FAQ

This page provides answers to frequently asked questions about Rubik’s Cubes.

What is a Rubik’s Cube?

The Rubik’s Cube is a 3D puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian architect Ernő Rubik. Each face of the cube consists of 9 smaller squares, with a total of 6 colors. The objective is to align each face of the cube to a single color.

What is the basic method for solving a Rubik’s Cube?

The basic method for solving a Rubik’s Cube is commonly referred to as the “LBL (Layer-by-Layer)” method. This approach involves solving one face first (usually white), followed by solving the middle layer, and finally completing the remaining layers.

What Rubik’s Cube do you recommend?

For beginners, we recommend a standard 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube. This is the most common type and is ideal for learning the basic solving techniques. It’s also a good idea to choose a model that offers smooth turns and durability. If you’re aiming for speed, magnetic cubes are highly recommended. The magnets help align the pieces with a satisfying click after each turn, making the cube easier to handle.

How do I maintain a Rubik’s Cube?

To maintain a Rubik’s Cube, it’s recommended to periodically disassemble the cube and clean the interior. Additionally, using specialized lubricants designed for Rubik’s Cubes can help keep the rotations smooth.
