I would tick off, or freak out, people, when I would go for several seconds turning it and not looking at it. They could see progress was being made.

Oh, Dog, I don’t believe that folks are still stressing about the Rubik’s Cube!

I remember my brother getting all worked up about it decades ago. It’s easy, forget mathematics, learn to think multi-dimensionally.

(I’m just saying)
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

Well...

I looked for a cube on ebay but they have a bunch of small ones. I want the original size. (Fingers too big.)

:(

Guess I'll have to walk into a toy store...

I did see some 4x4 cubes. I'll stick with the 3x3 for now, lolol.

4x4x4 broke easily when first made.
2x2x2 is much easier than 3x3x3.

I used to just pop a corner out and reassemble.

;)


That's what I did also. I still have my original cube.
Hopefully the cosmos is not trying to reverse the charges.

I've opened the wrapper, and even that was a pain!
