remember that craze from the earlier 80's

did you manage to complete it??..............or like me just take all the stickers off and cheat

 

i still got one

and no i never did it

 

cor now ya showing ya age

 

Same as you Gaz changed the stickers after hours of head scratching LOL

 

it was like it was yesterday

 

 

or what some others did and dismantled the thing dammed if could get the fucker back together proberly again

 

lol nikki dont say things like that i might rember how old i realy am

gaz i use to do that could never get the last bit back in tho

 

tell me bout it-those guys made an absolute fortune out of that

 

I cheated too :'(

Gaz you been looking in the new Snap On calendar or summink? Or is this a proper "random" thread?

 

random thread m8-saw that thread bout spectrum etc and it brought back memories of another 80's gadget in the cube

 

i used to do it in about 25secs my bro was quicker though

 

What about the Rubix Magic??

The flat thing with the 3 rings?? I still got one and YES i can complete it!!!

You had to turn it from this.............



to this............................



Oh and i had this to....................

The Rubix Clock

 

I could never figure out how to do a rubix cube without cheating... The amount of times i tried and wnded up launching it across the room!

 

Rubix Magic is a peice of piss! There is only one solution lol
Ive still got a clock and thats near impossible

 

Had to cheat on the cube

Was only 1 lad at school who could do it but he was as soft as .... so ended up doing everyones when we f**ked em up

 

What was the name of that other Rubix Magic game? It had 5 circles instead of the 3.

 

i partially blame the rubix cube for how ive turned out in later life

Yep !!
Had one & was a around a one minute operator.
Depending on the Random position it took between 37 & 60 moves to complete. The world record was crazy meaning 3 moves a second, no idea how that was done. Practised it daily & was considered fast.
Thats shows how sad I was but also how competative. Much the same as now.
Wonder how my addled brain would cope now.

Hi

I could do it in about 6 mins but recently I had a go of one in a shop and had no idea, too long ago to remember I gave it to my kids to have a go at and they spent all of 1 min looking at it and said " What on Earth is this weird thing mum"?

 

remember them rings thingy....god that used to be well difficult

 

rubics magic was the tits and there was loads of things ya could do with it, wasnt JUST that 3 rings in that shape, ya could also join the rings in a line too


rubics magic was fooking hard, in the end most of my colours had fell off from CONSTANTLY cheating

 

yeah i dismantled my 1 too

 

Gaz. I can do it mate. I see you live on planet earth. . . so do i ! If ya wanna pop round, i'll show ya mate !

 

We had a small rubix cube that had half the stickers missing anyway! Remember dad bringing a bigger one home from work during the holidays. I think it had less blocks and bigger stickers. Couldnt do either. Not quite sure what market they were aimed at!

 

I could do it its simple realy once your know.


I could do it know under 10 min

 

bet ya wont admit that to a bird though

that statment to me screams " bever had much luck with women when i was younger"

can ya tell im jealous

 

I got a book how to do it

so I cheated

 

Could do the magic one but like most people cheated on the cube
