Just saw a 'toys from the 80s' program

No1 was the rubiks cube.

OK, who could solve it, or still can.

I could never solve it, but some of the kids at school could do it in minutes

I've got a cheapo £1 imitation. I can solve it in minutes. It's all about the "daisy pattern"...

Now...get a ZX Spectrum emulator (Speccy will do) and try "The Great Escape".

I still can't complete that fucking game!

There’s a method to solving it I think isn’t there, like proper instructions. That’s how the “clever” kids did it, just memorised the formula.

I never did, I could get two sides done but not the rest!

Yes, but they were probably beaten up with great regularity.

It's in the same league as Frankie Goes To Hollywood! Almost impossible to complete.

Once you learn how to put the stickers back on so they look like they’ve not been removed, it’s easy as pie

I know someone who can do them blindfolded in under a minute. I have one in plain sight of me now, but I've never finished it.

Unless it involved strategically removing and replacing the stickers on the original cubes, then no

There are lots……I know one, but it’s long winded, so I’m no speed solver.

Never could do it. Still can't. Didn't really try very hard as couldn't work our where to start. Would just twirl it round a few times and get bored.

Only done it once, complete fluke.

Used to use it like a stress ball and just turn whilst watching tv. After 10/12 years, me mam yelled ‘stop’ and that was that, solved…. all for two minutes until I messed it up again.

Still have one in the house and get it out occasionally.

This is quite funny as I found one in a vehicle at work the other day and thought it would occupy my son as he’d just had his arm broken at school.

He finished in a matter of minutes.

I have never been able to do them and still can’t

My record when I was 14, was 37 seconds. Like most things in life, it takes considerably longer now.

First adopted the sticker method. Progressed to dismantling the cube and rebuilding as solved.

Finally after many years, read an internet guide and solved it properly. Hollow victory

I can do it in just over a minute. There are a few basic patterns to learn and once you get them then you can solve easily.
