Adventures in Amanda-land: Earning the Nerd Badge: Rubik’s Cube Lessons

Posted on May 3, 2013 by Amanda Geisinger

Given my strong aversion to puzzles and even stronger aversion to squares {shudder}, it is no small testament to the patience of my friend Darbie that I could be taught to solve a puzzle made entirely of squares. Thanks to her good-humored training, I can do it in about three—four minutes, and it’s a nerd skill I will cherish forever. Or at least until I forget the mind-boggling sequence of semi-random-square-manipulating-mayhem it entails.
