I remember the episode in “Taxi”…

“Oh look, you solved your Rubik’s cube!”

“Yeah, I pulled all of those little stickers off and put them back on where they oughta be.”

Cool. I just got a promotional one a couple months ago. Had forgotten completely how I used to solve it so I had to start from scratch.

Nice thing about this one is that there’s printing on each side that means I have to work on lining up each center with the rest of the side. Sol. time 3-6 minutes.

How about from Silver Spoons?

“I finally Figured it out!”

“That’s great dad! How do you do it!”

“Well we just come over here to the deck . . . open the door . . . hold the cube up into the sunlight. . . AND THEN THROW IT AS HARD AS YOU CAN. . . . Good evening, son. I’m going to go get some sleep for the first time in 3 days.”

Ahhh, back when Ricky Schroder was down with Michael Jackson . .
