RUBIK CUBE

                     Jobseekers , persistence pays !

Rubik Cube ( invented by Hungarian Prof. Erno Rubik ) sold 350 million pieces in 34 years since its invention in 1974.

With 9 colored squares on each side, how many unique permutations can you make with a Rubik cube?

Ans :    43,252,003,274,489,856,000

And in how many "moves" can you make all those permutations ?

Google researchers used their powerful computers to come-up with answer :

20    moves

Why can't they figure out ?

·     how many interviews an unemployed will need to attend before getting first job offer ?

·     how many resumes will need be sent to get first interview-call ?
