Bit of a meta note: grown adult here who never got into cubing earlier in life. Recently picked one up as some non-screen entertainment for some long haul flights and train travel. Highly recommend.
- sourcepluck 2y agoFellow adult who also started late, also would recommend! Quite soothing activity. Using the abacus gets me in a similar way too, even though it's not a puzzle specifically. Something about the tactile focus and modest brain activity is pleasant.
- ileonichwiesz 2y agoSame here! I recently picked up a cube after a lifetime of thinking that I didn’t enjoy this kind of puzzles. A couple months have passed, and I carry the cube everywhere I go as I work on getting my time below 30s. If you’ve got disposable income (and you might if you’re here), I highly recommend getting a pro-level cube. Even the fanciest ones don’t go above $60 or so, and it’s a lot more fun to play with a cube that glides on auto-aligning magnets than it is to fight a poorly-built piece of plastic that keeps locking up.
