How Do YOU Solve a Problem...

Rodgers & Hammerstein addressed that question often in their musicals and sometimes concluded  “It’s a Puzzlement”! OK, I’m dating myself a bit but I am sure modern songwriters like Taylor Swift are addressing that same question...
One answer is to follow a system, a gameplan, a strategy that someone else has already figured out. Since the dawn of man, we have known there is no point in reinventing the wheel. As far as complex puzzles, I cannot imagine anything as puzzling as a Rubik’s Cube. If you try to solve it, you might, like me, just fumble around a bit until we get a few colors lined up only to find the back side a complete mess... Wouldn’t take me long to give up in frustration... Sound familiar?

However, if you know the “secret”, then it’s a piece of cake. Know what the world record for solving the Cube is? I Googled it... it’s 5.55 seconds!! Holy smokes!! (Check out the video below - won’t take long to watch!) And if that wasn’t amazing enough, there are records for doing it blindfolded (memorizing the original state), doing it one-handed and with no hands, just  feet... really! CLICK HERE for a list (and other videos)

What’s the point? Don’t reinvent the wheel! I found a video of the “5 SIMPLE moves to EASILY solve the Rubik’s Cube”... So not matter what problem you are trying to solve, don’t give up!! There is more than likely a class, book or app for that!!

  1. "No point in reinventing the wheel," that is for sure. And thanks for all your help, Susan, in helping me patch the holes with my website, making it work to the max for me. You are the best !!! You always have an idea for me, something I need and not a lot of stuff I do not need. You go above and beyond as well, and we never forget this.
