I've attempted the Rubik's cube a few times, but i've found i have no patience for those things.  Not even the patience to swap the stickers.

One smart kid at school charged kids $5 to solve it for them, did it over night and came back the next day solved every time.

Everyone was amazed.




He wasn't smart because he could solve it, he was smart because he could sucker several kids to give him $5 to take it home, rip it apart and put it back together solved.

I prefer to solve it, I have had it a week and I have solved it once, until i got it i had never had a rubik's cube but was fascinated by there being a pattern.  I haven't figured it out yet but someday I may

There was some smart kid somewhere that figured out how to solve EVERY rubik's cube in a specific number of turns.  Some mathematical thing.  I'm not that smart. It's some mathematical equation that works on every cube regardless of it's current state.

When I was on a date, I guess he was figuring out the rubik's for us.

A real blast from the past.
I remember them from the mid '70s when I was at school.  There was a kid in my class that could solve it in about 15 seconds!
I never managed to get the last 4 corners in the right places (without taking it apart).  I have a sudden urge to go out and spend some money.

Has anybody seen the youtube video where Michel Gondry solves a Rubik's Cube with his feet?

Thats my newest toy, a V-Cube 7x7. Its awesome.

I'm a pretty big Rubik's cube nerd but I love all twisty puzzles. I've even started making and selling my own creations, here's one I made a few months ago.

Let me start by saying i was never able to complete the cube, i could get down to the corners but my stepbrother could do it real quick. As it turns out I owned a small business that i sold and am now 40 and retired. He does steroids and sells cell phones. Who's smarter?  LOL :*))
