rubix cube

The 'cube' came out in either 1979 or 1980 and my old man and I bought two - one each - and mixed them up.

The bet was to se if and if so who first could/would solve them. I beat him and wond the £5 bet. :teeth:

There are actually only two different moves. One for the corners and one for the middle edge pieces.

Children have better hand eye co-ordiniation than adults - watch them on the play station if you dont believe me - but once mastered it is easy to complete the cube under a minute.

Half the battle was making the cube move smoothly. Talcum powder was useful if I remember correctly.

God I feel old.
