Rubik's Cube Thread

[igotrhythm]

My parents gave me a cube when I was 11 or so with the expectation that "you're bright enough, you can probably solve this". Ten years and more passed with that thing proving impenetrable, until I finally did a Youtube search and found out about Dan Brown.

For me, it wasn't about the whole competitive aspect, merely being able to solve a problem that had vexed me for a long time, and no doubt torments many others in the same way. I still get infuriated when people shuffle my cube, because then I have to solve it again.
