The original Rubik's cube was a mechanical 3×3×3 cube puzzle invented in 1974 by the Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Extensions of the Rubik's cube have been around for a long time and come in both hardware and software forms. The major extension have been the availability of cubes of larger size and the availability of the more complex cubes with marked centres. The properties of Rubik’s family cubes of any size together with some special attention to software cubes is the main focus of this article. Many properties are mathematical in nature and are functions of the cube size variable. (Wikipedia).

Impossible Rubik's cube balance
We are back trying to do the impossible with Rubik's cubes. Today's challenge is to balance a Rubik's cube on one of its corners on a fingertip. If you've done it all, 13x13x13, blindfolded, under 10 seconds, and so on, why not give this a try? Also, check out the "reveal video" at https

Another nice pattern on the Rubik's Cube. Well, actually, there is a flaw in it, but you'll see... The nice thing about these patterns is, that they are construced out of basic algorithms like flipping four edges, exchanging four edges, and so on. So you can memorize them easily just by r
