\"Puzzle<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll admit, I have never solved a Rubik\u2019s Cube. I have pulled the coloured square stickers off and put them back in an attempt to make it look like I solved it, but\u2026it was all a lie.<\/p>\n

The videos of the \u201csuper solvers\u201d then, in the Beyond Rubik\u2019s Cube exhibit at the TELUS World of Science—puzzlers who have deciphered the secret to the cube and are able to rearrange the squares at lightening speeds or in extreme conditions (like while sky diving!)—fill me with awe, and maybe just the tiniest bit of shame at my dishonest ways.<\/p>\n

\"Rubik's<\/a>
\nThe mesmerizing videos are not the only fantastic part of the exhibit though! As we have come to expect at TWoS there is plenty of hands on learning. My boys were thrilled with the giant Rubik\u2019s Cube they could manipulate via a scaled down controller, the magnetized shapes they could form into colourful polyhedrons, and a display that played the music of the cubes.<\/p>\n

\"Puzzle<\/a>
\nThere are also displays of Rubik\u2019s solving robots and countless versions of the puzzle in different shapes and styles\u2014it is a striking aesthetic. I spent a while ogling the jewel encrusted version. Yowza!
\nThe Beyond Rubik\u2019s Cube exhibit is a great chance to learn more about the boldly coloured puzzle that has found a place in many homes. If you are like me, you haven\u2019t really given it much thought, but the intricate game is a math tool and even an art piece.\"Puzzle<\/a>
\nPerhaps my favourite takeaway from the exhibit though wasn\u2019t in the exhibit itself. It sprang from a conversation with one of the scientist\/docents on hand: a brand new puzzle solving app on my phone! It takes picture of every stage of the puzzle and spells out how to move in order to solve it. A slightly less blatant version of cheating, but I\u2019ll take it!<\/p>\n
