Sonic Youth Gossip - View Single Post - People that can solve rubix cubes really fast

A pyramid shape made up of 4 equilateral triangles, each chopped into 9 rotating segments. This puzzle is not quite as hard as the Rubik's Cube, but it is still equally as entertaining.

I could solve the Pyraminx by Tomy (above) easily. It's fun.
I finally did solve Alexander's Star, a dodecahedron puzzle (below), too.

I never did solve Rubik's Cube (without removing the blocks). I'm guessing though that I could do it now if I had one still.

I had the Missing Link and Rubik's Snake thing (below) also. (and several smaller 'snake' knock-offs).
Hey, it was the '80s puzzle craze. I recommend any of these as excellent toys.

Check out the 4x4 and 5x5 Rubik's mutants in the pic below...talk about unsolvable!
