There's a trick to it. If you want to learn search on youtube for tutorials.

Just because I'm in a pedantic mood, it's called a Rubik's Cube.

I learned how to do the cube in 1980 from a book (which I still have...it was called 'You too can do the Cube' or something like it and was written by a self-taught, very spoddy looking teenager called Patrick Bossert.)

I was 7 at the time.  I would then charge kids at school 10p each for doing their cubes at break time.  Truly one of Thatcher's children.

Any old idiot can learn to solve a rubik's cube. Give me a solved one and I can properly fuck it up well quickly.

There's an app you can get for the iPhone. You take pictures of all six sides of the cube, then it analyses it and tells you how to solve it. Its about the only chance I'd ever have of solving that damn thing, never managed it once as a kid.

Never tried to do it, but almost bought a book on how to do it, simply because i have a small cock and i wanted to increase my superiority complex.

I had one, tried for about 2 minutes to solve it, then spent 5 minutes throwing it at walls to break it.

Very satisfying.

I learned to do it at school. The Mrs bought me one a few Christmas's ago and i was really suprosed that 20 odd years later I could still do the bloody thing.
