[Dan in Pasadena]

30 years ago, my ex brother in law had one and managed to get one side done...took him forever. I remember he claimed he couldn't imagine anyone doing the whole thing. He left for work. I noodled around with it for about half an hour then just peeled the stickers off and "completed" two sides. I tossed it on his bed and left.

A couple of days later he wanted me to show him how I'd done it and I said I didn't know, he'd just have to keep fiddling with it. Of course I had screwed it up forever and it was now impossible to EVER make it work. At the time I felt regret but never told him. 20 years later he contributed to my screwing at the hands of his sister, my soon to be ex and I felt a LOT better for hosing him on the Rubik's cube!
