Rubik's Cube Record

It took Graham Parker 26 years to finally solve the Rubik's Cube he bought back in 1983. If you can't tell by the picture, he's really proud of himself.
'I cannot tell you what a relief it was to finally solve it,' the 45-year-old from Portchester, Hampshire, said. 'It has driven me mad over the years - it felt like it had taken over my life.

'I have missed important events to stay in and solve it and I would lie awake at night thinking about it.

'I have had wrist and back problems from spending hours on it but it was all worth it. When I clicked that last bit into place and each face was a solid colour, I wept.'





PARDUBICE, Czech Republic-- Erik Akkersdijk, 18, solved a standard 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube in 7.08 seconds at the Czech Open, setting the world record for the Fastest time for solving the Rubik's Cube.


So I have to confess when I first came across this I wanted to label it ....
Dumbshit and Brilliant.
But then I realized I would be in the former category,
So my new commentary is...
As long as you solve a problem it's all good.
