More than one were thrown against walls. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-39604 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 23:30:59 +0000 wildfire 39604@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I figured out how to do the clock one but I could never get the cube. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11846 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 18:46:44 +0000 boffinbabe12 11846@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; Well they caught up with him on the programme and he looked normal enough... http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11843 Tue, 13 Mar 2007 18:44:19 +0000 trouser material 11843@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ That kid is probably still a virgin to this day. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_neutral.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-|&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11768 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 21:00:37 +0000 boffinbabe12 11768@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I just remembered that boy on swapshop who could do the cube in 30 seconds- that was amazing...... well when I say from swapshop, I was referring to the special that was on about a month ago 'It all started with swapshop'. it's not really my generation.... http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11720 Mon, 12 Mar 2007 06:22:28 +0000 AxmxZ 11720@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Update:<br /> <br /> It looks like my spatial visualization area of the brain is not absent, merely atrophied. After several aggregate hours of fiddling with the cube, an &quot;aha&quot; moment took place and, as of about half an hour ago, I can assemble one facet in about 2 minutes. I prefer doing the numbered black one, to get the up-down position of the individual squares correctly as well as placement within the larger square. What still eludes me entirely is how to assemble the other facets without constantly dissassembling and reassembling the ones you've already done... but I'm hoping it's just a matter of time now. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11616 Fri, 09 Mar 2007 17:10:34 +0000 boffinbabe12 11616@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I'm always bruised somewhere as I misjudge where the furniture is</blockquote><br /> I do that too! All the time! http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11597 Fri, 09 Mar 2007 00:55:32 +0000 joan 11597@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Throwing and catching? never could. I'm so unco-ordinated I never could drive a manual car. I'm always bruised somewhere as I misjudge where the furniture is.....and when i first get out of bed on a morning I bounce from hall wall to hall wall until i reach the loo. The cat flees in fear, and my husband pulls the bedclothes over his face in despair. But I'm a bit better when I wake up properly, and strangely enough, I could always ride a push bike. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11596 Fri, 09 Mar 2007 00:49:06 +0000 amlee 11596@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ I think it is amazing that I am able to walk for more than three metres without falling over.</blockquote><br /> <br /> That's something I struggle with constantly...

Throwing them back accurately is another matter. http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11584 Thu, 08 Mar 2007 23:28:40 +0000 amlee 11584@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Well I don't understand how I can play tennis as well as I can then because I have horrible hand eye coordination. Throw something at me and itll smack me right in the head. Unless theres a racket of some sort in my hand? Maybe I just have a horrible attention span. &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_biggrin.gif&quot; title=&quot;:-D&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; <br /> <br /> Or maybe I'm really not good at tennis and other things of the sort. Maybe its all in my head and all the people I got stuck playing against were <em>extremely</em> bad? Oh well, I enjoy it so don't burst my little bubble. It's one of the few types of sports I enjoy playing! I like hitting things! &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.stephenfry.com/bb-content/plugins//bb-smilies/default/icon_confused.gif&quot; title=&quot;:?&quot; class=&quot;bb_smilies&quot; /&gt; http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11582 Thu, 08 Mar 2007 22:44:47 +0000 boffinbabe12 11582@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ So I am severely lacking in that area I'm assuming? http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/rubiks-cube-woes#post-11581 Thu, 08 Mar 2007 22:32:57 +0000 ClareBear 11581@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ Oh Wiki, what does thou say?<br /> <br /> Kinesthesia is a key component in muscle memory and hand-eye coordination and training can improve this sense (see blind contour drawing). The ability to swing a golf club, or to catch a ball requires a finely-tuned sense of the position of the joints. This sense needs to become automatic through training to enable a person to concentrate on other aspects of performance, such as maintaining motivation or seeing where other people are.</blockquote>
