4x4

i just got my rubik's revenge cube today in the mail.. i got it for 13 bucks. its by hasbro.. i dont have reference to compare this cube to, but i think it sucks.. the movement is rough, and it jams very often.. i dont know if its just new or what.. hopefully it will get better after some time... i did my first ever 4x4 average, here it is:

the cube

this blog is mostly about the rubik's cube.. this trivial little puzzle packs in so much mystery and joy, that it has become the obsession of many people, including me...
