The Rubix Cube.

I remember not that long ago, well it was actually a while ago but anyway... remember getting a rubix cube for my birthday or Christmas or some present giving occasion one year when I was just a little boy. I never really thought much of it, I mean, it was a thing from like the eighties (1956 - Charlotte Viner) and if I was bored I would play a video game or something. I never finished it, I don't even think I ever attempted it or anything like that, I just scrambled it a little bit every time that I saw it.

Recently, while I was sitting here on Facebook or something, Chris and Linou were over playing with my childhood toys, taking them out one by one and making them fight. As amusing as it was to watch, it was also a nice reminder of how rad the toys I have are. It was when Chris pulled out a rubix cube when I had the idea 'I am going to finish that thing'. Of coarse Chris, being the slightly mentally retarded person that he is tried to make the rubix cube fight Wolverine or something, I don't know if he knew what a rubix cube was but I think he thought it was some sort of fighting robot or something.

The point I am trying to make is not that Chris is slow, it is that I have a rubix cube, and not just any one, this is one that has never been solved, just scrambled for like ten years. The first thing I did was look at Youtube video's on how to solve rubix cubes. The very first one said that there are two ways to solve a rubix cube, the first being actually solving the rubix cube, which I thought was a pretty shitty way, but the other was that you can just pull it apart and rebuild it...I thought to myself 'what? You can do that?' I did just what the guy did, and tried to pull a piece off, after accomplishing nothing but getting teeth marks of frustration into multiple parts of my rubix cube, I scrolled down to have a look at the comments, the first one reading, 'yeh, u can only pull apart old ones, like the ones from the 80s n shit'...devastating...

So it was now clear that there was only one way to do this, the other way the guy said, actually doing it...or, I could use the third option which wasn't said in the video but I thought it was easy enough, finding someone that can actually do a rubix cube and make them do it for me.

As the how to video's on Youtube got more and more confusing, I gave up and searched for help. My search led me a friend of mine who I have already mentioned today, Charlotte Viner. Now, I didn't know if she was kidding or not when she said 'bring it in tomorrow and I'll do it for you' but let's just say that she wasn't...she has to be the best in the world at rubing (rubing is the art of completing rubix cubes, and in case your wandering, yes I did just make that up).

She solved my ten years worth of scrambling in like five minutes, then shuffled it and then solved it again...then people started playing with it and messing it up but she just kept on solving it...amazing. This one goes out to you Charlotte Viner, wherever you are...probably solving a rubix cube...
