a little blog to share my love of puzzles, particularly (at this time) with Rubiks-style cube puzzles...
Why Rubiks?
Until my current deployment to Afghanistan, I'd only ever tried to get one side of the cube, as quickly as I could, and only once did I get even two sides at the same time. I had a breakthrough to the next step while I was out here, and there was someone willing to show me the remaining steps to solve the 3x3x3 cube. Once I got the hang of that one, I moved up to a 5x5x5, and learned a couple of new tricks for the larger cubes. I taught myself the 7x7x7, and then started making designs to give a bit of a challenge. Here, for those who wish to take the time to view, are the results. Enjoy! :)

Roulette Wheel IQ Cube
This was the birthday present my wife bought for me this year. Looking at it online, I thought I'd figured out a way to solve it, but I failed to take into consideration two things: 1) it's a 2x2x2 cube, which I haven't attempted yet, and 2) those dials are way more diabolical than I'd anticipated. We'll see how long it takes me. :)
