To learn to do a Rubik's cube, I cheated. I just memorized algorithms and how to turn to get pieces to certain places with a guide I found online. And after playing with it for a while it got to the point where I could do it in under a minute.
People would always be so impressed but the truth is....I have no ******* idea how the math behind the cube works. I just went online.
Rubik's cube is not as difficult as people think. With a bad instructor guide written in very poor english, I learned to solve it without help within 24 hrs. And whoever that is not retarded can probably do that as well.
