Have you been playing a Rubik's Cube for hours but still could not get it off your hand? Now you can experience its irresistible charm online! In this game, your goal is to rotate the sides of the cube until each of the sides contains blocks of the same color. You will be given a cube which is built by multiple color blocks, and each of the sides contains 9 blocks.

You can click the arrows next to the cube to rotate, or click and drag the cube to change its orientation. Continue the process until each of the sides is composed of blocks of the same color, and you can win the game. The amount of time you have spent and the current number of moves are counted at the top left corner of the screen. Can you clear the mist with patience and logic?

The world has waited with bated breath for three decades, and now finally a group of academics, engineers, and math geeks have finally found the magic number. That number is 20, and it's the maximum number of moves it takes to solve a Rubik's Cube.

Discover how to solve the cube using only 5 moves in this short step by step video. Complete notation as well as an example of cube solving in under 2 minutes is included.

Known as "God's Number", the magic number required about 35 CPU-years and a good deal of man-hours to solve. Why? Because there's 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible positions of the cube, and the computer algorithm that finally cracked God's Algorithm had to solve them all. (The terms "God's Number/Algorithm are derived from the fact that if God was solving a Cube, he/she/it would always do it in the most efficient way possible.)
