I'm not the most patient person in the world. I leave crossword and Sudoku puzzles unfinished all the time, so I've never seriously attempted a Rubik's cube.

Apparently, it may not be as difficult as I previously thought. I didn't realize that so much of solving the puzzle is having a good strategy. The first step to solving a Rubik's cube is setting aside the time to do so. It can take a first-timer anywhere from several minutes to several hours to complete the puzzle.

This infographic says it's important to always hold the the cube with the front facing you and to rely on 90 degree turns.

Although this infographic says solving a cube only takes five steps, it's not as simple as it may first seem. Each step includes several sub-steps, along with tips for what to do if you run into any complications.

If you play your cards right and follow the advice here, you'll be a pro in no time. It might be a nerdy party trick, but it's still sure to impress some people.

To learn more facts about this intriguing little toy, check out our post on the history of the Rubik's cube.

I often call myself unlucky. I very rarely win contests, and I've gotten in more freak accidents than anyone I know. I've never come close to being injured by a toilet, although I did drop my phone in once.

Along with being unlucky, I have a ton of irrational fears, so this infographic is probably going to give me nightmares. I'd never even thought about drowning while in the bath or dying of constipation, but apparently those are things that happen.

I don't have an athletic bone in my body, but I'm more likely to win an Olympic medal than die from not using the bathroom. I usually need bumpers when I go bowling, so it's pretty hilarious to learn that it's more likely to bowl a perfect game over finding a pearl in an oyster.

There's a March madness-style game where you try to decide which is more likely at the source link, so be sure to check that out.

While we're chatting about the odds of crazy things happening, you have to check out our post on the downsides of winning the lottery. Apparently, my bad luck can be a good thing. Who knew?

Everyone knows that Star Wars takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, but George Lucas was a liar.

I know that whenever I watch fantasy or science fiction films set in alternate universes or different planets it's often difficult to remember that some of the scenes were actually filmed right here on Earth (I guess all scenes are technically filmed on earth, though CGI is kind of questionable due to it's virtual nature). Here in this infographic we see the various places that created the Star Wars universe.

Here on Earth you can visit locations of Tatooine, Hoth, Yavin IV, Naboo, and even the moon of Endor (though there won't be any cute little Ewoks to capture you). You can visit the locations of these 'worlds' respectively in Tunisia, Arizona,California, Central America, and Europe (Italy, Switzerland, Norway, and the UK).

As compared with the Lord of the Rings, which was all filmed mostly in New Zealand, Star Wars will take you all the way around the world. It might not be the easiest task to do on one vacation, but if you find yourself near any of these places during your lifetime, make an occasion to go to a galaxy far, far away.

So first of all, I just found out from my roommate the other night that Michael Jackson would send the music he was writing to his label by singing all of the parts - check out acapella ' Beat It '. So awesome.

As most people know, MJ was not only an amazing singer but also an innovative and amazing dancer. If you don't know this already, just look up the music videos for Beat It, Smooth Criminal, and Thriller on youtube. He really elevated the music video to a new level of awesomeness. This gif-infographic however focuses on his most infamous dance move of all - The moonwalk.

The steps sound easy - start with your left foot forward with your body-weight on the ball of your right foot, then you slide your left foot back and shift the weight to your other foot and repeat - but it will take a lot of practice.

What I love about this infographic is how it's uses a gif layout to simply and elegantly show dance steps. I haven't searched yet, but I'd love to see more infographics like this for more dances, music fundamentals, or even cooking. I think there's a bright future for the gif-infographic.

Where is Gold from and Where does it go?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Gold has been valued by humanity for a long, long time. So long that it's taken on an almost mystical stature. Gold is a key player in legends across the world, with myths of dragon's hordes and pirate treasure being just the tip of the iceberg. Even for those of us who wear gold jewelry every day, in a wedding ring, etc., the word gold most often conjures up piles of coins or stacks of gold bars. Gold is inextricably linked with wealth in our myths, and in real life.

As you can see in this infographic, a whopping 17% of the world's supply of gold is held by central banks. Although the gold standard is no longer the basis of our monetary system, having some around seems like a good idea. Technology uses only a little less, with 12% going into our gadgets and gizmos, and majestic, size-of-a-small-country gadgets like the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (which might actually be producing gold by accident?).

Maybe the gold in your life is a ring on your left ring finger, or wherever wedding rings go in your culture, maybe you'll be interested in the history of the engagement ring.

I love today's infographic. Simple, quick, pleasing color scheme and an interesting topic. I believe putting the lifespan of animals in perspective is something I haven't focused on since grade school. Cool and interesting facts about the animal kingdom is something most of us end learning about around middle school. Today's graphic gives us the opportunity to take in some of the wonders of the world. I'll keep my eye out for similar data visualizations for the future!

