Rubik’s Cube, A Simple Guide

 Hi everybody, in lockdown we had to do a passion project.  For this we had to find out something we are passionate about.  We had a clear out of my room and I found my Rubik’s cube.  Earlier  in my life I had tried to solve it but failed.  I was bored in lockdown so I decided to give it another go.  We found an algorithm for it on the internet and tried to follow the instructions.  After fiddling around with it for 2 days we gave up on the algorithm.  We searched some more and found a video on Youtube.  This video showed me a step by step guide on how to solve a Rubik’s cube.  It was a very descriptive video.  After another day I had solved it.  I watched the video again and wrote down some instructions.  I printed out the instructions and I used them over and over again.  After awhile I managed to memorise the whole thing.  Now that I could solve the Rubik’s cube  without instructions I managed to get my time down to 1 minute 11 seconds.   I’m happy about my success.


The hard thing about solving the Rubik’s cube is the patience that goes into solving it the first time.  My favorite thing about it is the feeling when you solve it.


Have you ever come close or solved a Rubik’s cube before?
