About this ebook

Rubik's Cube, invented by Ernö Rubik in 1974, is a intelligent, fun game, that was the world's best-selling game of the twentieth century, and is still in vogue today.
The original Rubik's Cube, or 3*3*3 Rubik, is a six-sided, six-color cube, cut by six slices, distributed on three axes of Oxyz coordinate system, yielding 27 (3*3*3) Rubik's pieces.
There are many ways to solve the standard Rubik's Cube, this book uses the pRubik procedure to solve it. The pRubik procedure consists of 3 steps, using 9 formulas, each consisting of a number of simple rotation steps. Of these 9 formulas, there are 2 pairs with 4 dual formulas, and 2 similar formulas, so actually only 6 independent formulas, therefore it's easy to remember the procedure.
The Standard Rubik has many standard variants which are variations on the pattern of Rubik's faces, on the Rubik's body shape, on distribution and direction of the cutting planes, on the shape of cutting surfaces, on the size of variants, and on the number of axes of variants. All of these standard variants can be solved using the pRubik procedure.
This book will sequentially show how to solve 36 simple standard variants including: Void 1, Potato Chips, Convex Concave, Sandwich 1, Coloured Corner, Red Cap, House of Science, Cylinder, Octagonal Prism, Void 2, Ball, Ball in Cube, C-Virus, Anis Star, Twisted Cube, House, Mirror Cube (Silver & Gold), Colour Cube (Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue), Fisher, Windmill, Mirror Fisher (Silver & Gold), Mirror Windmill (Silver & Gold), Fluffy, Pandora, Sandwich 2, Rainbow 1, Rainbow 2, Cube 2*2*2, Mirror Cube 2*2*2, Window 2*2*2, Megaminx 2*2*2, House 2*2*2, Mouse 2*2*2, Buffalo 2*2*2, Elephant 2*2*2, Cat 2*2*2.

Of these 9 formulas, there are 2 pairs with 4 dual formulas, and 2 similar formulas, so actually only 6 independent formulas, therefore it's easy to remember the procedure.

    The Standard Rubik has many standard variants which are variations on the pattern of Rubik's faces, on the Rubik's body shape, on distribution and direction of the cutting planes, on the shape of cutting surfaces, on the size of variants, and on the number of axes of variants.

    This book will sequentially show how to solve 36 simple standard variants including: Void 1, Potato Chips, Convex Concave, Sandwich 1, Colored Corner, Red Cap, House of Science, Cylinder, Octagonal Prism, Void 2, Ball, Ball in Cube, C-Virus, Anis Star, Twisted Cube, House, Mirror Cube (Silver & Gold), Color Cube (Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue), Fisher, Windmill, Mirror Fisher (Silver & Gold), Mirror Windmill (Silver & Gold), Fluffy, Pandora, Sandwich 2, Rainbow 1, Rainbow 2, 2*2*2 Cube, 2*2*2 Mirror, Window, 2*2*2 Megaminx, 2*2*2 House, Mouse, Buffalo, Elephant, Cat.

    The author hopes that readers will have an enjoyable time reading this book to learn and solve the above 36 Rubiks.

    Although the author has spent a lot of time and effort, but the book will probably have many mistakes, the author is looking forward to receiving comments from readers to make the book better and better. Would you please send comments to:

    Ernö Rubik

    According to Wikipedia, Ernõ Rubik was born in Budapest in a family whose father was an aircraft engineer at the Esztergom factory and his mother was a poet. He graduated from University of Budapest (Műszaki Egyetem) in 1967 as an architectural engineer, starting to study sculpture and interior architecture.

    1.2 Some milestones of Rubik's history

    From 1971 to 1975, Erño Rubik worked as an architect, then became a professor at Budapest College of Applied Arts (Iparművészeti Főiskola). A teaching tool, called Magic Cube, built to help students understand 3D objects, with the aim of solving the structural problem of moving parts independently without breaking the whole object.

    In 1975, Rubik applied
