my 8 year old is obsessed with cubes and he has a collection of about 20 varieties from 4x4's, 2x2's to pyramids and even a 'mirror cube' which blows my mind when he solves it. Between the cubes and his piano playing, he's become a master of algorithms long before he has any clue how they are applied in the real world or computer science.
That's incredible! It's hard enough for me to wrap my head around the mechanics and logic behind solving a traditional cube, never mind all the creative variations that are now available!
