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!

Have fun (as you might had those many years ago)!
If you thought Tamagotchi were ludicrously compelling, wait until you feast your eyes upon the crazy characters that inhabit Cube World. And no, that’s not a new superstore that sells boxes; it’s an interactive place where pixellated stick people live, play and pester each other.
