:helpme

Everyone born before 1980 has played with it.

Yeah, it easy as hell. You just start peeling off the stickers and putting them back on so that the colors match... LOL

As a 5 year old I moved all the stickers to solve it. My older brothers kicked the shit out of me....:(

Once or twice. I am not even good on it.

yep they were a fun way to pass the time.

They were the bathroom toy of choice before gameboy:)

:1orglaugh

Rubik's Cube is easy the hard one is the one just like the orginal but you have to make it into the cube along with mathing up the colors.

a fellow geek taught me how to solve it back in high school. the center cube in each face will be your referrence color. but it takes me more than an hour to solve it

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

What's more fun than solving it the tradional way is making the colors spell "OHIO" and yes it can be done. The OHIO puzzle was one of the old school mod solutions.

been there...

I remember seeing one of those painted with nail polish. It was pretty awsome, they painted it to look like a galaxy. Really nicely done.

my brother would kick me in the ass everytime I would do that. he said once you move the stickers, there's no way you can solve the cube again coz everything is disarranged

haha i remember doing that :1orglaugh

I was trying to find the name of it but besides rubix cube we had a rectangle style chain link game. You had to slide the pieces up and around in order to get all three sides the same colors. Those two and the old simon says game that you had to hit the colors the same as the game did. All the good old late 70's and early 80's. :upsidedow

The best I could do was get one side and all of one color but one square on another side.

The easiest method for solving it was to take it apart and put it back together.

many mmoons ago

The best I ever did was get it 3/4ths done...then I fucked it up.

I never had the patience to solve that shit

I've played that stuff several times. I even got into a fight with my older brother because of that.

my problem too... But it is a nice toy though!

i tried and was successful, at that. but it happened only once. plus it took me a couple of weeks to solve that cube.

I still think those of us that took the sitckers off and rearanged there were the ones that showed our problem solving skills.

Of course my mom never bought the real one. Mine had fruit on it instead.

haha! Hungarian invention but i have never been able to solve it :upsidedow

when i was 5 :)

yes

did you watch beauty and the geek season 2?

guy (uhm geek :D) was world fastest completion record holder

was great for school for playing under the table, in those days i solved the puzzle within 1min 20 seconds.

i hate rubics cubes, so fucking annoying.

the Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernhahaha337; Rubik is the man behind this mind-boggling cube.

I don't think i've ever completed one...

I could never get my head round Rubix cubes, I used to watch guys on guiness world records solve them in lixe 2.5 seconds flat and be like wtf...

I much preferred rubix magik

i have one on my desk right now, i can complete it without cheating in about 5-10mins.

11secs is the new record i believe.

course everyone has

Holy shit, those Hungarians have wicked names... :pimp

It's Called Missing Link, :thumbsup

yeah, never solved it

I was a total Cube Geek in school. The school sponsored this content to see who could solve it the fastest. They had like 6 different prizes and they were thinking it would take people dyas or weeks to solve it.

They announced the contest at 10:05 and at 10:15 I had won. It took me a while to convince them that I could do it in minutes instead of days.

My fastest time was 1:21.

Total geek...

So when can we see bigwheels and greenmachines making a comeback?

Lawn darts, anyone?
