Remember the Rubik’s Cube? Yes, the same old coloured six faced puzzle which took the 1980’s by storm. The most popular and
successful puzzle of all times with its 43 quintillion (43,252,003,274,489,856,000) possible permutations is not to be considered a mere toy.
The Rubik’s cube workshop will hold demos of Speed-Cubing, One handed Cubing, Blindfolded Cubing and many more such demonstrations. The participants
will also get a unique chance to understand the intricacies of solving a Rubik's Cube and would help develop one's own approach to tame this
mind-boggling multi-coloured monster.

You can expect many pleasant surprises at the workshop wink.
Question: I don’t know anything about the Rubik’s Cube, can I attend?
Answer: Yes, sure. It is your eagerness to learn to solve the Rubik’s Cube is all we demand. But knowing a little about the cube and having tried it
earlier will make the learning process easier.
Question: Do I need to have a very good memory to remember the algorithms?
Answer: No. We will try and keep the need to memorize algorithms as less as possible and rather focus on the logic behind the solution.
Question: I heard that solving a Rubik’s cube is all maths. I am not good at math. So will I be able to learn how to solve the cube?
Answer: In fact we are not good at math either. It doesn’t really matter.
Question: I haven’t registered/couldn’t register, so can’t I attend the workshop?
Answer: We will provide a Rubik’s Cube to each of the registered participants. But there is a limitation on the number of registered participants. So
all those participants who couldn’t be registered can get their own Rubik’s Cubes and join the workshop.
