   To occupy my nephew for a few hours I asked him to solve a Rubik's cube that had been on the mantelpiece unsolved since 1992, my own childhood. He solved it in a minute, he's still bored, and I am now also resentful.

     @fesshole So he's watched lot of youtube tutorials. Nothing to be resentful about.

     You just didn't consider all the possible ways to "solve" a Rubik's cube. I took mine apart and put it back together "solved."

     @fesshole Get him a 4x4x4, then. If he's spent the many hours necessary to learn to do the 3x3x3 in underva minute, he'll no doubt enjoy the challenge.

     @fesshole you can look up how to solve them on your phone nowadays. If you can follow the walkthrough it’ll solve it from any given starting layout in 5-10 minutes.
