If the kids I know are anything to g by the Rubik’s cube is having a bit of a comeback. They even make ‘specialty’ cubes too.
Blew the ten-year-olds mind when I told him the inventor did not believe in accumulating wealth and was less than happy with all of the money he earned for his math toy being so popular. Interesting thought experiment for him, he had a hard time wrapping his mind around it, that is for sure.
I was never able to nail that sucker down. Spent hours trying and then my kid brother came in and solved it in 2 minutes! I knew then it was a communist plot.

Our company built a worldwide intranet and I corresponded with employees in the UK, India, and US. Email and Notes. Totally addictive.

We peeled the stickers off and put them back on in different places so it could never be solved. Now THAT was fun to watch.
