There's a secret screwdriver method to solve things. You know a screwdriver, no not vodka and orange juice...that's just a whole new set of solutions. I'm talking about ripping the plastic squares right off the rubix cube's core. Just jam a flathead screwdriver into the edge and tear it to bits and build it back to perfection in fourteen seconds. It's much less shoddy that tearing all the stickers off. For one once you remove an adhesive it's just never the same. Once the backside of that sticker has a taste of freedom it's never going to face away from the light again. It's also insanely hard to get everything back to the right angle. I'm pesky over angles. It's gotta be right angles all the way. Anything other than ninety degrees is downright unsettling.
It's sheer luck when you can tear off a sticker in it's entirety. Utter perfection.
On a side note one thing has never sat right with me, in a movie when a character is supposedly a genius or some kind of savant they can solve a rubix cube within seconds. When did the rubix cube become the litmus test of mental acuity? It's like measuring somebody's brain power by a pop culture fad. You might as well determine their IQ by having them feed a pet rock or have them spin collectable plates on a stick.
I guess what I'm getting at here, if you're going to cheat at a Rubix Cube peal off the stickers. Leave that screwdriver stuff to the amateurs. I'm talking about serious skill. If you can remove all the stickers and leave them more or less intact and can place them back on strategically perfectly fitting the square, why that's just as amazing as solving a real rubix cube in my opinion.

Thanks for the name drops and such, Skippy! That was a kickin' weekend and I still have to keep myself from eating that dented can of sardines. It's looks so good though!
