Have you ever solved a Rubix cube?

Well, have you punk?

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...........................bitch!

I did once - no idea how I did it tho.

**alpha_omega** · 12-07-2004, 08:20 AM

Yes...and the Pyraminx (i think that is what it was called) too.

If by “solve” you mean “try for two minutes, shrug and toss in the trash,” then yes I have.

I took off the color stickers and rearranged them to make it look like I did.

Lol, I did that too.

The last time I really even messed with a Rubik's cube was when I was a kid. I actually only got 4 out of 6 sides(without cheating).

We used to take them apart and put them back together correctly. We were geeeeenioussssses.

Sounds like what the Chiefs did this year with their defense from last year!

I did have a cousin who was about 3 years older than me. So, I guess he was probably around 11 or 12 at the time. He could solve a Rubik's cube in a minute or two.

At one time, I could routinely solve it in about 2 minutes. I still think I could do it in 20 minutes or so. You consider it as 3 layers. The top 2 layers are pretty easy. When you get those correct, there are about 3 or 4 possible patterns that could exist on the bottom layer. These are tougher, so memorizing the solution for the various patterns helps.

My original intent was to make this a poll with the following options:

* I can tap a keg
*Gravy
*Deep breathing serves as a salve to the soul
*Bob Dole like Rubix pie

Alas, I hit the submit button too quickly and it would seem that newbies (even alter-ego newbies) cannot delete a thread without the assistance of a moderator. Damn the luck anyhow.

HC_Chief · 12-07-2004, 10:14 AM

nope

But I worked with a guy from Romania that could solve one in about 40 seconds. No kidding... you could screw it up for hours, he'd solve it in under a minute.

I remember when I was in school one of the kids fathers was from Romania (uhh, I think it was Romania) and he could solve it as well. How could a certain ethnicity be able to solve it????

As far as me solving them, I used to take them apart as well then show my brother and dad it when it was put back together.

Genious!!!!
