I like to play Rubik’s cube because everyone in our class like to play Rubik’s cube and I think it’s cool to play Rubik’s cube. I start to play third order Rubik’s cube and play fourth Rubik’s cube until then, I start to play Alien Rubik’s cubes which are not a cube. I play triangle one, and then, I start to play the “SQ1 cube”. It’s a cube but not underlined by normal cube. It takes one month to fix it. The next Rubik’s cube is called ” Mirror cube” which is the line shifted by normal Rubik’s cube
