Design and Express Algorithms to Solve Puzzles:

Attempt to solve the following puzzles. Consider what types of strategies you applied to each puzzle and relate it to the information you have learned in this course.

1. The Rubiks Cube: A lot of research and algorithmic creation has been done in terms of solving the Rubiks Cube. Attempt to solve the Rubiks cube puzzle on your own without doing outside research for at least 20 minutes. Make notes of the methods you employed. After an honest attempt at solving the puzzle on your own, conduct outside research on algorithms for solving the Rubiks Cube. Summarize your findings in the final write-up of the methods that you employed to solve the puzzle and analyze differences in algorithmic application.
