Can you solve Rubik&#39;s cube? And do it blindfolded?

Good for you. It was all too puzzling for me. That's great you're able to do it.

@Beestring I'm sure that you'd still be able to do it athough you might need to take a couple of goes.

Enjoy your trip! I tried solving the cube a couple of times and decided that gardening was more interesting.

@JudyEv I like other games such as word games with other people. But I never saw a point in this.

@marguicha I prefer word games. My 'logic' doesn't always work.

Exactly like you Judy, can’t even solve it with my eyes open. The Rubik's cube is something I always disliked. Thanks for letting us know that you will not be around, but you are not leaving.

@JudyEv I have no patience at all for those games. Judy, the photo glitch has been fixed, we can post photos again.

@LadyDuck Isn't it marvellous? I'm so happy. I won't have to force myself so much to write now.

I can solve one and sometimes, two, sides of a Rubik Cube but I'll never be able to solve the entire thing... It's not the type of puzzle that I'm interested in playing with. I hope, where ever you're going, that you enjoy yourself.

Thanks for the good wishes. After being stymied by the cube for a few hours, I lost interest too. lol

I found it very frustrating so kept well clear of Rubik's cubes after the first few tries.

I have tried to solve Rubik's cube and it was harder than trying to convert the 7 and 10 split in bowling.

I used to be able to solve it - but I memorized the whole solution book

. My son can solve it now too, but he found a faster solution through YouTube. Blindfolded - I can't even imagine how that works

That's sound like a whole lot of memorising to do! These guys were incredibly fast. Quite mind-boggling.

No. I never could. I had to learn the solution step by step. I remember at school some people were amazingly good at it. And most of them were not the 'clever' kids either. Obviously it requires some other skill than what is conventionally regarded as intelligence.

@JudyEv They might have been good at maths if they had had the right teacher (but we never had a maths teacher who could lead us into that world).

I think I managed to get it out once. You're quite possibly right about needing a special skill. I wonder what else those kids would be good at.

The thing about Rubik's cube is that once you know how to follow the formula, you just know how to do it forever, so I feel like it only has playability up to that point. I guess that's why people then do stuff like speed-solving and blind solving -- they're trying to add that challenge back in to keep it from being boring. I don't really know the formula because I didn't care enough about it to put in the time, so I can solve two sides, and that's about the best I can do.

I have never once solved a Rubik's cube and have no desire to ever try again. That thing confounds me. As for your short hiatus, I hope it's for fun. Have a good time and we'll catch you on the other side of it.
