This document provides an overview of solving a Rubik's cube, including its history, features, notation, and algorithms. It describes how Ernő Rubik invented the Rubik's cube in 1974 and discusses its notation system using letters and prime symbols to denote clockwise and counterclockwise turns of different sides. The document outlines the levels approach to solving a Rubik's cube and includes some edge and corner algorithms like the sexy move to solve each level.
