Excellent Shot! Loved it! I cheated with mine too as a child. I took it apart and then put it back together the right way. I used to drive my big brother crazy doing that. It was so funny. I think that this is just great. I really don't have any suggestions for you. Everything is perfect. Good job.

Good idea. The reflection helps to make it interesting. Very good take on the challenge. Congratulations on no dice, aces, or crib notes.

I used to take a screwdriver and work on my Rubic's cube in the beginning... that would have scored a point higher with me. Still, nice take on the challenge. A more subtle dividing line in the background would have been better but it is very good as is.

Final bump-up.

I remember doing this in my agony of trying to solve this puzzle. I would show it to my friends and say I completed the Rubix Cube :) Hehehehe. Cool shot. Good use of ROTs and good reflections in this image. 7

Good idea and great composition! Am interested in what type of surface this was shot on--I really like the reflection.

I could NEVER solve this stupid thing, Now I know, Stickers!!

Great imagination, love the colors and reflection. The slight curls at the ends really make me believe the title. Excellent!

i don't know what you're talking about! i've never removed the stickers from a rubiks cube to align all the sides again...
; )
great idea for this challenge, nicely executed.

It took a second to realize idea of cheating. I always like non trivial ideas. Nicely done...8

Very nice concept! Do you use NoiseNinja? Removing the noise would make it a nicer picture. Use of threshold would make the blue in the reflection more visible

I used to peel the stickers off until I discovered that you could just pop the pieces apart and then reassemble the whole thing. Ahh, memories. :) (a well-shot photograph as well, and a creative idea.)
