Rubik's Cube


A cloudy day of having no actual obligations was offset by trying to solve the most popular toy ever made, The Rubik's Cube which was kindly given to me by my friend who defaulted on that matter.
I got started by looking for some simple tips on the Internet, just to get me started.

I found out that the simplest, now that I think of only way to solve it is by going to three layers solving each of them respectively. There is an algorithm for each level and as you go on, they get heavier, have more moves and are more complex to solve, because of the limited amount of movement.

The first layer I solved quite fast because it is the simplest, but the second one gave me quite a ponder but I got the hang of it soon enough. A for the third level, I start to think that it is impossible to solve. After numerous attempts, which all got me on the very begging of the puzzle, I went on the Internet and found out that the algorithm to move cubicles on the last layer contains somewhat 16 moves, which is scary, so I am starting to doubt my abilities.

Well, at least it is getting me thinking and sharpening my mind. I will give it another try today, since there is nothing in particular to do, except I am cooking vegetarian eggplant lasagna, mmmmm.
