One of the things that my iPhone has brought to my life is the ability to use it for a number of fun tricks. As an example, if I don’t have the answer to a crossword puzzle, I will just look it up, and then I will seem impressive and smart. Another great use for my iPhone was looking up how to solve the ever elusive Rubiks cube. Who has actually done it? This is a crazy little puzzle, but I found a cheat sheet online that I looked up through my iPhone.

The Rubiks cube was invented in 1974, and rumor has it that people spend hours on end trying to figure it out. It’s incredibly frustrating if you are getting nowhere, but there are also strategy guides available online that I used to my advantage. The strategy in using the Rubiks cube is to start by looking at the front of the cube to manipulate it. The strategy guide instructs you how to turn all of the nine different cubes in clockwise and counterclockwise motions so that you can begin to crack the puzzle and bring solid blocks of color forward. It’s easier than it looks, so try it for yourself and see!
