I have a rubic's cube. (it was created by a guy named Rubic)
I got as far as having one side at one color and one row the same, but never got any further.
One time i got kinda pissed on the thing and ripped off all the colors and placed them on the right spot. Now my rubic's cube is the same on all sides and rotting away is some closet.
i might give it another shot someday though.

You mean if i think they can be done? Of course, there even a special technique that alows you too finish it in a couple of simple moves.
The guy who invented it, Rubic, finished it himself after 5 months or so.

He! That reminds me of a joke; "I am Rubix of Borg, and the Cube was MY idea!"

It took me a couple of years to do it. Not that I was doing it 24/7 but it did take a long time.

It took me a week non stop to do one... and I had a cheat book 
They're all possible... just very difficult.

I hate them, I never finished one. Used to have one when I was little, but I gave up pretty soon.

Well, there is just a special technique that allows you too finish the Cube at once, doesn't matter how much its mixed up. Of course, when you buy the cube all colors are in the right place, so you know its possible too make it complete again after you mix it up.
But its also possible that if you have 4 sides done 2 sides are still mixed up. then its very, very hard too get those 2 in order again.
I always wanted to change the places of 2 colors, that way the Cube is unsolvable  , and nobody notices it!

If you move around the stickers then they don't work properly any more. One of my friends' mums can do them.
When I went to france for the first time I got a mini one in a candy thing and I tried twisting it and it exploded into lots of little pieces.

I used the cheat book because I was getting frustrated with it... and it still took me a week Ah well

A friend of mine (long ago) could get one into a special state (he never told me the trick), and from there he would just do a set pattern of moves over and over (even with his eyes closed). It usually took him from 10 to 45 minutes to get it into the special state and about 15 minutes to get from the special state to finished. At about 10 moves from finished it still looked totally scrambled.

I knew someone who said that there was no way in the entire universe that anyone could solve the Rubix Cube - he said it was impossible.

There are different ones that arn't cubes! There is one and its flat and there are 3 loops and you have to make the loops join
This isn't the one I was talkiong about but it just shows you that they do have diff ones!
