Learn To Solve Rubiks Cube Puzzles!

My first Rubiks Cube was given to me when I was about 12 years old, way back in the 1980s.  This cute little cube with lots of colored stickers was something I tried to master time and time again.  In the end, I gave up.  The only way I could get the colors back where they belonged was to either peel the stickers off and replace them in corresponding colors, or to actually pull the cubes off and put it back together in the right order.

In short, I cheated.

But, I never lost my interest in the Magic Cube (as it was originally called).  It didn't help that my Great Uncle Bob could solve this puzzle in about five minutes.  I came to think that only geniuses (as my uncle certainly must be!) could solve a Rubik's Cube.

Turns out, I was wrong.  Did you know that there are certain patterns that, once learned, will allow anyone to solve the riddle of the Cube?

With the help of videos that I found on YouTube, I was (finally!) able to solve a Rubiks Cube.  How to solve a cube without cheating can be done, though there is more than one Rubiks Cube solution.

Don't think you can learn?  Then just watch this video of a three-year-old who solves the cube in less than two minutes:
