Rubik's cubes are back and I really don't want to have to learn how to do the bottom layer. In fact, I've tried a couple of times this evening and I just need YOU. You were the one who could do these damned things in under 40 seconds. YOU are the man for this moment. But we are not on the same continent.
Which is annoying.
This is the perfect opportunity for me to off-load the boys onto their uncles for a while... and I can't do it. Or the damned cube.
O brother, where art thou!!
(I wonder if George Clooney or Odysseus would be able to do the Rubik's cube??)

Turn the top layer (or the bottom layer, or a side layer, it doesn't matter, through 45 degrees so it's at an angle to the rest of the cube. Insert a screwdriver, small knife or other similar object between the middle block of one side of the angled side and the rest of the cube, and pry out this piece. The cube should fall apart.
You can then reassemble it.
This usually takes more than 40 seconds, and should really be done while nobody is looking.
Then, you can display the cube with an astonishing "tadah!" and be cheerily impressed when someone immediately grabs it, messes it up and passes it back with a cry of "do it again."
Alan Taylor, may you be forgiven!!
I am with you mum! A shocking comment!
