I associate the Rubik's Cube Craze on the era when NEW WAVE was on the peek![8D] I remember some times solving the cube while listening to NEW WAVE.[;)] I'm just interested if you guys were also with this craze.[:D] GREAT MEMORIES!![8D]

I was never into that. Maybe because I could never figure it out.

I was alawyas able to get it into the shape of a cube, almost effortlessly, so I got bored quickly with it. Now trying to alphabetize a one pound bag of m&m's, there was something that kept me busy for hours. Also, I remember trying to put together a crossword puzzle, but could never find any of the pieces. I had a few words for that puzzle, this much I can tell you.

ha ha, twisted cube of madness. So simple, yet so ingeniously hard !
I could solve 2 sides easily. I think I may have actually solved it once on accident, or else gotten super close. So frustrating.

LOL, I "solved" it also by taking it apart. I did buy the book that showed how to solve it later on though.

I was such a dork. Even with the book I couldn't solve it.

It generally took me 1 to 2 hours to solve Rubik's cube. (No disassembly required.)

The Megaminx kicked my butt though.

I was totally psycho over that little cube. I was at one time able to solve it in less than a minute. I remember charging kids a quarter to solve theirs in the fifth grade. I still have the cube and the solution book.

The sun never sets on those who ride into it.
