Yes, 3x3 and 4x4... I think I grew old of it and never tried 5x5... maybe I should try it again and do up to like 7x7 or something lol

I think... not sure... but I think I had those in China too, but I never had internet to look it up so it was never solved... so it just existed in a perpetual state of chaos... just like my life 🙃

I think I had at least 2 more 3x3 cubes in NYC... but either that's before I got internet or somehow I never thought of looking it up.

I remember this one time... was either birthday or christmas or some sort of holiday... my mom got me a 3x3 cube... and like I think I asked for it some time ago... that was the only special "gift moment" that I thought was most memorable... cuz I rarely get what I ask for lol, I remember being in some store asking for legos or something... cuz I think I saw classmates have it, and I asked mom to get those, and nope rejected cuz "these are boring and expensive", I remember asking for Battleships so I could play with my older brother and she got the cheaper knockoff version 🙃

I mean my classmates have fucking Nintendo DSes but I get born to a poor family :( so yea I had low self esteem from feeling ashames of being poor and coupled with the lack of confidence in English and the anxiety of "not feelint like I belong, I didn't have much friends...

I remember when I got that 3x3 (not my first one btw, I got like probably 2 or more 3x3s before) I was at that greyhound-like bus stop waiting for the bus to go back to Philly after vising NYC for some reason? (Visiting relative maybe? Forgot lol) So mom was like "hey guess what I got you" and pulls out the 3x3 cube in the original packaging... I think I felt hapoy in that moment. I tried to use her phone to look it up but the data was so shit it keeps taking forever to load and never loaded I think I tried looking up non-video instruxtions so it loads faster but I think it was too confusing to follow, and so I think I had to wait till I get home to look up the youtube video (memory's all a blur forgot how exactly it went down)... I think at one time I got so frustrated I took it apart to reassemble it xD.

Then later I got the 4x4 and solved that too.

I remember bringing it to school and then someone else (who's so Chinese American) also brought their cube... I think it was in middle school like 8th grade or something... I played with it during class and teacher casually walks up and like "lemme have that" and confiscated both of our cubes for the duration of class lol. Math class btw... very fitting to be playing with rubick's cubes...
