The Rubik’s Cube was one of those toys that frustrated me over the year. It was one of those mind-numbing toy where you turn and turn but go no where thing.

Not sure what I was thinking but decided to watch a tutorial on YouTube, maybe I was bored, I don’t know. But after few hours, I was able to solve it comfidently in just over two minutes. Not too bad for something I thought was un-achievable in the past!

Here are some quick notes from the tutorial since I don’t really want to rewatch it every once a while but still want to keep the notes from what I learned.
