The Rubik’s cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle (Wikipedia) considered to be the world’s best-selling toy.
Anyway, the Rubik’s cube is not just a game. It is something else. You are learning maths while having such a good time. Solving problems is a good way of improving your intelligence, it encourages you to keep going despite the odds and focus on what is important.
