Man takes 26 years to solve Rubik’s CubeIt has taken since 1983 – but, after 26 years, builder Graham Parker has finally solved the puzzle of the Rubik's Cube.
'I cannot tell you what a relief it was to finally solve it,' the 45-year-old from Portchester, Hampshire, said. 'It has driven me mad over the years – it felt like it had taken over my life. I have missed important events to stay in and solve it and I would lie awake at night thinking about it. I have had wrist and back problems from spending hours on it but it was all worth it. When I clicked that last bit into place and each face was a solid colour, I wept.'
Wife Jean, 47, said it had felt like there had been three people in their marriage.
'When I met Graham, he was already obsessed with the cube – spending hours on it every day,' she said. 'I have often thought about getting rid of it but I knew he would not rest until he had solved it.'
