Retro: Rubik’s Cube
I recently found my 25 years old and “very original” Christmas present in an old drawer in the basement. I embarrassing remembered that I only learnt to do the two first layers on the cube and never the last, and far more difficult. And as a respect to my now dead and dear grandpa, which originally gave me the cube and spend hours with me trying solving it, I decided to pick up the long and forgotten cube and solve it once for all. I did a quick survey on the net and found literally tons of websites devoted to Rubik’s cube. I even found a guy who build them him self! Now after just one night, picking up from where I left, I got the last layer done. And no I didn’t cheat. But the “turning corner” thing really gave me a hard time. But take a look for your self at the links below and go and twist that cube!
