The Fascinating Inner Workings of a Rubik's Cube

🧩A Rubik's Cube is a 3x3 puzzle made up of 26 tiny cubes with six fixed center pieces and movable edge and corner pieces.

🔺The cube's edge pieces have two colors each, while the corner pieces have three colors.

🔀The cube's movement is based on internal tabs and curved tracks that allow the pieces to rotate and slide.

✨Solving the Rubik's Cube involves seven stages: white cross, white corners, middle layer, yellow cross, yellow edges, yellow corners, and final alignment.

🔍To solve the cube, you need to learn specific algorithms for different moves and rotations.
