Beschreibung

There is medical evidence that solving Rubik's cube is good to your health, but it is also fun. And you do not need to become a fast solver if you do not find that important. In this small book I show how you can solve the cube with minimal need to memorize things and I even explain how you can remember the moves more easily. Please bear in mind that you need to remember only four short series of moves in order to solve the cube. This is not overwhelming. Enjoy solving the cube! The Rubik's cube is like the life: There are no dead ends but always many solutions.

Summary of the solution method

Warning: This is not for speedcubers

You must have seen your grandchildren turn the Rubik’s cube with speed that defies the common sense: What is the hurry for? And after solving it very fast (the world record is around 5 seconds, which is insane), they scramble it again, and without taking time to enjoy the previous victory they set out for pursuing the next one.

One of your grandchildren claims to have solved the cube in under 20 seconds (others say he is lying because no-one was present when that happened end he has not been able to repeat that feat). The same kid defends his story, though, and backs it up by proudly reporting that he has memorized over fifty series of moves so he can after just one fast glance at the cube tell exactly which moves are the correct ones to complete the solution.

Over fifty series of moves! This cannot be true, why load your brain with such nonsense? You prefer remembering your relatives’ and friends’ birthdays. Your grandson has just proved that Rubik’s cube is just for kids: They have much memory capacity but little understanding about what to use it for.

What would you say if I explained to you that this with fifty series of moves does not have to be taken seriously. Four series of moves is all you need to remember (and one of them consists of just four moves). Yes! I repeat: You do not need to know over fifty series of moves, four is enough. I will tell you in this small book what they are.
