When our oldest grandson, Jared was just 9 years old he received his first Rubik’s Cube. His Uncle Brad told him about algorithms and gave pointers on how to solve this challenging puzzle. He spent two weeks doing little else but practicing the steps required to solve the puzzle quicker than his uncles. It has been a few years but he can still complete the puzzle
in less than 2 minutes.

I am a person that dose not want to give up on something like that – but it beat me. 🙂
I meant even not blindfolded if that was confusing. I should have re-read that before I hit post.
I never did more than two sides at a time. I saw a boy on tv who could look at all six sides and then be blindfolded and solve it. I think it's amazing for anyone to solve it, even not! Good job for your grandson! I love that you showed the video for the Show and Tell.
I like your new header and layout. I hadn't seen it yet.

Amazing! What a great video. Thank you for sharing it with us. I could never quite figure them out – close but not close enough! My sons both managed to figure them out though so I lived vicariously through their efforts!

My son was the only one in our family that could do it. Me? I'm still trying to figure it out.
