The Rubik's Cube, which was probably THE toy of my youth...would love to remember what knockoff version I got...turns 40 this year, and of course since it's 2014 the thing's website itself takes out all the fun by showing you exactly how to do it. For fuck's sake, just like all Lego's coming with step-by-step instructions on putting shit together. Grrrrr.
One memory I have is on the bus kids bragging how many side's they'd figured out and some kid being pushed to the ecstatic heights of bragging that he'd solved...five of the sides. Hmm.
