Learning to Solve the Rubiks Cube
So I was at the lake this summer and I found a Rubik’s Cube in the cabin we were renting. The cube I found was the standard cube which I found in the local Target store for 9 bucks. I was frustrated figuring the cube out, as I’ve always wanted to solve the cube.
It took me a week to finally figure out the cube. Then I worked to try and solve the cube in under ten minutes. I saw all these kids solving the cube on Youtube and of course they did it in a few minutes and some in seconds. Crazy, and I didn’t want to solve it that fast — just solve it. I did finally get it solved in under 8 minutes, but that was the limit it seemed.
Then I read about speed-cubing online and began watching these amazing kids solve their cubes lightening fast. Love it. I’m a little kid at heart for sure. I noticed that these kids used Rubiks Cubes that kits. These kits are ordered from a web site called Cube4You, and I order a couple of black cubes. They come from China so it takes some time to get them.
They come in a plastic bag full of plastic bits, stickers, screws, washers, and springs. Once you have your first cube put together, you’ll love it. You can speed-cube with these DIY cubes. Once you have a DIY cube all assembled and tensioned properly, you will begin cubing much faster. This is where the fun begins. If find cubing very relaxing because it keeps my mind off stressful things, and it keeps my mind sharp. Highly recommend picking yourself up a Rubiks Cube and be a kid again.
