Re: Rubik's Cube

Yes - I used to love my Rubiks cube and could sort it very quickly - though not anywhere near as quickly as the guys in your link! You have me wondering now - where did I put the thing?

Re: Rubik's Cube

I'm impressed Silver Tabby! I never even managed to get on side done never mind all of them

How do you do it? More importantly, can you put a video link of your hands doing the Rubik's Cube REALLY SLOWLY so we can learn

Re: Rubik's Cube

I used to be able to do one, nowhere near as fast as they could though. I gave it away after watching a boyfriend. He would glance at the mixed up cube, then, chatting away and looking me in the eye, would twist and rotate the cube, maybe glancing at it once or twice more, then hand the finished thing over. Grrrr ruddy show-off.

Re: Rubik's Cube

I couldn't do it but my son was a whizz ..

Re: Rubik's Cube

Not sure I could complete it in 8 years

Re: Rubik's Cube

LOL! I'll have to find it first! Someone bought me a keyring that had a very tiny one attached and that drove me crackers it was so fiddley.

Re: Rubik's Cube

There you go Tabby - you are one of the lucky few that can make sense of all those twists and turns

Re: Rubik's Cube

How can someone peel off all them stickers and put them in the right place in 8 seconds, I think not.

Re: Rubik's Cube

Yes, they are not difficult to complete, it is only a matter of learning a few routines. Most people, once they have learned, can complete a cube in a couple of minutes. The problem is that once you have learned it becomes too mechanical and a bit boring. I haven't done it for years but there are plenty of You Tube films to show you how.
