Somebody bought me a 5x5 for Christmas. It's my only 5x5 and I love it. But ....
How do I say this. It's terrible. I mean really terrible. Looks exactly like the original rubix but has stickers. I've only played with it 3 times but already the corners of the stickers are lifting and it's loosened up so much it's basically uncontrollable. Locking up all the time and my finger joints are really aching.
I did say though that I love 5x5 now. I'm so itching to buy a better, much better, one. Maybe an Aochuang? But I really don't want to offend the person who gifted me that terrible one. When they come round and see that I'm playing with a different cube so soon after.
So. I was thinking. What's the best 5x5 that actually looks like the original rubix style? If it looked the same they wouldn't notice?
Or do I just buy the Aochuang and make sure it's not seen when they come to visit?
Or do I tell them they've awaked a new interest in 5x5 (that their gift doesn't satisfy?)
Or do I, accidentally, drop their gift and I just had to replace it? Or lose it down the back of the sofa maybe. Or give it to one of their kids to play with. That ought to, er, fix it.
On the other hand. It was a gift and that means a lot to me. So I do want to keep it and have it in its stand on my desk. But my aged finger joints really don't want me to play with it again.
What do I do?
Anyway - Happy Christmas y'all.
