Question

How did people figure out how to solve the Cube?

Answer 1

I don't know.

But like every boy in my school can solve one.

Answer 2

They didn't log onto yahoo answers and rather got things done.

Answer 3

Countless hours of experimenting.  It's a very difficult puzzle without much of a 'natural' feel; and I'll admit, it helps to be visually/spatially talented.  But it's possible to solve - if you spend enough time trying to figure out sequences of moves that only 'move' one block.
