I have a few modest talents. Knowing what I'm doing isn't one of them.

One of those cubes proved to my son, that Dad couldn't fix everything!   :bang: :bang:

Ther's more than one way to skin a cat, we got our son one, three days later he handed it over completed, how did you manage that we asked :- he replied I go fed up twirling it about so pealed the colours off and put them back in the right place.

Thats why he's a Doctor.

That is exactly what happened at my house. Took the kid 3 days before Mom  got him to 'fess up  :wack:

My wife can solve one in less than 5 minutes.  Math major in college, donchaknow.

I don't have the patience to even try.  No desire, either.

I admit to taking one apart once  - but only to see how the mechanism operated. I just happened to put it back together 'solved'

I like this version of the Rubik solver robot - made of Lego!
