A student approached me after class today with a Rubik's Cube. She asked if I could solve it, and I said, "Sure!" I thought I would be able to impress her by quickly rearranging all of the colors, something I was able to master while I was in junior high school.
As I began to twist and turn the familiar object into its rightful colors, I explained to the wide-eyed student that the first Rubik's Cube came out when I was about her age. She immediately inquired with a completely serious expression on her face, "Was it made out of wood then?"
(Ouch.)
