This cartoon from a Taiwanese newspaper illustrates that Rubik's cube was popular in 1979. I don't have a clue what the caption says.
I haven't but my son has and it makes me Crazy!!!
ReplyDeleteI never had the patience to spend hours and gave up way before that:)
ReplyDeleteI had a cube...I think I solved it once...and once was enough. Didn't have the patience or desire to improve my skill.
ReplyDeleteI came close to solving it a few times, but never could quite get it right. And like most games I lost interest after awhile. But I kept one in a basket of puzzles in my classroom and kids would work on it once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI loved Rubik's Cube but I wasn't as fast at solving it as my kids. I think the caption says, "Rubik's Cube, even when he's not studying, he's learning." I'm guessing of course!
ReplyDeleteI remember and I couldn't solve it either
ReplyDeleteI remember when they first came out....nope I could never do it!!
ReplyDeleteNever could solve it. My son and his friends are toting them around again ... full circle, eh?
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I learned to solve it and got pretty fast at it, actually. I've wondered if I could do it again now.
ReplyDeleteYes I loved it! One of the neighbor kids just replaced the stickers...it was no fun after that:)
ReplyDeleteNope. Never did solve it. The words probably say ---- silly Americans wasting time with Chinese toy.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have one of those around here, too, but I don't remember anyone solving it. Do you remember the flat squares that could slide around until you got them in the correct order...can't remember what they were called but they were popular way before the Rubic's cube.
ReplyDeleteI think it takes a mathematical mind to figure it out. I never could solve it, but my son can. He said he learned the algorithms to apply from the Internet.
