Solution Guide&lt;/a&gt; has been incredible! People are raving about how the solution guide has helped them accomplish the elusive goal of solving the world famous 3x3 Rubik&amp;#39;s Cube for the first time in their lives. Some critics or purists said the guide is a sort of cheat sheet and that&amp;#39;s no good. This is a very legitimate concern! In fact, the You &lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;CAN&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Do the Rubik&amp;#39;s Cube! team was concerned they were giving away the secret. But that&amp;#39;s not what happened! Because even with the official &lt;a href="http://www.youcandothecube.com/downloads/Solution_Guide.pdf" title="Solution Guide" target="_self"&gt;You &lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youcandothecube.com/downloads/Solution_Guide.pdf" title="Solution Guide" target="_self"&gt;CAN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youcandothecube.com/downloads/Solution_Guide.pdf" title="Solution Guide" target="_self"&gt; Do the Rubik&amp;#39;s Cube! Solution Guide&lt;/a&gt; solving the Rubik&amp;#39;s Cube is still a challenge!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What happens is the solution guide will show anybody how the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube works and what the turns will do on your way to solving the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube. But then, the solver has to remember those moves in order to get the full experience of solving the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube. This is a great motivator to keep working the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube. Naturally, the solver then begins to see short cuts or other algorithms to apply and learns how to solve the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube faster. Only then does a solver experience the true fun and challenge of the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So with over &lt;strong&gt;72,000 solution guides downloaded&lt;/strong&gt; from the &lt;a title="You CAN Do the Rubik&amp;#39;s Cube!

So I couldn&amp;#39;t solve the Rubik&amp;#39;s Cube when I was a kid. There wasn&amp;#39;t a You CAN Do the Rubik&amp;#39;s Cube program around back then! I tried once or twice and that was enough for me to be humiliated. I never picked it up again... until I was an adult. And I mean a middle-aged adult. Whatever that means?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyway, this time somebody shared some information about the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube that I wasn&amp;#39;t aware of, or not smart enough to figure it out on my own. With this little bit of knowledge, I was able to follow some instructions that were pretty old but supposedly effective in helping others solve the cube.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After reading the instructions over and over again, and a few several phone calls to my colleagues and others, I finally solved the Rubik&amp;#39;s Cube! I was so excited I showed my kids and my wife and ran around the house with joy!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then, after I calmed down, I cautiously mixed it up and did it again. I failed a few times, along the way, but I did solve it over and over again. What me and my colleague realized was that there was a better way to show people how to solve the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube. Once that was created, we began to test the new way to do it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And then something special happened - we realized how much fun it was to share the secret with others! Every time somebody solved the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube, we got excited all over again. It was the coolest thing to experience. And not only that, we actually witnessed people who solved the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube for their first time teaching other people how to solve it. It was contagious!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I still have fun teaching people how to solve the Rubik&amp;#39;s cube! There&amp;#39;s nothing like watching somebody think they can&amp;#39;t do something, and then showing them how to do it and watching them succeed. And along the way - there are so many other things happening! It can transform the relationships because it&amp;#39;s a rite of passage that&amp;#39;s happening right there before your very eyes!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pretty cool...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.youcandothecube.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=45" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.youcandothecube.com/blogs/stories/archive/tags/solution+kit/default.aspx">solution kit</category><category domain="http://www.youcandothecube.com/blogs/stories/archive/tags/program/default.aspx">program</category><category domain="http://www.youcandothecube.com/blogs/stories/archive/tags/beginner/default.aspx">beginner</category><category domain="http://www.youcandothecube.com/blogs/stories/archive/tags/excitement/default.aspx">excitement</category><category domain="http://www.youcandothecube.com/blogs/stories/archive/tags/share/default.aspx">share</category><category domain="http://www.youcandothecube.com/blogs/stories/archive/tags/teach/default.aspx">teach</category><category domain="http://www.youcandothecube.com/blogs/stories/archive/tags/experience/default.aspx">experience</category><category domain="http://www.youcandothecube.com/blogs/stories/archive/tags/solve+rubik_2700_s+cube/default.aspx">solve rubik's cube</category></item></channel></rss>
