Solving a Rubik's Cube sounds like a daunting task, +and that's what I thought when I started learning a little more than one year ago. + +But it's actually really easy unless you want to be able to solve a cube in like, 30 seconds. +You just need to remember some cases and algorithms to apply with those cases. It's a great mind exercise, +and overall really fun. After you get comfortable you can just play some music in the background +and solve your cube, maybe challenge yourself and try to be as fast as you can while solving it; or make +various patterns on your cube! + +![Indian flag pattern on a 3x3 cube](/images/cube_indianflag.webp) +![Japanese flag pattern on a 3x3 cube](/images/cube_japaneseflag.webp) +![Alternating colors pattern on a 3x3 cube](/images/cube_mosaicpattern.webp) + +I know I take extremely pretty pictures! + +## The Rubik's Cube is one of the most fun puzzles out there + +I love the cube. It's really fun, and you can just vibe with your cube. It's compact, you can take it anywhere, +and honestly a pretty cool party trick! Even if you don't like puzzles, I recommend you to try cubing. +It's fun, it's easy\*, and anyone of any age can enjoy it! + +If you want to learn cubing, I recommend [this video by J-perm.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ron6MN45LY) I learned to solve the 3x3 and the 5x5 cube +(the 5x5 is just a 3x3 with extra steps) by watching his videos. + +### I know you have a cube at home + +No you can't hide it. I know. Most of you guys have a cube at your home because of a reason or another. +I know I did, and I know many people do. Trust me, it's easy, it's fun. Pick that cube up, and follow this video. +Solve that cube. Trust me, you'll thank me later. + +--- +\* it's very easy to learn, you only need to remember some basic cases. But, the techniques the hardcore speedcubers use *are* somewhat hard to learn. +But you can have a lot of fun without learning those hard techniques! -- cgit v1.2.3
