Why do Rubik's cubes have removable center tiles?

- corndoge 11y agoAll Rubik's cubes have removable center tiles covers; they're usually difficult to remove without the help of an Xacto knife or similar. Under each tile is a screw; unscrewing these will allow you to take the center cubes off. After removing all the other non-center cubes, once you take the center 'cubes' off (they aren't really cubes, actually more like plates) it's easier to grease your cube up.
