Rubiks Revenge

Rubiks Revenge

I picked up this little 4x4x4 beauty, in original packaging, in retro antiques boutique Cream and Chrome in St Nickolas Market, Bristol, this week. Shown with my original childhood 3x3x3 cube for comparison. The stickers on my old one are slightly wonky in places from an early attempt at solving it, before I leant how to take it apart, and before I lean t to do it properly.

I leant the skill from a copy of James Nourse's brilliant book The Simple Solution to Rubik's Cube, found in a jumble sale in St Aldhelm's church on Chessel St, Bedminster as I remember. I probably only paid 10p for it. It's 25 quid on Amazon now. That's a better investment than finding a copy of the first ever Doctor Who annual for 10p at a similar sale. I doubt you'd find bargains like that these days. It seems Car Boot sales made profiteers out of many people and now eBay has taken care of the rest of us.
[None of these items are for sale.]
