On a whim I decided to figure out what the color scheme of the cube was. If you wish to figure out yourself without being told, or if you just want to try to refute my guess (I'm no stranger to being wrong) then don't read the "answer" to the puzzle that's below my .sig. Otherwise, if you can't be bothered with minor trivialities like this one (it's really not that difficult to figure out the colors anyway) then read on. -- Jin "Time Traveler" Kim chrono@ibm.net VGL Costa Mesa http://www.geocities.com/timessquare/alley/9895 http://www.slamsite.com I determined that the color scheme of the cube held in Erno Rubik's hand is: Front: Red Back: Orange Left: Green Right: Blue Top: White Bottom: Yellow
