How to Solve a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube [VIDEO]

Noah Richardson explains and shows how to easily handle a Rubik's Cube. 

Though, intimidating at first, once you realize the simple algorithm and movements it takes to get one piece where it needs to go, you can master the cube pretty quickly.

The cube was invented in  1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor The cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik.  He originally called it the "Magic Cube."  As of January 2009, 350 million cubes had been sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game.
