Today I want to share with you some thoughts I had on the Rubik's Cube and what makes

Now this is a new kind of video for me, so please let me know what you think in the comments

Have you ever wondered why a Rubik's Cube is so hard to solve?

The reason the Rubik's Cube is so hard to solve is because a Rubik's Cube can be twisted

into many different positions, yet there is only one position that is solved.

So how many positions can one twist a Rubik's cube?

It turns out the answer is 43 quintillion.

43 quintillion sounds big, but how big is it.

Well here's one way we can think about it.

Let's imagine I wanted to see every position of a Rubik's Cube. So what I did was I drew

each position on a separate piece of paper. Then I stacked all 43 quintillion papers.

So I started on the kitchen table. It didn't take long before I needed a ladder. Soon the

house wasn't big enough. I had to take it outside.

The latter wouldn't take me high enough so I found a crane. Pretty soon even that

With the help of a hot air balloon I continued to stack. Now my stack was higher than the

I really began to enjoy this project. Soon it took me where no one else had ever been.

I really got to know our solar system. Here's the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, the

Asteroid Belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

Pluto's no longer a planet, but let's just assume I didn't get the memo.

I continued the stack and took myself on a grand tour of our solar system. I went straight

toward Pluto. Once at Pluto I realized I was low on fuel and food and should probably start

heading back. So I started a stack on Pluto back toward Earth.

The trip back seemed to go by quickly and eventually I returned to earth. It was depressing

to know I wasn't even half way done. After fuelling up the tank, It was time for another

trip. Resolved to finish this epic quest I set out on multiple trips.

I finally finished all 43 quintillion positions. It only took 728 stacks.

Hidden out in the mass of papers is one paper that is special. Each paper has a unique picture

of a Rubik's Cube, but only one paper has the picture of a solved Rubik's Cube.
