I still can't solve a Rubics cube without a tutorial. Can you? If I were to guess...

LionJim can. I say that because of his mathematics background.

Unfortunately, my mind doesn't connect with that puzzle.

Sheesh...... Mr. Potter can't even spell it! ;)

I grew up during the initial Rubik's Cube phenomenon and I couldn't even solve it with one of those solution books. I bought a big 18cm cube that we stick out at my library here on campus from time to time for the students to play with. It always gets solved, messed up, solved, messed up, etc.

I prefer the perpetual calendar cubes.

And, of course, my new favorite cube......

Yes, every five star WR prospect sees this post and thinks it means Purdue has a player who can run a 0.103 second forty-yard dash, gets scared off.

In this day and age of ever-rising costs and excessive bloat at our universities, we should view all activities through the lens of, “Is this going to advance the school’s primary mission to win football games?”

My sneakers are tied permanently to make them slip ons.
The thing is Potter is that you can solve the puzzle. It's just common sense. If someone told you that you would die like Snake Plissken in 24 hours if you didn't solve it, you'd solve it. (I hope, anyway).

I found a tutorial on youtube yesterday. I'll report back the results after Monday. Mt. Nitanny, I thank you and believe you when you convey "I can".

I don't know if I could solve a Rubics cube. I guess I'd have to give a crap in order to find out.

Velcro or slip on sneakers, Potter?
2 years ago I was having a surgical procedure and thought it might be difficult to bend down to tie my shoes for a while. I bought a pair of slip on sneakers and have never gone back. They're great going through TSA.

Rubik’s Cube kicked my a$$ in the ‘80s. I even removed all of the colored stickers and still couldn’t get it.

😞

Nah, the real trick was in learning how to take a pocketknife, pop loose one of the middle cubes, then take the whole thing apart and snap it back together solved.
