What is the Rubik's Cube Club

We teach all who wish to learn to solve the Rubik's Cube. We also learn faster ways to solve it.

It's important at any age to keep the brain chugging away on new and challenging exercises. Now that I'm in my sixties, close to seventy, it's more important than ever to recharge and, yes, regenerate brain cells. New evidence reported recently in Scientific American:

• Thousands of new cells are generated in the adult brain every day, particularly in the hippo campus, a structure involved in learning and memory.
• Within a couple of weeks, most of those newborn neurons will die, unless the animal is challenged to learn something new. Learning—especially that involving a great deal of effort—can keep these new neurons alive.
  

The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974  by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube", the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toy Corp. in 1980 and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy

God's Number is 20

No matter how mixed-up it is, the Rubik’s Cube can be solved in 20 moves or fewer, say a team of researchers who used computer time donated by Google to run complex algorithms to prove it.

That means all the 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 positions of the Cube require no more than 20 steps to get the Cube in shape.
