The Rubic Cube. Any Pelican masters?
Twenty years ago, me and my brother were pretty fast with that thing. Have not tried it since. Until today. My 8 year old son got one for his b-day. I spent two hours trying to remember the algorithms. No cigar. Then I handed it over to my brother who spent no more than ten minutes before solving it.
Donīt you just hate it! Some people have a spatial memory or a memory for moves in there hands and fingers that others just lack (me).
Obviously, my son was quite disappointed with my performance. After digging threw the Internet I have now managed to solve it. I canīt believe we actually memorized all those pretty complex algorithms. I had big trouble even following the instructions.
Well, now its done and I am about to glue the whole darn cube together to keep it solved. There are few things that have made me so frustrated as that cube. You have spent 15 minutes and you have only two top corners left to rotate threw a complex maneuver. Half threw the algorithm you realize you have scrambled the whole cube again..literary back to square one.
