Don't worry, one of the consequences of solving larger than standard cubes is that you know the "parity" situations and they are easy to fix :)

No if I twist one of the corners ;)

 

Used to have pyramid ones, dodecahedron ones, snake ones etc - don't think I've even touched one since primary school though.

One of the boys randomly asked for one last week so I figured I'd get it for him. 

 

I messed it up this morning to show him how to use it but I couldn't get it back to the start again. 

 

I'll be using that link more than once! 

 

Haha see what happens when you try to solve one with an ad blocker in use.

There was a "cheat sheet/booklet" that got passed round end of the 70's, start or the 80's - ruined it for us "true" cubers

Lol Rab. It only came out in it's first form in 1980. But you're right, it did come with a how to solve it sheet.

Was definitely primary school, grade 4??  - Think I went to highschool in 82, so 80'd be about right

 

They didn't come with a "how to solve sheet" - was something that got passed round, a lifetime later (in 10yo time) - copy of a copy of a copy - along the lines of the fax chain-mails that used to happen.

 

Was at least 6 months before the "crack" got passed around lol

Yeah, official Rubik's brand ones came with a guide. I know too much about this sort of thing as I just happened to find it all out as I was into the "forum" (so to speak). Of course I wasn't even alive in 1980 :)
