There are so many questions about the Rubik cube such as “Who invented this Rubik’s cube”? “Who can solve this”? and many other questions but the major question that people ask is “How do we solve the Rubik’s cube”? I am going to answer these questions. 
Before I do so, let me explain what is a Rubik’s Cube? It is a puzzle in the form of a plastic cube covered with multi-coloured squares, which the player attempts to twist and turn so that all the squares on each face are of the same colour.
This puzzle was invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and Professor of architecture, Erno Rubik. Originally, its name was the Magic Cube.
However, this puzzle was invented by Rubik, so from that day to this day it is called Rubik’s cube, meaning this cube is made by Rubik.
What is special is that after Erno Rubik after invented this, he took five months to solve it. If you ask this question from me I’ll say “everyone can solve this” because nothing is impossible in the world. If you learn the basics of anything you can grow step by step.
For example, think about the Ice Age. If Homo Erectus didn’t find fire, we won’t be able to use that fire. So, what I’m saying is that what you want to learn or study, you should try it and develop your faith.
There were so many people who solved the Rubik’s Cube, but the first person who solved it is Feliks Zemdegs. He took 4.22 seconds to solve the Rubik’s cube, but he tried 1, 367,254,963 times to learn this at his home.
Don’t lose your faith. Let me explain the structure of the original Rubik’s Cube. The original Rubik’s Cube has six faces. Initially, each face has the same colour, and each face has nine small outer surfaces. They are 54 outer surfaces in all. Every side of the Rubik’s Cube is composed of diverse colour pieces after the random rotation of different sides several times.
There are two types of puzzles, WCA puzzles and non-WCA puzzles. What are WCA puzzles? The World Cube Association (WCA) is the worldwide organisation that regulates and holds competitions for mechanical puzzles that are operated by twisting groups of pieces. Examples for WCA puzzles are, 3x3x3 Rubik’s cube, 4x4x4 Rubik’s cube, 5x5x5 Rubik’s cube, 6x6x6 Rubik’s cube, 7x7x7 Rubik’s cube, Pyraminx (Regular tetrahedron shaped cube and four colours), Megaminx (Regular dodecahedron shaped cube and consists of 12 colours), Mirror cube and others.
