New-to-me Hobby

I can't say speedcubing is a new hobby because almost forty years ago there was a Rubik's cube contest at our neighborhood block party. My mom can solve it but I never learned.

At some point we ended up with this book, but I never read it.

I had been in a touch with a friend whose teenager is a speed cuber, which reminded me that I wanted to watch the documentary, Why We Cube | A Speedcubing Documentary.

We have at least two traditional cubes, which I used when I decided that
I was finally ready to put some time into the process of learning to solve it.

I followed along with this video and was amazed that it worked!

The traditional cube is slow and a bit difficult to manipulate. As a gift I received a speed cube, which is amazingly easy to spin. I don't think I will ever do it in under one minute, but my goal is to get under three.

Next up is reading Rubik's new book.
