You can solve a Rubik's Cube

One of the most challenging popular puzzles is the 3x3 Rubik's Cube. I remember trying to solve a cube when I was little. I would try for an hour or so, and then I'd get mad and put it away, promising myself that I'd never fool with it again. Of course, I'd pull it out some other time and try again . . .



It may seem nearly impossible, since it has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible states. But solving it is actually not that hard.

This website, Nerd Paradise ~ 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube, has a fairly simple step by step method for solving the cube. You can memorize the steps in this method in just a few days.


Then you'll be the life of any party, and you could win lots of bets.

I was a Rubik's wiz in Jr. High. We had a contest during lunch one day...I think I solved it in 2:39.

Funny - I was going to blog about this soon!
