Even for a speed cuber that's impressive

I just bought the 'training set' of two junior cubes and one regular for both fidgeting and also working on logic skills.

Don’t bring me down.

That wouldn’t have made sense at the time. I get why they do it now, but it would’ve been counterproductive in the 80s.

I owned this book! It was super helpful 😆

I'm 50 and I just learned how to solve it last week while on vacation. I would like to thank my wife for her patience and my kid for leaving me alone.

The Rubik's Cube was the top selling toy in the UK in 1980, and 1981. For a few it was a puzzle to be solved. To many it was a fidget spinner. We'd just aimlessly spin hoping we'd randomly get somewhere with it.

I remember there even being a Saturday Morning Cartoon.

One of my son's HS friends was a speed cuber. I watched him solve one in like 5 or 6 seconds

Middle school teacher here, Rubik's cubes are always phasing in and out of popularity. Right now, kinda in, but not nearly as much as chess lol.

Yes, I've found a few channels with full episodes, some interesting discussions on it.

I saw one recently where the girl from the "Go to bed, Jessica" PSA video called them.

Ronald Reagan.
