Rubik's Cube: the Greatest Logic Puzzle in Digital Form
It will be difficult to find a person over twenty years of age who would not have heard of Rubik's (originally Magic) Cube. This square toy has lots of fans all over the world. This cube with differently colored segmented sides is usually given to a player with all tiles mixed up. The task is to return solid colors to its faces without cheating (yes, it is forbidden to re-paste the stickers). This toy has a single disadvantage: the size. The more segments the cube has, the larger are the sides, and the more place in your bag it occupies.
