When I see a Rubik’s Cube I think of my ex-husband. He was a precision sheet metal worker and was responsible for the fabrication of some of the first metal parts found in the early Pong video game tables. He had the ability to look at any piece of flat material and bend it to any difficult specification.

In the early 70s our 4 year old son received a Rubik’s Cube as a gift. My husband picked it up, studied it for only a brief time, and then with a few quick twists he was the ruler of that colorful little cube. He could scramble and then unscramble it with ease. My solution was to peal off the color spots and then re-stick them. I was no competion for him.
