Twisty Puzzles/Rubik's Cubes

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else on here love doing twisty puzzles/rubik's cubes?

I used to when I was younger. I had quite a few of them.

I hated rubiks cubes. I could never solve them.

I couldn't solve them either but I still like to play with them.

Actually I used to pull them apart.

Do you have the regular 3x3x3, or do you have different types of twisty puzzles?

I had all these. I liked the twist one best because I could make all kinds of shapes out of it.

I have never had the last two. I have 21 different ones at the time, one of them being the original 3x3x3 that you posted in the first picture. I have actually thought about getting the one in the last picture. It looks completely different from any I have.

I didn't even know they still made them to be honest. I had mine in the early 80's.

Well, Rubik's brand is still putting out puzzles, though I don't know all the types they have. I guess other companies took Rubik's main idea of twisty puzzles and worked off of that. Now there are so many different brands out there. There are 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, and so on, all the way up to 11x11x11 or higher. There is a puzzled called the Petaminx which is a Dodecahedron shaped puzzle. You should look up the Smaz Time Machine and the Petaminx. They'll blow your mind.

I liked playing jigsaw puzzles.

I also liked those puzzles where you slid tiles up and down until a coherent image was formed.

Rubik's cubes were demonstrably difficult for me and I could never solve them.

I also played twisty metal puzzles you'd find in bookstores and hobby shops. Those were fun.

Cheaper ones like this you could sometimes rearrange the stickers to cheat and pretend like you'd solved it. lol

I suppose they're useful if you want to stop biting your nails.

I them they are so much fun!! !!

I love cubing

I still remember the craze with those cubes in the 80s. They even made a cartoon about it. Because back then whenever anything was popular, it was made into a cartoon. And like most 80's cartoons, it stunk.

I only have my own solution for Rubik's cube. It's called Lostonearth's Hammer, and I use it to smash up the obnoxious cube while humming the "hammer music" from Donkey Kong.
