Rubik's Cube

NEVER could but did not spend much time on it

I didn't know the cube was still made.

:rofl: I did this also, I was suprised this was not on the poll, so I voted that I solved it the way it supposed to be solved. By taking it apart and putting it back together, the way it should be.

Not only did I solve it back in high school, but my group of friends used to engage in competitions. My record was 56 seconds! Why I remember that bit of geek nostalgia is beyond my understanding.

We used to take the cubes apart and lube them with vaseline and make sure the corners were rounded so they didn't get stuck.

Uh....

Needless to say, I wasn't in the popular cliques. :rofl:

Good lord . I never solved mine. As I stated previously mine went into the cornfield across the road.

How many of us really were.:shrug:

I didn't solve it on my own. I learned a "method", as did all of us. The solution was quite simple once you learned it. As I remember, there were several competing methods, some more complicated than others.

None were appropriate for self-defense, though. :rofl:

I only ever managed two sides of the cube......

But as my wife keeps reminding me, (nag nag),
I never finish anything I start.

Would you believe they have real competitions with this thing? I thought it died out in the early 80s.

I solved it, about 10 years after it came out.
