Rubik Cube

I got quite interested in posting up about the Rubik cube that I mentioned in the tag I’ve done not too long ago, after reading a recent post by Deady. I’ll be bringing you down my memory lane for a bit, back to the time when I first learned how to complete the riddle box. It’s only been one year though, right in the middle of my SPM year.

It all began with a person; he’s the one who teaches all the others, and the ones he teaches spread his teachings. He is the Master of all the other Masters. The fastest too without doubt, among us. The funny thing is, he learned it from the Youtube! Anyway, it spreads from a person to another person, from class to class, from dorm to dorm; it spreads so fast, it’s becoming a pandemic.

And finally everyone in the whole batch were infected, whether they could actually solve the Rubik cube or at least have the basic knowledge about it. By some tough luck, I become the one who brought the virus into my class. Well, I’m not the only one to be blamed as there’re a few others who had also mastered it.

It took me a full three days to completely memorized all the formulas and another few days to totally mastered the Way of The Cube. From merely more than 5 minutes, I managed to narrow it down to 3, and now my fastest record is 1 minutes and 30 seconds. Not an easy feat, I tell you. By the way, the world record is 7.08 seconds, by some guy from Netherlands. Looking by how things are, I still have a way ahead of me.

You could learn how to solve it here, or watch the world record here.

On a side note, it’s approximately only one month left before my departure to Egypt and I’m in a state of panic now. I still didn't prepare anything that I need to bring there and the list of things that I wish to do before going is no where near complete. There are just so many things to do, so little time...
