Speed Stacking If you went to a public school in America, there is a high chance you may have heard of this.

Rubik’s Cube Surprisingly, Rubik’s Cubes are a lot easier to solve than one may think. With a couple of days of practice, most people can start solving them in under three minutes. Again, if you don’t want to shell out some cash for a cube, you can always try out Rubik’s cubes online or on your phone if you just want a fun puzzle.
