UPDATE: Rubik's Cube completed!



... but not by me! Here's the scoop, from Captivate's own Jacqui Pini, who runs our Indulge blog:

I finally solved the Rubik’s Cube.

It is totally a toy of the 80s and I think that is the last time I saw a Rubik’s Cube so when Amber gave me the challenge I assumed I’d figure it out on my own. When that proved to be too difficult I turned to the guide book. Even that was tricky. One wrong move and you’re back to step one. The turn-by-turn instructions are great, but there is plenty of trial and error. At one point there was a knock on my front door … and then it was back to step one as I completely forgot where I was.

I am embarrassed to say how long it too me to solve it, but I am going to guess I worked on it on and off for 3 hours. Even my fiancé was telling me to take a rest, but I was addicted. I had to finish it. If I started over, I know I could get it in about 20 minutes because I completely understand all the steps.

If it has been a while since you’ve used a Rubik’s Cube I highly recommend you pick one up. It is a good workout for your brain and definitely fun to take on an airplane or somewhere you will not be easily distracted. I am going to keep up with it until I can do it with no instructions. Next move … I play dumb and bet people I cannot solve it!

Ugh -- I'm so jealous, Jacqui! Stupid thing ... Too hard! But, Jacqui proved it can be done, and that Rubik's new promotion does actually work. Well done! Maybe I'll try it again.

Oh no. Does this mean I actually have to make that Rubik's Cube cake (previous post)?? Son of a...
