When I was in China back in February, my cousin's 10-yr old grandson Li gave me a 3x3 Rubik's cube as a gift. It was lined up so perfectly for all 6 sides and was placed in a fancy plastic box.
Little
Li is one of the top cube players in his elementary school. He used his
cube to show me all the patterns and moves - so elegant and smooth; so
fast and incomprehensible... Apparently, all these patterns and moves
need to be memorized. I showed real interest while watching his quick
hand moves, asked adequate questions, and promised to study it when I
have time.
It's been 56
days since I got back home. Today, I made time to study the cube. I
considered it as a great opportunity to CHALLENGE myself; to beef up my
"declining" learning capabilities; and to start a new memory exercise.
Wow, it took me over 3 hours to learn from scratch, and finally, I MADE
it!!
My goal is to practice
it often; fully memorize all correct moves; and improve speed. Once I
can master all above, I'll record my performance and send it back to
little Li, my cube teacher -:))