I do wish this graphic had the answer to the ultimate animal lifespan myth that house flies only live 24 hours. In reality, house flies live for almost an entire month. Gnats or Mayflies can live up to a week, but most die within a few hours or days. With the help of my apple cider vinegar trap hopefully only a few minutes.

With new medicine and technology I have a feeling I'll see the first person to outlive a Giant Tortoise. The lifespan of humans could, in the distant future, be endless. We're coming for you jellyfish.

22 years old, and college graduation approaches. I can't think of a more perfect graduation present to myself than a dog. I have a job lined up, a house with a yard- why not?

Well this infographic might make me think twice. It outlines the first year cost of dogs and cats (I'm not a cat person, so personally I'll be disregarding that but it's useful info for you cat people).

My first instinct told me that food would probably be the biggest cost. Not quite. Health insurance and reoccurring health related expenses together cost nearly four times the $120 it takes on average to feed a dog for a year. The numbers for cats are significantly lower than that- but it still costs quite a bit more to keep a cat healthy for a year than it does to feed it.

Remember Bob Barker, "Get your pets spayed or neutered!"- that's good and all, but he never mentioned how much that costs: $200 for a dog and $145 for a cat. I guess that's s small price to pay to avoid running a puppy mill and or kitten haven, but that's definitely not chunk change.

Looks like getting a dog might cost a little bit more than I thought- this infographic estimates that it would cost about $1,500 in the first year. Yikes. Good thing I got that job. It's less than that for a cat- $1,035, but cats are nowhere near as cool as dogs (sorry!). When was the last time you saw a cat fetch? Anyway- if any of you out there are thinking of acquiring a pet, take a look at this infographic first and make sure you can afford it, otherwise you'll be eating ramen every night to make sure you can feed that furry friend.

Before you enlarge the image, see how many pairs of specs you can match with the person or personality who wore them.

How many did you get right? I didn't fare too well, but at least I got Elton John, Geordi LaForge, and Cyclops. Those would have been embarrassing to miss. I didn't guess Mr. Peanut and, appropriately, Waldo completely escaped me.

My favorite on this chart is definitely the pair Holly Golightly, Audrey Hepburn's character, wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Funnily enough, the glasses of Truman Capote, the author of Breakfast at Tiffany's, have also made their way onto this list, but much further down. I wonder if his specs are jealous. Aside from them, I'm going to vote for "Macho Man" Randy Savage as best runner up. Which are your favorite face-adornments?

Whether prescription or shades, glasses are a great way to round off, or completely make, an instantly recognizable look. What glasses type is best for you? We've got an infographic on how to match frame shape to your face shape to help you construct your own signature style.

Ever seen Jiro dreams of sushi? Today's infographic is kind of a refresher on the amount of training needed to become a real sushi chef, or Itamae-San. It'll also cover sushi etiquette and traditional aspects of the sushi culture.

The Japanese have their occupations in high regard. The government has had to make laws which limits people on how much time they can spend working because of workplace stress. Although, the underlying principles of a proud worker still stands very true in Japan. Becoming a sushi master is no exception.

There is about a 10 year apprenticeship to become an Itamae-san. It starts with a few years of gutting and cleaning fish. Not the prettiest job, but it can help weed out those who aren't committed. Next comes the fundamentals of cooking and shaping rice. This too is very meticulous and causes many to drop out. Next, after five to seven years the apprentice gets to start making sushi. Different sushi has different difficulty and can take years to master, but once the student becomes a real Itamae, their opportunity opens up.

Plants have been growing on this earth since before the earliest pre-ancestors of humans even thought about squiggling up out of the oceans, so why can they be so darn hard to keep alive? This infographic is a simple and pleasant guide to the common problems that your leafy friends might be running into. As someone who manages to let succulents die, I'm going to be keeping this info close at hand.

But maybe you're not just messing with a couple of houseplants like I am. If you're doing some for real gardening, may I suggest this attractive and helpful guide to when fruits, veggies, and herbs are in season in the Northern Hemisphere? To my Southern Hemisphere peeps, sorry! I just cannot find a corresponding infographic. Here's a site that has planting seasons for both hemispheres based on climate zones.

Fortunately, the effects of magnesium deficiency don't vary across the globe, so this infographic will work for all of us. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go water my plants. And maybe rotate them? That's a thing, right? Or is that just car tires?

It seems like law enforcement officials have always had sort of a rough time of things, probably from the very beginning of the profession. Most people tend to have an automatic reaction to seeing or interacting with police, and the general reaction usually tends to fall along the lines of either fear or anger. This, of course, makes the law officer's job far more difficult as they try to deal with people who are doing their best to either lie to the police or just outright elude them.

