Funny how things come back. Gold Bond Medicated Powder, Scooby Doo, Rubik's Cube.... I was watching a show tonight with my boys on Jetix (Monster Buster Club - awesome) and saw that Ideal has started marketing Rubik's Cube again. As the commercial is playing, my five year old says "that's easy!" (no, he's never done it & never tried - it just looks easy on TV).
Still... it was easy; what a nerd I must have been. It wasn't that I was a savant, or anything. I just bought the "How to Solve the Cube" book and memorized the moves. I was good - got down to less than a minute. Maybe around forty-five seconds? I can't remember for sure. I was such a nerd about it for a while that I remember "tuning" the cube for speed, taking it apart and lubricating it with extra whatever and putting it back together.Sorta explains why I didn't have many dates in high school, huh.TT
