Let's say you have 140 in cash, and you want to use it to buy some puzzles. Say your order is 80 dollars. You go to your mom, but she says no. She thinks it's a waste of money and it's stupid. She also says you have too many cubes. In that case, what do you do?
a) Say you are going to give some puzzles away.
b) Say that all the puzzles are not for you, and that you are going to give a gift to your sister/brother.
c) Beg and plead until your mom/dad says yes.
d) Just get good grades, make sure all your chores are done, and do something special to convince your mom.

Hmm... Did I mention it's in cash, and the only way to order new cubes is to ask your mom to help you?
I think what he meant was that there's the option of telling your mom to help you buy the puzzles and that you'll cover all the costs with the money you have (you'll give her the money she ended up spending).

How do frickin tension the Yj Yushi? I tried so hard to get it right, and yet it still pops/locks up excessively, and I just got this a few weeks ago. Too tight, it feels to frictionous. But too loose... it pops at the worst times.
