My friend got one for her birthday and was overjoyed to find the "solution" included. She jumbled it up and then followed the solution to solve it.
I don't understand where the fun or challenge is in that. To me it's like doing a crossword by just transcribing the answers from an answer sheet.
We live in such a strange world where we gift "achievement" for little effort and nobody is ever stretched or left disappointed by failure (leading to a will to try harder).
And then we belittle the achievements by reinforcing how things have become easier (exams, for instance). I would hate to be a 16-year old in the world today. They are being failed by a generation that wants them to think they have everything, when really they're given nothing.
Is it normal that I'm addicted to rubiks cubes?
