After 40 Years, They’re Back . . .

After 40 Years, They’re Back . . .
Landon, et. al., started out Spring Break with breakfast at IHOP yesterday, playing with his Rubik’s Cube. He also had it last weekend when we met them at Pho Barr up in Katy. It’s the first time I’ve seen one in years, but apparently they’re back in style.
They were all the rage back in the early 80’s when I was at NASA-JSC, and I had 2 or 3, including one of the tiny ones that was only about 1” square. It took me about two weeks to learn one of the algorithms to solve a cube from any starting position. In fact, once you know the procedure, you can do any cube blindfolded.
We can across this photo of my Cutie, one that she doesn’t remember ever seeing before.
She looks about 18 months old, so it was probably taken in Kentucky.
Just as cute as ever.
