in this case the Rubik's cube enthusiasts first coined the term, and the question was most discussed and studied in that community, so for them the intended reference was still clear even though the concept had also been applied to other puzzles.
