Can you do the rubiks cube?

[carrotcard]

If so how fast?

Aww good on him! I would definitely have lessons from your son :)

Until 12am. He's a taskmaster!

I can't do it. I read a book but couldn't really follow it. I'm always impressed when someone can do it

my SIL's party trick... he can do it in 20 seconds! i didn't believe him until he showed me .. pretty impressive to be honest.

Yes! But only because my son wanted to learn and I had to do it to teach him.

Lost a couple of hours to a YouTube video ( last few moves K had to change the speed settings to get to grips) but I can now do it in about 1:45-2 minutes. My sons fastest time was 42 secs..

I often do it when waiting in queues for things- v absorbing!

I used to be able to do it but I wasn't very fast. I believe it's possible in 9 moves but I never figured them out. I'd love to give it another go.

Yes I did it that way. Just repeated a few moves to get various faces done. Was around 2 mins. Forgot it now of course but still have the cube and book!

Same! Weirdly I can remember the top tow rows from the book I read 40 odd years ago 😱 That last row solution though - completely gone!

Nope, never could. I always found it very frustrating.

I'm great at Wordle and Sudoku though.

Surely it’s impossible?! 😂 Absolutely not a cat in hells chance could I solve it!

I can but it took me a long time and I have no desire to do it again.

I can do them . I’ve had one since the original craze and I’ve never timed it but I’m fairly quick .

Nope. Could do a side as a young child. As an adult, not at all!

Pdq cos I peel the stickers off and cheat.

My mum’s face when adult me told her this 😅

Never been able to do it, I still have the snide one bought from Pwllheli market while on holiday in 1982. My son recently decided to try to do it but I’ve noticed it’s still all jumbled up on his shelf.

When they first came out, I had a book on how to solve it. Once I learned how to do it, it probably took me about 30 sec. I wouldn't have a clue now.

I still have my original cube. I used to be able to complete in under a minute when at school - 40+ years ago. I dig it out every so often and after a few tries I generally manage to complete in 3 minutes or less. Sometimes I mess up the top layer having had a complete mental block!

My children got one and I learned to do it recently. The children are very quick. I'm just under 2 mins.

I actually really like them, it engrossing when you are doing it. I'm also waiting patiently of an opportunity I can impress people by nonchantly picking one up and doing it (ie. Those strange work meetings/conferences where they get you to do tasks). That moment won't arise but I am ready for it if it does....

Ha, no and I probably never will be able to. We have one on the table in our staff room at work.

Nope - my brain just doesn’t work that was. My big brother could - he has a Maths type brain.

I did it once, following the steps of a book. It took a few false attempts and some very careful studying of diagrams, which I’ve never been good at following. Took about 4 hours (in hospital with one of my kids which is why I had that much time to kill!).
