Bookmarked How to solve 3×3 Rubiks cube by Kev Quirk
Yesterday our 5yo complained from the couch ‘I’m never going to get this right again, there’s just too many options’ while holding up her 3×3 Rubik’s Cube up to me. In the evening I opened up my feedreader and found this guide. As a kid I never learned how to solve one of these. Usually I took a screwdriver to the thing in the end, prying loose a corner and then the entire thing, rebuilding it ‘solved’. But now decades on, maybe I can finally learn to solve it with our 5yo. Reading Kev’s blogpost it will be a month or two before we can see results.
That isn’t the aim of this guide. Instead, what I want to do is simply demonstrate how I break the process of solving the Rubik’s Cube down so that you can do it too.
