Rubik's Cube

Once upon a time, my Dad, my Uncle, and me were wandering down the street when we came across this guy demonstrating how to solve a new puzzle - the Rubik's cube. He sold us a couple of cubes and a solution book. We all went home and memorized how to solve it.

A few weeks ago, a work collegue brought his Rubik's cube into the office telling a story of how some person had broken the world record for solving the cube. My work collegue used to be able to solve the cube himself but could only remember how to do the first two layers. I picked up the cube and could only do the first two layers myself.

So I had to find out how to solve it without resorting to the picture above, so performed a search on the internet using Google. There is some really great stuff out there about the cube. If you are interested take a look at the following sites:

Dan's Cube Station

Joel's Speedcubing Site

My record at the moment is just over 2 minutes. I am hoping that soon I will be able to bring that down to under 1 minute and eventually down to under 30 seconds.

Happy speed cubing!!!

Back Online

Hi everyone,

Well it has been a while since my last post. I have been offline while I moved house. Now I am back online with AAPT. The phone companies make it really hard to try and compare plans. One company will give you $10 off you internet when you bundle the phone and another will give you 1 in every 3 months free. It is nearly impossible to know what is best. In the end I went with AAPT because they didn't lock me into a contract. Most other companies wanted me to sign up for between 1 and 2 years.


Hopefully I'll start writing a few more entries more regularly now.
