Title: Rubik's Cube
Post by: Faster Master St. Pastor on February 07, 2006, 12:18:41 AM

I was just wondering if anyone here had experiance with rubik's cubes. I myself know how to solve the standard 3 by 3, but my sister got me a 5 by 5 or 'Professor's Cube' and have been having a rather dismal time getting it solved. So I was just wondering if anyone has any advice thaty may be useful to me. Thanks. :)

Pull all the stickers off and put them back in the right places.  That always works for me.   ;)

They're actually fairly easy to reassemble if you pull them apart. This leaves your stickers in tact so they don't peal later.

the newer versions have little multi colored mirrors and not stickers... I saw em in TRS yesterday.

I had a dream once that my Rubik's cube controlled the future, and one day I was fiddling with it and caused my mom to die.  
I learned to take my Rubik's cube apart really fast and it sat in a shoebox in pieces under my bed for 6 months.

Fuzzy: Whoa. Rubik's Cube of DOOOOM. Scary.

Hey, has anyone heard that funny song called "19 Somethin'" by Mark Wills. This thread reminded me 'cuz the lyrics say:

It was the dawning of a new decade
When we got our first microwave
And Dad broke down and finally shaved
Those sideburns off
I took the stickers off of my Rubik's cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
In them cut off jeans
A Space Shuttle fell out of the sky
And the whole world cried

Oh, boy, would *that* ever be fun to have as a table in your gameroom! I love funky furniture.

The Career Day is hilarious.  

Oh, and that squirt-gun fountain is funny. That would be great for a kid's room--if it weren't 800 bucks!  :o
