I once solved a Rubik Cube, though admittedly, I did a lot of random movement before I got it into a configuration in which I could sort of see a way to solve it. I was so fucking proud. Could never pull it off again though.
Then I pulled a scam in school where I twisted the solved cube twenty times, memorized the movements and made bets that I could solve the apparently randomly positioned cube in only a minute. Funny enough, nobody quite wisened up to the fact that I was the one bringing the cube in the exact same position every time. Then again, we were like, ten years old. It got me lots of random candy though.
It just occurred to me… what if the guy can’t put it back the way it was? Well, I guess if he was anal retentive enough to MAKE it, he can probably follow the video and make the movements in reverse but still…
Damn…I would not like to be the one to try and solve that. I’d more than likely destroy it before ever solving it. This also give me nightmares of the 5-D Rubik’s cube.
I once did a cube and a pyramid. I used to rock ass at solving the pyramid.
How cool. I never could solve a rubik’s cube. Then again I’ve only ever randomly moved it about.
While in aikido, one of the older members told me back in his day when rubik’s cubes were all the rage he had a friend that could solve the rubik’s cube really quickly and was rather cocky about that. So one day he grabbed a rubik’s cube and mixed around all the stickers then handed it to the guy to solve it. It frustrated the guy to no end. ^^
I’m gonna have nightmares about trying to solve this while demons with mouth eyes try to eat my soul…fuck…if I’m gonna sleep at all tonight, I need to come up with 5 dollars and drink a 12 pack of Old Mill right now
