Second - Buy the Gear

You are going to look silly wearing your normal clothing. You want people to know that you are the Rubik's Cube master. Even if you can't solve it yet, at least people might think that you can

I personally like the "Rubik's My Homeboy" shirt

Third - Read Some Links

Rubik's cubes are a great way to impress people. They look complicated when in reality they are simple enough for one to be decent at solving. There are many guides online that teach one how the tips and tricks of solving one. It does take some practice and memorization. However, the reward will be great. People will definitely think that you are smart. There is one problem, though. You might come across someone who will solve it faster than you. I am that guy. So be careful when you unleash your abilities.

These websites will teach you everything you need to know.

The Rubik's Revolution

The people who brought you the Rubik's Cube are trying to revive the Rubik's name by releasing The Rubik's Revolution. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it is all electronic.

I know it looks really lame and fake, but I'm pretty sure it's real and official. Still looks lame, though. But, good luck to all who enter!

I don't know much about Lego Mindstorms, but I do know that you can build crazy robotic machines out of it.

This guy was able to make a machine that solved Rubik's cubes out of LEGO.

The Braille Rubik's Cube!

I was pretty surprised when I learned of this product from the official Rubik's Cube website. According to the site, it is out of production. But, that is only the official manufactured cube. I'm sure you can either make your own or buy an unofficial cube.
