📚Published in June 1981, ‘The Simple Solution to Rubik’s Cube’ by James G. Nourse became a sensation during the height of Rubik’s Cube mania. The step-by-step guide sold an estimated 6.68 million copies that year, making it the best-selling book of 1981

It's not actually that hard to solve. You just pop all the squares off and refix them in the right order.

I think I still have this book. Which is kinda funny considering I don’t still have a cube.

This is the only book that helped me. Several of my classmates would skip recess and I would show them what I knew. I wasn’t good at anything else 😂😂

The top selling toy of the 1980's wasn't GI Joe, or Barbie, or Transformers, or He-Man. It was the Rubik's Cube.

I can't deal with these things lol They give me a major headache

I had a copy of that.

Now, That's one thing I so cannot do.😂

This cover is most famous for introducing the Rubik's Cube to a mainstream intellectual audience in the United States. Scientific American Magazine- March 1981

Everyone should have a cube to fiddle with, solving it completely or not.

A Rubik's thumb. C'mon Brokaw.

This is the algorithm I memorized back in the early 80s, and still use. It’s not particularly efficient, and my best time is one minute 14 seconds. Thanks, Mr Nourse.
