The Day With the Victory

WOOHOO! Get in!

No, it isn’t a new cube. And no, I didn’t pull off the bloody stickers. Perseverance, baby – that’s all you need! Well, that and an insane amount of farce, luck and numerous online guides. (Look, it’s not cheating – Stephen Hawkings himself would struggle to organically solve this motherfucking thing. And considering most of the tutorials I found were more complex than the cube itself, it’s still a feat and – cheat or not – I’m chuffed, ‘k?)

Next step – to memorise! This – along with my dancing matchsticks – has to be my new party piece.

Edit: My hands do not look like the small, dainty affairs I’ve always envisaged them to be. The words ‘sausage’ and ‘fingers’ spring to mind. Hmm.

    I don’t believe you. I want photographic proof.

    Heh @ your fingers. When I was ill in hospital earlier this year, the nurse commented on my fingers.

    Her: “You’re fingers are very swollen. It will go down after the meds.”

    Me: “No love, it’s how they normally look. It’s just my throat which is engorged.”

    Well done BTW.

    Can’t believe you conquered it – I’m still trying to solve the Bedlam Cube I got when I was 7… :(

    I’ve done it three times now, each time trying to remember more steps as I go along!
