Why I like the Rubik’s Cube

People make the impossible possible every time they solve this complex cube. With a couple of fancy twists and turns, one is able to configure it from 43,252,003,274,489,856,000^wiki different positions into the same solved state. It is an amazing feeling and I would know. My best time is 58 seconds.

Sure in the beginning I liked to show off. Actually I showed off quite a lot and got a whole crowd during lunch one time. But there’s more to just being able to solve it as I wanted to teach others how to do it as well. This guy wrote up his unique method of solving the cube which was pretty interesting. Many of my friends keep insisting on ‘algorithms’ and most of the internet describes steps using a weird methodology of U for up side clockwise or L’ for left side counterclockwise. Both of these were complete rubbish to me and after my first look at those I knew it was way too confusing. So I derived my own way of solving it but using these symbols to describe the turns. It originated from this site right here.

Now I am currently teaching my chemistry teacher how to solve it and I hope he is progressing. I am also willing to help many others that know me so just find me anytime. I received 15 free cubes from Zinch because they support my idea and I hope to teach a whole classroom full of kids how to solve one. That will be quite interesting.

So I can solve the Rubik’s cube, what’s the big deal right? Well every time I mention the cube, I am honoring Ernő Rubik’s name. That is a mighty big mark he left on history and he is still alive today. Well can the world hear me and know that?
