Rubick's Cube

Post by Dust » 11 May 2009 12:21

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik%27s_Cube

I've recently come into posession of such an item, and it is addictive. Currently I am able to solve two of the three layers on my own, and the third with notes. Not even close to speed solvers though.

I wonder why it is so addictive.

I solved the cube many many years ago... I also nearly (missed out by a couple of hours) won a prize for solving the clock.
