 Blog 1.7 Rubik's Cube

    Welcome back to week seven of my blog! I love looking through everyone's blogs to see all the progress that has been made in our class! As I work on my project, I find myself gaining new knowledge and skills when solving the cube. I've never realized how difficult and complex this game is until I tried it out myself. It gets very frustrating at times when you do all these steps, and it doesn't come out right. I have had to learn to be patient with myself and realize that things take time. 

    This week I have continued to practice and relearn the algorithms. I strongly believe that each week I have made progress! As I have talked about in my past blogs, I'm not sure I will have the cube fully solved by the time our Ted Talks are given. My original goal was to have mastered the puzzle by this time, but I will have to rearrange my goal. I have been caught up in trying to familiarize myself with each step and the algorithms, I haven't realized next week is the last week of blogging! My new plan for the Ted Talk will be to explain what I have learned, the challenges that I've crossed paths with, and hopefully give you guys the urge to try this strategic game out yourself!

    This is Natalie. Honestly, I have no idea how people can do the rubik's cube. It is always impressive when someone can! Awesome job amd keep up the great work! Have you thought about putting a picture of your rubixs cube results?

    I have never been able to figure out the Rubik's cube and it is very challenging. It is amazing when someone can and I hope you are able to get it fully done by the Ted Talks. I agree with Natalie, would you be able to post pictures of your week by week progress, that would be interesting to see!

    This is Justin! Maddie this sounds very complicated and I know for sure, I would not be able to be patient with a little cube this long in the project. You are doing very great, just got to be better than Jack is what I'm asking. JK

    I've never been able to solve a Rubik's cube, and I've spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure it out. Is there a certain strategy to solving them? Like a formula or order of rotation that eventually gets the end result? I always see videos of people solving them insanely fast, or while skydiving, or holding their breath underwater, and I'm always amazed how quickly they can solve them.

 Blog 1.4 Rubik's Cube     Hey guys! This week I have spent a majority of my time trying to  critique the steps I have learned to solve the cube! As you know from my previous blogs, the first step in to create a daisy looking image on the upper face of the cube. Seems simple right? Actually, this step requires a lot of practice to properly form this figure. Along with all the practice I have done outside of class, I have learned how to preform the next step: fully solving the top, yellow face. This was very exciting for me, because the puzzle appears to be almost fully solved! Although I have completed this step, I will still need to practice resolving it throughout the week, because the algorithm is very long and complex.

      Hi guys! I'm so happy if you are  reading this, because I actually made myself a meal that was edible!  Drum roll please... I made a grilled cheese sandwich served with homemade chex mix. I know you're thinking a grilled cheese is the most easy and simple meal. However, in my opinion, this is a big accomplishment for me. If you read my cooking 2.0 blog, you would know I don't make my own meals.     Making a grilled cheese sandwich was a good first step for me. This week I  didn't face any struggles and challenges, so it gave me confidence in my cooking abilities! One time my mom made me this same sandwich and she forgot to take the clear wrapping off of the cheese. So technically, I'm already better than her.       My plan for this genius hour is to start small and grow each week. I'm well aware that I might make some gross dishes here and there, but it will be  important to not compare my success to other people's c...
