    Rubik's cube?

    Geez that's a blast from the past.

    Soooo '70's. I don't think you can get it out unless you are wearing a body shrt, platform shoes and flares.

    Blast from the past, all right Craig

    Early '80s is the time frame I think, I remember spending plenty of time twiddling the bl00dy things

    Bought a book & learned a system, best time of 2min36sec to solve.

    Course, I could still do it easy now...

    If your Rubic's Cube is a bit 'tight', take it apart and rub some wax on the sliding parts - you'll be able to turn it faster after that. Did that to mine and I managed to get my time down to around three minutes!

    Years ago, number one son from 1st marriage could do the cube, from any state, in less than one minute.

    Maybe I should send it to him or his kids.

    I had lots of them as a teenager in the late 70's early 80's. There is a system to solving them that has to be worked out. Mr Rubik took some weeks to work it out when he first invented them. I remember being able to do them in about 40 secs but it would take 40 mins now. Good luck.
