One solution.

Can you solve it? It’s been almost exactly 50 years since Hungarian professor of architecture Ernő Rubik invented the puzzle, in 1974, that captured the imagination of millions of people around the world. To date about 450 million of the colorful little cube has been sold and it is as popular as ever. Have you ever tried to solve it? It’s a deceptively simple object yet it can be frustratingly difficult to solve. According to his own admission it takes Mr. Rubik about a minute to do. The current world record is 3.67 seconds! That is just incredible! My time is embarrassingly slow, no need to put in writing.  If you don’t have it why don’t you buy one so you can be part of the millions of people who enjoy playing with it. I first learned to solve it in high school but still find myself playing with it when I am bored or stressed. I suggest you give it a swirl.            Alex
