Rubik's Cube incorporated project for school

[David Weisiger]

So, my english teacher gave us the flexibilty of creating a presentation including the combination of two subjects. I want one of these subjects to be about Rubik's Cubes. I'm not sure of the other idea however. I've been thinking of perhaps the physics of Rubik's Cubes (like how lubricant, and the tension can affect the cube), or something relevant to group theory. Could you guys supply some interesting ideas to do?

the logic of rubik's cube? e.g = instead of 54 stickers moving around, its actually pieces moving

A presentation on things that are obvious. Yes, I think that would go over well.

It's not at all obvious to most non-cubers. Although it would definitely be a short sub-topic.

I can't tell if you were using sarcasm but to a non-cuber finding out that you can't switch an edge with a corner with a center blows there mind. One day in study a friend of mine grabs my cubes and says, "In theory, this piece (he points to GO edge) will always end up in the same spot after its fixed. And, in theory, (points to GOY corner) this piece will always end up in the same spot once its fixed. But that's just a theory like the Relativity one Einstein did, it's convincing but can't be proven." I looked the kid straight in the face and loled
