Learning from Navrang Puzzle



This time Prof Mandi brought Navrang Puzzle for us. It looks like Rubik's cube but basic objective of  the Navrang Puzzle (as Sir told us) is to get all 9 colors on all 6 sides.




Now the task in front of us was to dismantle the cube into 27 small cubes and assemble them, such that, all 9 colors appear on each face of a cube. Some volunteers tried to do the task in stipulated time but as they started working on it randomly, they couldn't make it. Some of them even claimed that it is impossible to make such a cube.
Then Prof. Mandi showed us the technique to solve the problem which was very systematic and taught us the life time lesson to find a solution to a problem.
Sir had used a 3-step algorithm. It is here we were introduced to two important concepts: (a) Systematic Approach and (b) Role of Innovation.
I would like to demonstrate the method using a video below:-




It was an interesting session, I learned something which I could apply throughout my life and on every possible problem I will be facing in future.
Initially every problem seems to be tough or complicated because people do not look for approach to solve it rather they start thinking of direct solution. Proper systematic approach with patience and factor of innovation is the key for success and solution to every problem of life.
