Ya right, That colorful cube that none of your smartest friends have figured out? Remember the first time you saw one? I’m guessing you got one side the correct color and didn’t get much after that. Then there are some of you that either broke it to figure out why it’s so hard or switched the stickers and figured that was the hidden trick. In fact there is no trick to the cube, there is actually a pattern.
U R Ui Li U Ri Ui L – WHAT is that you say? That is one of the last moves right before you taste victory. The actual last move is: Ri Di R D. I’m getting ahead of myself, let’s start from the beginning.

About 3 days ago I went out and got myself the famous Rubik’s Cube. I thought I’d be smart and search the internet for the solution. Ya right, a solution to a puzzle that has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 combinations and only 1 of those is the correct answer. The fact is, I didn’t need to search the internet. Rubik’s gives you a seven step booklet to help you out. Problem with the book is you need some smarts in order to read and understand what they’re trying to show you.

I have solved the cube probably over 10 times in the last three days. Each time I solve it I remember more and more of the steps to solve the cube. In the second paragraph I started with a bunch of letters. Each letter represents a side and the “i” represents counter-clockwise. My wife has caught me the last few days randomly saying “are you ree you are you you ree”. That’s how I say: R U Ri U R U U Ri. This is step 5 of the 7 steps to solve the Rubik’s cube.

Hopefully my little article has given you hope in your journey to solve the cube. After learning the tricks of the cube I’m a believer that Will Smith solved it on his own in “The Pursuit of Happyness”. Now go out there and buy yourself a cube.
