Oklahoma Choice (12th)

Ernõ Rubik(Inventor of the Rubik’s Cube)

• The problems of puzzles are very near the problems of life, our whole life is solving puzzles.

• But everyday problems are very mixed –they’re not clear.

• The Cube’s problem depends just on you.

• You can solve it independently.

• But to find happiness in life, you’re not independent.

• That’s the only big difference.
