To think the rubix cube is impossible to solve.

[McNewPants2013]

I have been trying for weeks since my birthday on 14th December.

It just can't be solved

I can do it - I learned the method thirty-odd years ago and never forgot. And have now passed it on to my kids.

Yes, remove stickers and basically cheat

My ds can do it really quickly and so can dgs whereas I never managed more than one face.Mind you I cant get solitaire [the one with marbles] out either and I cant do a jigsaw with more than 100 pieces

dd1 can do it in 45 seconds.
She raised a fortune for charity doing it in school assembly. They all bet on her time, teachers too. She got just over £400.00.

I learnt how to do it dead quick when they were first out in the 80s but this was by following one of the printed solutions. I never actually "solved" it for myself IYSWIM

I've never even got a single side done. I just don't understand it.

There was a puzzle called the dragon lock about 20 years ago and it was supposed to be fiendishly difficult but I could do that one. I suppose it is just about how your brain works.
