Blog 1.1 Early Beginnings of the Rubik's Cube Saga
All my life I have viewed the Rubik's cube as the hierarchy of puzzles that would be impossible to crack. Over this first week, I have come to the realization that this is not the case! The videos I have found online are very descriptive and fairly easy to follow. Sure, there were a few steps that I was unclear on, but overall, the Rubik's cube has been a fun challenge. So far, I am able to solve the first side with ease, and can get two layers on top of that. This puts me two weeks ahead of my planning sheet! I think this will be fine though because the last sides will be the hardest part. Another thing I have come to find about the Rubik's cube, is that it is highly addictive. I constantly find myself playing with it to improve on the methods I have already learned. I can't wait to continue with my genius hour idea!
I love that you're enjoying the Rubik's Cube. Maybe you could start timing yourself to see how far you can get to certain spots on the Cube. Even though you can't solve it completely, being able to solve the first side faster would make your end result time even faster. Plus, this records progress and provides a challenge to make solving the Cube more fun. Racing against times to complete a side would add a way to compete against yourself. Have fun!!
