    Me not a hope. I have tried and tried but it's illogical and an impossibility for it to work.

    I just end up either over thinking the fecking thing or throwing it away.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I could never do them back in the 80s, but then I only tried twice for a couple of minutes each time. You can't say it's an impossibility when many people can solve them. Some of my grandchildren (1 of them is 7 years old) can do them in a matter of minutes.

    Some people can do it, others don't. I couldn't do it either.

    The odd thing I remember about these cubes is that there was some friend of the family who had a rather low IQ and no logical thinking at all but was able to do that cube within 5 minutes.

    It’s possible to take them apart and reassemble them.

    Thats how I do it. Takes me about five minutes.

    Rubiks cube was one of my 2020 lockdown projects. I can get one side done and when that's done I can get some T shapes in the other colours. That's as much as I can do. I am still trying to solve it but don't worry I am not at it every day. Hopefully some day I will get it. I like Rubik's cube. I pack it to a lot of places I go to and if I am delayed I work on a colour or two.

    I have had one for years - I can do one side by myself. And solve it by looking up online tutorials.

    Daughter followed similar tutorials and now can solve it about 3 minutes.

    I should buy one as I never owned one so I do not know if I would be able to solve it. I think I held one in my hands once in my whole life(now 39) and it was only to look at it and not solve it.
