Rubik's Cube


Do you know how to play a Rubik's Cube? Let me tell you...
In the beginning, it's frustrating.. irritating.. annoying.. everything along that line...

But once you manage to fix it, you start to feel the fun.
I've manage to fix it a couple of time. In the beginning it took few days to complete, but as I progress on, it gets better. Oh yea, the first time I finished it, this is what my 9 years old cousin tells me... "so your IQ has increased?"... >.<" I was speechless. If you wondered why he said that, it's because there's talk about how only people with higher IQ are able to fix it. I beg to differ. I think it takes more logic than IQ to fix it.

Funny thing is, I still don't get the algorithms. I just fix it as I think it should be. From trial & error, I only know that once you get all the 8 corner pieces right, you're halfway there, almost done.

There is a really old Rubik's cube sitting in my house, all these years - messed up. I finally fixed it up last night. By fixing it, I don't mean I dismantle it. I still do not know how to dismantle it.

ps: the rubik's cube in the pic does not belong to me. My aunt bought it for me cousin @ Toys 'R Us, costing nearly RM30. I recently read that you can get in Jonker (Malacca) for RM2! The price difference is that HUGE!
