Rubik-ation


Guess what swept our classroom by storm this past month. It’s not any movie star or the latest fashion items, not even the newest published book or the just-released music album. It is this four-sided cube composing of four different colors, four rows and four columns. I’ll give you a clue: the mechanism of playing is that one has to arrange all the scattered four colors from the four rows and columns by making sure that same colors stay on the same side. Ring any bell? Ya, it’s Rubik’s cube.

More than 50% of our class’ population is addicted into this cube. From everywhere you look, even at the corners of the class, whether there is doctor or not, you can observe an individual enthralled by the magic of solving the puzzle. I belong to those less than 50 percent who were spared by the spell of Rubik’s cube. I want to learn albeit seeing my classmates wrinkling their foreheads and their eyes almost popping from their orbital sacs from figuring out how to place a single color from where it belongs without disturbing other colors made me back off. Heheh.. Cellphone na lang kinakalikot ko.

Pareho lang din un.. haha. masubukan nga din ang rubik's cube na yan. Naalala ko napanood ko sa youtube, for more or less 7 seconds - nassolve kagad ang rubik's. ehehe.

actually, kung mags-spend ka talaga ng time to memorize the steps, kahit siguro naka-blindfold ka maso-solve mo siya in less than a minute. kaso, mbetangen kawn a daan bago mo ma-memorize ang steps at saka nakakalito siya.
