Many people own a Rubik’s Cube, a plastic, three-dimensional puzzle. One of the most best-selling toys of all times, Rubik’s Cubes are not only challenging and fun, they are good for you in many ways. Here are some of the benefits of Abacus Maths written below : 

​

Improves Memory :- Solving a Rubik’s Cube improves your muscle memory, according to Hobby Inspired. This is the part of the brain that remembers tasks after repetition. Activities that use muscle memory are typing on keyboards, punching in PIN numbers, playing piano, doing martial arts, even riding a bike. Some cubers can speedily recall up to 10 algorithms can store up to 100 algorithms in their brain.

​

Improves Reflexes :- When you consider memorizing 100 algorithms while twisting the cube and solving the puzzle in under five seconds, you will appreciate how quickly the fingers fly. “Speedsolvers” – the world-record holders – can cross three moves per second. These puzzlers have developed sharp reflexes and incredible hand-eye coordination.

Quick reflexes are not just for cubing; they can help you visually identify items quickly, read, and notice colors faster. Hobby Inspired  reports that cubers can type faster on their computers and message speedily on their cellphones. Working on dexterity and agility can also help aging people who suffer from joint degeneration.

​

Improves Problem-Solving :- Life is about problem-solving. The basis for this skill is breaking an issue down into smaller parts and addressing each item one by one. With over 43 quintillion options to twist and turn, the Rubik’s Cube could be thought of as a mini plastic universe. When you sit and solve the puzzle, you must focus and turn each section, while realizing that every twist affects subsequent moves. After much practice identifying patterns, speed puzzler Borkowski commented on Quora that he has improved his math skills. These same abilities can also be applied when learning the grammar of a new language. Puzzlers may be able to find the solution for how to solve a Rubik’s cube, but people who like real challenges love to come up with their own. These are the world’s creative problem solvers.

​

Improves Concentration & Configuration :-  When solving a Rubik’s Cube, one must focus. Living in the digital age of flashing screens and beeping phones, it is becoming harder to concentrate on one task for a long time. While solving a Rubik’s Cube, as noted by Hobby Inspired, the brain cells are kept activated.The cube also improves the brain’s cognitive mapping skills. According to MIT News, “The Rubik’s cube is an instance of what’s called a configuration problem, the best-known example of which involves finding the most efficient way to reorganize boxes stacked in a warehouse.” Go configure!
