I used to like to try, now it just drives me crazy. I will be interested to see what next generation thinks of it.

I learned how to solve them back in the day, I'm not sure if I could do it now. I've seen them making a comeback. What impresses me are the speed contests. Who can solve it the fastest. And these guys who can solve it with their eyes closed. It's amazing. [HighPriestess]
The mind is a terrible thing it is just repetition easy just fast [msqtech]
My sister could solve the puzzle. It frustrated the heck out of me. Now there is a commercial with some guy blindfolded and solving the puzzle. That is just crazy. [ElusiveButterfly]
you know thats just got to be TV I dont think the guy does that himself? what do you think. [hoghoney]
your mind will be twist, trying to solve this puzzle. ive tried this before, im just quite excited about it's comeback. [bev_arch_20]
Its so hard, I never managed to complete it. The best I got was 2 sides done at the same time. But once I was bet i gouldnt do it so took all the sides off with a knife and placed them in the rights spaces, 10 minutes work and Ģ10 richer :) [matt575]
i never got into the rubic's cube, because if i started it and i would get so fraustrated that it would put me in a bad mood for like a week. so i just do not look at it. [missyd79]
I have many times when I was in the hospital I was given one it helped pass the time [msqtech]
I used to try to master it, but I could never get the hang out it. I could only get like one side or if I'm lucky two sides, then I get frustrated and give up lol. [rmuxagirl]
I never managed to grasp how anyone can manage to work it out. I found that I could manage to make a side or two but doing all the sides with one colour it is quite a difficult task. I used to spend useless hours in vain trying to figure it out. [ronaldinu]
Those things drove me crazy when I was little. I got so irritated with it that I took all the stickers off and put them back to where they were all together. I think that is the only way they should sell it again. Make sure the stickers are removable. Because it they are not, then there will be a lot thtown away from not being able to solve it. LOL My uncle could do it though! I have no clue how he ws able to do it! He would give it to a person to mess it up and then he would solve it right in front of that person. LOL It was pretty cool! [brokentia]
I used to play it all throughout my childhood, and I was never able to solve it. To this day, no matter how close I thought I got to solving it, you think you got it on one side then you turn it around to the other side and the colors are all mixed again, that's when I just had enough and give up. My little sister who is 14 yrs old gets all the colors in order so fast, but I don't know how she does it; I have no clue. [luv_my_life]
Its the craziest thing i have ever seen.... I have never been able to solve it... It looks cilourful... but once you lay your hands on it...you'l turn Blace & white for a week.. It surely lives up to its name...Horror... The Hungarian Horror...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody 'donate' tips on solving it so that my life also becomes colorful on solving it....! LOL.. [nash2060]
Even its an old one. Its always on the market. They say that it helps become a better problem solver. I watch an episode of beauty and the geek and one geek made that as his talent. [dianagaddi]
This thing is really tough to solve specialy if you try to figure it out by your self. I never finished it completely allways the last row was missing. I havenīt had the cube for years in my hands but i remember how popular this thing was enen in tv shows. [Lewah69]
I used to be able to but that was many years ago. [bigstret]
I have tried a lot and also i have succeded so many times. It is so easy to find the solution and win the game. [vekyengineer]
dont never try to take the colors off and put them back on to get it the same color because it dont work that way. LOL. [hoghoney]
i used to enjoy trying it.... and to be frank wasnt sucessful and so i cheated... i broke open it and fixed it order... the pices just comes out without any damage... its really fun showing others i completed it.... [oxygenton]
My brother had a Rubik's Cube when they first came out, so I did have a few goes at it. I actually managed to complete it once, although it was certainly more luck than judgement and I have no idea how to do it again. [Asylum]
I can not solve them, but I am learning the moves so you can. A guy at work is teaching me. It takes him only about 10 minutes to solve it. I watched him solve it while on a telephone conversation with a customer. The guy is ligthning quick at it. If you want do a google search on the thing, there are plenty of websites out there where you can enter the current state of your cube and it will tell you the moves to do in order to solve it. [medooley]
I used Rubic Cube 20 years ago..:) I learnt from the tutorials in the magazine... So You can see for some easy and hard combination how to resolve it...:) [stonehr]
I bought the cube about a year ago, and was initially quite frustrated because I messed up the whole cube and can't seem to even get close in solving 2nd or 3rd layer. Nowadays, I seem to enjoy in solving this little cube thing, as I found out the importance of matching the adjacent colors to the center piece of each side. That means you have to solve two color of a piece at one go. Seeing a pattern developing is fun i guess. And yea bingo, I'm able to solve it though its not very fast because I don't actually bother to remember the possible combinations of the cube. [yappyjc]