While these problems that face law enforcement will likely never be solved entirely, police officers now have a powerful new ally in dealing with those suspected of criminal activity: social media.

It would seem like basic knowledge (and really just common sense) that if you're going to do something that would be considered illegal where you live, you shouldn't post it on your Facebook page for anyone to see. It should really be that simple, logically. A staggering amount of police officers and law enforcement agencies, though, are now using social media to get pertinent information on suspected criminals, because they and their friends talk and post openly about it on social sites. Really.

Today's infographic from PoliceOne.com outlines the growing use of social media as a tool for officers to do their jobs more efficiently. More than 70% of law enforcement departments throughout the U.S. frequently use social media as a tool, including agencies on the Federal, State, and Local levels.

For more information on the growing social media trend among our nation's law enforcement refer to the infographic below and be sure to share your point of view in the comments. [ Via]

The world has become an unpredictable place. Along with the depletion of earth's natural resources, the weather is getting crazy: deadly tornadoes, sweltering heat and previously temperate places, and freak blizzard hurricanes. Changes that were happening over thousands of years are now happening in much less time, so who knows how much longer we'll have some of the world's natural wonders.

In case you're inspired to set out to see a few before they disappear, you really might want to get packing. An interesting aspect of today's infographic is the timer each destination has until its demise. While the future seems grim, it gives a pretty actionable idea of how much time you have, and money you have to save up, in order to plan a trip to your destination.

After looking at today's infographic, I would like to go to the Congo Basin and Glacier National Park. It will be such a treat to be able to experience Earth's amazing treasures before they disappear, so go see them while you still can! If you need to beat jetlag try this.

A 2017 version has been expanded to 25 places. Though some of these places hopefully are on a much longer timeline, here are a few that seem to be on a count down: Madagascar's forests (35 years), Montana's Glacier National Park (15 years), Dead Sea (50 years), The Alps (33 years), Great Barrier Reef (13 years), The Great Wall (20 years).

Cat owners might be onto something. According to today's infographic, our feline friends provide us with more than just emotional support. House cats may actually be contributing to our physical well-being by offering soothing cat purrs!

When a cat purrs within a frequency range of 20-140 Hertz, nearby humans may be therapeutically benefiting from these vibrations. Purring has been linked to lowering stress, decreasing symptoms of Dyspnoea, lessening the chances of having a heart attack, and even strengthening bones.

Pet therapy is apparently gaining momentum in many communities, and according to Animal Planet, there is scientific research that suggests pet owners live longer than those without pets.

It seems that our own animals may have the ability to relieve us of our troubles, or at least make our worries seem less important. The bond between pets and their owners may never be fully understood (cats in particular have always struck me as magical and mysterious-and now they have healing powers?!) but it's nice to know having a furry confidant around can add years to our lives.

So, if you're trying to convince Mom and Dad to let you get a kitty, go show them this infographic, and stop by your local animal shelter!

For existing cat owners, this seems like an awesome upgrade for your healing feline:

Aspiring chefs take note, here's the kit and caboodle you need to get familiar with in the pursuit of your dream.

Let's start with the delicious assortment of hats. The toques, flared or otherwise, are certainly the most iconic of the chef's hats, but I find that I quite like the style of the skull cap. It looks a bit less encumbering than that tall toque, at least. I've never worn either, though, so what do I know. Do you have a favorite chef's hat? Let us know in the comments.

Most of the chef's uniform seems to be designed with managing heat in mind, which is almost certainly why most of the hats include a deal of headroom for heat to rise into and dissapate. And I must say that bandana is quite stylish as well.

The tools that chefs need to be able to use, especially the knives, are not as many as you might think. There are only four knives that are listed as must-haves, but they are clearly a versatile bunch. Check out this other excellent infographic to learn more about cooking knives and how to use them.

The warm weather is upon us northern-hemisphereians which means it is time to start consuming cold, sugary, dairy-based confections.

Imagine this with me - It's a hot day and you are walking through the park. You come round a clump of manicured bushes and there before you are two little stands on either side of the path, one selling gelato and the other selling ice creams. Obviously, you're going to get one, but which? What a terrible dilemma.

Of course, you are hot and don't give a hoot which you get, but once you cool down maybe you start wondering if you made the right choice. As if there could be a wrong choice between ice cream and gelato! But there are differences, and this infographic's got you covered.

The main differences are that gelato contains less air, less butterfat, and is served at a higher temperature. Some practical differences I've found is that gelato tends to come in flavors that ice cream doesn't and vice-versa. I don't think I've ever seen rocky road gelato, for example.

Speaking of flavors, what's your favorite frozen treat flavor? Tell us in the comments and see if your choice made Baskin Robbins' Top Ten lis t.
