i got a rubiks cube about two weeks ago, just cause eli and oskar play with one in the novel, and ive learned how to solve it and its actually really fun ....
my average solve time is about 2 minutes ...
so now im wondering, how many of you here got a rubik's cube cause of oskar and eli?
and how many of you can solve it ?

anyway just wanted to say its a really great puzzle ...

I had one in the 80's (it kind of dates me) I hated that thing, I could never solve it.

I can't remeber what I did with it.
But I did see one that was 5x5 instead 3x3 last week.

I'd considered getting one due to renewed curiosity after seeing the film, but I have yet to actually pursue it. I'd also considered an even cooler memento for the film... A candle made to resemble a rubik's cube! There is a custom candle factory about an hour from where I live and the guy said he could make just about anything a person dared to imagine and that was the first thing to pop into my head. I also have yet to pursue that.

I've got one in my office, but it's never been scrambled.

I got one in 1980 or -81, that I still have on my shelf. I've no idea if it's genuine or not. Anyway, I didn't get it because of LTROI.

I skipped getting one in 1980 - it was very popular at the university back then - but since I was already doing a good job wasting my time, I kept from getting one.

And I still don't got any.

I got one when I was a kid in the 80's and I broke it of course(I broke everything). When I saw the film I felt the urge to buy one again and I did. My solving time varies between 40 seconds and 2 minutes. I took pictures of the first few times I solved the thing.
I also have a small rubiks cube keychain.

40 seconds is pretty good , do you use the beginners method?
Just curious cause i don't understand the other methods at all ...
