Rubik's Cube - A Perfect Brain-Twister

Books are good tools for learning. However, kids can sometimes find books rather boring that after they finish reading it, they just place it inside the shelf to accumulate dust, never to be read again. There is one toy however, which only costs a few dollars, but engages kids to think-not just plain thinking, but analyzing.
The rubiks cube online was designed by Erno Rubik in 1974 as a device to help young students learn and understand three-dimensional geometry. Little did he know that his little cube would soon become the world's best-selling toy; 35 million pieces having been sold since the start of its mass production. The Rubik's Cube is a cube with different colors on every flat surface. It is a game of algorithm and logic. The idea is to make each surface of the cube a solid color. This part is the most extremely challenging. A standard Rubik's Cube measuring 3X3 can present 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible scenarios, but there is ultimately one solution for all these scenarios.
What can a Rubik's cube possibly teach your child? Your child's first lesson, and one which he can use later in his life, is the virtue of patience. For a beginner, solving the rubiks cube online can take hours, weeks, months, or maybe even never, except if the person playing is a super genius. The world record holder by the way, who is also a super genius, is Yu Nakajima of Japan, completing the puzzle in just 8.72 seconds!
