I've always found comfort in the colorful randomness of the cube,
I'd rotate the whole cube from one day to the next,
for a change of scenery .

I was more of a cam out kind of guy with the cubes back then.

The glass wasn't half full or half empty, it was twice as big as it needed to be.

Don't have one, never tried one. Don't think I'd do well with it.

I could always solve one in the time it took me to pull apart the pieces and put them back in matching order.

We got one for my son a while back and he lost interest after a few weeks. My wife was bored a couple weeks back and watched a few YouTube videos on how it’s done and a couple days later was doing it consistently under 3 minutes. Meanwhile, I’ve had them off and in since I was a kid and have still never solved it.

I never saw the need/want to try it.
I spend my days solving many other thought process problems, don't care to do it just for fun.
I'd rather concentrate on what the fish want to bite on.

I was a pry apart and reassemble kid.
If it was nearly solved peeling off the stickers was an option too.

I figured it out after a while. Picked one up while on a WestPac.

Recently, I came across someone's solution of repeating movements sort of like the left hand rule or right hand rule for mazes. If you don't know the rule for mazes, just reach out with either right hand or left hand against the maze wall on that side then just follow along. Eventually, it will lead you out of the maze.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

The success of a solution usually depends upon your point of view

Sure, you can solve the cube, but can you do this?

The right-hand (or left-hand) rule works only for “simply connected” mazes:

Wow. That takes some talent alright. I guess similar to other artist: "How do I depict what I see using this particular medium." That's something I don't have.
