Rubik's Cube

Rubik’s Cube and the Art of Joblessness

I’ve been fiddling around with a Rubik’s Cube for sometime now. Just because Will Smith solved one in few minutes in The Pursuit of Happyness doesn’t mean it’s an easy affair. It took me quite some time to figure that out.

I’ve always assumed that a slightly above average level of intelligence was the only pre requisite. Unfortunately, that’s not true OR I’ve grossly over estimated my level of intelligence! Last afternoon, I succesfully managed to get 4 faces right…then proceeded to dismantle all of them in order to get the other two right. Currently, I’m back where I started.

Normally, I’m not the kind of person who would look up ‘How to’ books/articles (mostly because I couldn’t care less) but I had to make an exception in this case. I’m amazed at the amount of articles out there. If you are the least bit interested in solving the Rubik’s Cube, you may want to look up the following links.

In all probability, the results will be pointless and time consuming like everything else I do…
