Ever since the Rubik’s cube was invented and first sold decades ago, it has spread worldwide like wildfire, till the stage where it’s now even considered an icon of pop culture. No matter if you know how to solve it or not, every single person instantly recognises this unassuming little cube.

Upon seeing it, some are continually dumbfounded by it, not knowing how others are able to solve it with such ease. Truth of the matter is, the rest of us who do know how to solve it are continually dumbfounded by why others don’t know how to solve it. The purpose of this blog post is really to let anyone reading this who doesn’t know how to solve a cube know, it is really easy to learn how to solve it.

I’m pretty sick of trying to convince everyone about how easy it really is. There are so many sites out there nowadays that provide instructions as to how to solve the cube, and a plethora of YouTube videos that try to do that as well. If you don’t know how to solve it but have always wished you knew how to, there really is no reason for not being able to do so. “Not having enough time” is a ridiculous excuse as well, as all it takes is a few hours to learn, then many, many more hours to perfect, because all you really need to do to perfect it is one thing: practice.

The Rubik’s cube has also been associated with “geek” culture, and with good reason as well. It’d be hard not to associate anyone who keeps walking around with a cube as not being a geek. What most people don’t realize is how addictive such an unassuming cube can be. Long after one learns how to solve it, the cube will keep him entertained for a really long time to come. Don’t believe me? Just consider how there were even classes in the past designed to help people get rid of their addiction to the cube.

Most people really don’t realize how significant the Rubik’s cube is, it’s much more that just a children’s toy or a simple puzzle. The simple fact that it has survived decades and still remains extremely popular despite the drastic changes in other areas of our culture speaks volumes by itself. Not many other objects or trends from that era can lay claim to a similar achievement in the 21st century, where computers and the media have taken over.There’s something about the cube that makes it seemingly irresistible to other trends in society and is really one of the few icons of pop culture that transcends all race, religion, language, etc.

Really, people do not realise the significance of this unassuming little cube.
