But no matter the cube, the process of solving one involves math — specifically, algorithms. Roman Chavez loved Rubik's Cubes so much, he founded the Jr. Oakland Cubers in high school.

Erno Rubik’s Cube is still selling millions after 50 years as it refuses to be frozen in time.

Mathematicians and hobbyists have had a half-century of fun exploring the 43 billion billion permutations of Erno Rubik’s creation.

Most kids can't wait for the final bell of the school day. But at Aloha Huber Park Elementary in Beaverton, some students stay after school to learn about algorithms -- through a Rubik's Cube.

A pimply teenager walked us through “The Easiest 10-Minute Rubik’s Cube Lesson,” demonstrating specific processes to tackle each side. Over and over, I fumbled the righty and lefty algorithms.

Watch a 6-axis motor solve a Rubik’s Cube in less than a third of a second Getting an AI to distinguish red from orange was a major challenge.
