A little Rubik’s Cube Fun

September 20, 2008

One week ago, my 6 year-old cousin, Justin, bought me a Rubik’s cube after I saw him playing with one the week before. Determined to complete this famous enigma, I set about figuring out how to do it. After playing around with it for a while, this is how I went (photos taken with my 3g iPhone):

All messed up at the start

Gettine the white side first

Completing the T's

2 more rows done.

Finished!

Finished!

And there you go. Actually its taken me a few days to get it all figured out, but there’s a little skill I can now add to the collection :)

  1. wow~~ u played it too.. me too.. but i haven’t got all the colours correctly T.T guess need time to figure it out.. btw GooD luck for the tomolo game~~ Jia you!!!! :D


  2. Impressed. It is a pity tat I was not able to get all the colors right since very young. Btw, I’m also using a Mac laptop, but I dun have an iphone. Fight for the game 2moro. I dun think u need luck bcoz u have capability.


  3. Jenny is so observant.

    Since young, I’ve always been magically able to solve Rubik’s cube. The trick is to find a guy who feels he need to prove he is capable and pass it to him. JUST KIDDING!


  4. Hillary, u r so smart! Tat should b e correct way to solve it. Haha…


  5. Rubik’s cube? it’s something that really puzzled me when I was a young kid…I’ll be ver proud if i could complete 3 sides…I hated solving puzzles but I ended up working as an engineer…

    See you at the games tomorrow…just smile if my camera points at you. i’ll be there 1 hour before the game starts.


  6. Very funny Hillary…
    BTW Francis, did you receive my email? I sent thru a couple of times, but not sure you received.
    See you all at the game today


  7. Hi Darren….I just woke up…I worked until about 2am…will be sending you the photos in about an hour’s time…(its 9:32am..hehehe), and yes, I just read now your email. Hope you will like the photos and post them here on your blog.


  8. Thought that would take me an hour…I just sent photos. Hope you will like them


  9. Jenny, Hillary and Daphne…it was nice to see you…and Hillary, thanks for the lift. The game was fantastic and both teams played very well. But sad that Eric had a very bad fall. Got the action on cam, but didn’t capture his fall as I wanted to catch his head as it was going down first. Darren also had a bad fall, and got some bruise on his shoulder.

    Will see you again on the 30th for the game against Purefoods…its going to be another good game.


  10. hey francis it was good meeting u too! i’m so psyched for the next game.

    darren, can i have ur rubik cube? hahahaha. ok maybe not. how about i pass u one n u fix it for me (just taking up hil’s suggestion) and then i can tell everyone that darren ng of the slingers completed it hur hur hur.
