The Rubik's Cube (not Rubrik) was a very successful puzzle toy in the 1980s when it came out on the market. However, this game did not only involve children and younger people but practically everyone, even the oldest ones, who went crazy trying to solve the puzzle, making each face of the cube have a uniform color. More than 350 million Rubik's cubes have been sold since it came out and is probably one of the most popular toys in the world.
Most people who have tried to solve the cube (and I too) have given up on the frustration of not being able to understand what the method was to succeed in solving the puzzle . Like all intelligence games, the trick is to discover the key to solving which then, if repeated with patience and constancy, ultimately leads to completing the puzzle of the cube.
The game consists of positioning the 54 squares of which the cube is composed to create 6 faces all of the same color.
