Hello again, friends! Today I am in my wizard's lair mastering my new favorite puzzle toy, the Rubik's Cube. What an ingenious invention! Arranging these cubes to make solid color sides seemed almost impossible on my first attempt. But as the saying goes, "Nothing is impossible here in Toyland!" Today I am happy to report that I am solving the Rubik's Cube on an average of 10 minutes. That may not seem so impressive but bear in mind I hadn't relied on any magic! I hope to get my Rubik's Cube puzzle solving time down to 1 minute or less.
Rubik's Cube is a puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik. Originally, Rubik's Cube was only available behind the Iron Curtain. Back then it was known as the "Magic Cube." Fortunately, as the popularity of the puzzle spread, Rubik's Cube made the inevitable leap to the West where it made it's debut in 1980. Since then, the puzzle has taken the planet by storm becoming the world's best-selling puzzle toy with more than 250 million Rubik's Cube puzzles sold!
I'm so taken with the Rubik's Cube lately that some time ago I went to the Toyland forest and cast a spell over a small section of trees and transformed them into Rubik's Cube growing trees. I call it Rubik's grove. So far, I am happy with the results; the trees have produced an impressive variety of Rubik's Cube puzzles! I walked through the grove yesterday afternoon and picked a batch of the most interesting Rubik's Cube puzzles to bring to Earth and share with you.For Rubik's Cube beginners, I picked some puzzles before the ripened - so they are 2x2 instead of the ripened 3x3 full-grown Rubik's Cube. I' call them Rubik's Cube Jr. and Rubik's Ice Cube. These puzzles are perfect for learning how to flex your brain muscle and are a perfect introduction to mastering the Rubik's Cube. For those of you who fancy yourselves cube masters, I have a much tougher 4x4 Rubik's Cube and a massive 5x5 Rubik's Cube for the real wizards of brain-teasing puzzles! I even have the fascinating Rubik's Twist: a Rubik's Cube puzzle that's a sphere, a curve, and many other shapes. Rubik's Cube puzzles are poised to take over the world! If you don't believe me, have a look at the Rubik's World puzzle.
As the Rubik's grove flourishes, I'll be sure to share my favorite picks with you, my friends. For now, enjoy these exciting and challenging Rubik's Cube puzzles!
