The Curse of the Rubik's Cube

I wake up from my long pleasuring sleep to my mother. She's waking me up for school. I sit up, and the object is visible in the corner of my eye. Multicolored and complex, yet simple once understood.

The object is my Rubik's Cube.

I don't know why, I've just taken to a liking for this little cube of color. Sometimes it seems like the hardest toy in the nation, and then there are those "Aha!" moments when I understand that turning this way and that swaps these two colors. But there are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 ways for a cube to be configured.

But there is a way to learn to solve the cube every time. And once practices it can be accomplished in five minutes. Yes, it's possible for YOU to do it. No kidding.

Just go to this site. It's has step by step videos with Tyson Mao, a Rubik's Cube wizard. And once you've aquainted youself with this "cheat code," you can test your wits on the online version.

OK, enough with Rubiks. Now just do it. Or else. Just kidding. Bye. Hi. What am I doing? AHH! OOH! OgoshIgottagonow...
