Geocache Description:

It seemed simple enough. You would pick up the Rubik's Cube and turn it a few times. The goal was to make each side a solid color, as it was when you first took it out of the box. After a couple of hours, you realized you were mesmerized by the puzzle and yet no closer to solving it. Who Created the Rubik'S Cube? Erno Rubik is the one to praise or to blame, depending on how frustrated you got with the Rubik's Cube.

Erno Rubik was born on July 13, 1944 in Budapest, Hungary. Rubik combined the divergent talents of his parents to become both a sculptor and an architect. Fascinated with the concept of space, Rubik spent his free time while working as a professor at the Academy of Applied Arts and Design in Budapest designing puzzles that would make his students think in new ways about three-dimensional geometry. In the spring of 1974, just shy of his 30th birthday, Rubik envisioned a small cube, with each side constructed of moveable squares. By the fall of 1974, his friends had helped him create the first wooden model of his idea. Please interpurite the number on the cube to the best you can. N (u'1,f1,b'1,r1,l'1,f'1,d1)(r'1,f1,d1,u'1,f1,r1),(r'1,b1,r1,l'1,f1,l1,f'1),(r'1,f1,d1,u'1,f1,r1),(l1,r'1,b1,l'1),(r'1,f1,d1,u'1,f1,r1),(l'1,b1,l1,r'1,b1,r1) W (l'1,b1,l1,r'1,b1,r1),(r'1,b1,r1,l'1,f1,l1,f'1),(u'1,f1,b'1,r1,l'1,f'1,d1), (u'1,d1,r'1,f1,b'1,rotate up),(r1,l'1,u1,d'1,f'1,b1,r1,l'1),(u'1,r1,b1rotate down),(l1,r'1,b1,l'1)
