The colors on the Rubik's Cube Icon are white, silver, light gray, gray, dark gray, and black. It's the same as a standard 3x3x3, but essentially grayscale instead of the other color palette (white, blue, red, green, yellow, and orange)
I came up with a blog post idea the other day and decided that Sunday afternoon would be a good time to get it done. However, I was asleep for most of Sunday afternoon (I could make another blog post just about that, but this is not the time) so I went for Sunday evening instead.
I am NOT interested in a speed record. As you all know, I have 2 speeds- slow and backwards. I only put the clock in the background so that you could see that it really can be done and in a reasonable amount of time. In fact, not a single photo time span was uninterrupted. Besides solving the cubes, I straightened up the den a bit, sang some songs with Seth, dressed Kaitlyn after bath time, took the pictures, participated in various conversations with Beth, and generally fulfilled my normal Daddy Duties.
I'm also not trying to brag. I just wanted to showcase one of my Christmas presents. I'd be happy to teach anyone how to solve any of them- they're really not as difficult as they look. Just ask if you're interested.
Starting with all 3 cubes thoroughly mixed:
The Rubik's Professor is now "set up", which (to me) means the remaining solution is no harder than solving a 3x3x3.
The Rubik's Revenge is now "set up" as well.
I only meant to solve the top (white, in this case) faces in this picture, but I got a little excited and just about solved all of them. Sheesh. Anyway, all but the bottom layer is solved on all of them.
And, finally, the cubes are completely solved.
And here's a shot of the other sides, just so you don't think I pulled off all of the stickers just for the picture. ;-)

Sweet! I've never been able to do those. I remember breaking my dad's when I was small, and it was only the 3x3x3 kind! Maybe that's made me scared of them all this time...
I have a few boys who would love to know how to solve those things...heck I may even need to listen in...
Isaac got a Rubik's cube for Christmas, and David has been reading the directions and solving the cube. I think he's enjoyed it more than Isaac!
Clever title. I'm just waiting on someone to invent the "Rubiks Rhombus."
I am glad you have something to give yourself a little break from all the busy moment of your life. It is amazing though how it still is something that makes you work!
Guess it is fun work though.
