2x2x2 Rubik's Cube


My favorite item is 2x2x2 Rubik’s Cube. This cube is also called mini cube or pocket cube. Pocket cube is 2x2x2 equivalent of Rubik’s Cube.
This cube consist of 6 sides, with 4 stickers on every sides of this cube. And this cube consist of 8 corners. Corner is a part of rubik’s cube that has 3 colour.
There are several methods to solve pocket cube. The popular methods are Guimond and Ortega methods. But if you want to solve this cube with the time under 3 seconds, you can use Stern-Sun (SS), Erik-Gunnar (EG), and CLL methods.
Now, Erik Akkersdijk holds the world record of 2x2x2 Rubik’s Cube, with a time of 0.96 seconds at the Geneva Open 2008.
2x2x2 Rubik’s Cube is very interesting. This cube is easier to solve than 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube or standard cube. So you can solve this cube with a time under 10 seconds.
