Day 36 - The Professor's Cube


It was 9th grade when I bought my first 3x3 Rubik's cube. I didn't really know much about it until I saw it in The Pursuit of Happyness (which is a great movie by the way) that motivated me to solve it. About a week or two of watching many YouTube videos and much frustration, I managed to solve it (very slowly though)!

After that, I moved on and left this behind, never to see it again until freshman year of college. That's when I had money to actually spend on toys, so I added the 2x2, 4x4, and 5x5 to my collection. Since then, they act as more of decoration in my room rather than a toy.

Now, I can't seem to remember how to solve them and is way too lazy to learn it all over again.

I did you know that there are "282 870 942 277 741 856 536 180 333 107 150 328 293 127 731 985 672 134 721 536 000 000 000 000 000 (or 282 trevigintillion ) possible permutations" for 5x5 cube? That's crazy!
