"Yes?" >"No fair giving me an unsolvable puzzle!" >You shook your head, hand out. >Twilight nearly threw it at you, the cube coming to rest in your hand with quite a bit of force. >You looked at it, turned a few times...then showed her your handiwork. >A perfectly level cube, colors all on their correct sides. >"Wh...but, how!?" Twilight demanded, looking the cube over for signs of tampering. >You merely grinned as you mixed it back up. "My only hint: Any Rubik's Cube can be solved in 20 moves or less, from any combination." >You gave it back to the unicorn, and you could have sworn she was about to cry. >You then sat back into your chair and continued to watch the show. >The mare sat there all night, twisting the puzzle cube left and right. >She almost had it once or twice, before twisting it the wrong way and wrecking it again. >"CELESTIA DANG IT!" The mare roared, waking you up. "Twi, seriously, c'mon now." You said with a yawn. >"No, I have to get this!" She said, ignoring the growl her stomach just made. "Eat something first?" >"No." She replied, twisting it again. >One side solved, five more utterly ruined. >The concept of 'breaking' one side to fix them all hadn't occurred to her at any point throughout her puzzle solving. >The mare growled in anger, throwing the cube at you. >"To Tartarus with it, you win Anon!" >You sighed. "Twilight, watch." >She glared at you, then the cube. >You turned it twice to the left, three times up, once to the right, three more to the left... >And were left with a solved cube. "Twenty turns or *less*, Twi." >The mare burst into literal flames. >"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?" >You leapt backwards, keeping the very-flammable chair between you and the mare. "I solved it?" You replied, confused. "You were thinking too much about it!" >She extinguished just as quickly, stomping down the stairs for a late night snack. >Twilight came back upstairs, sandwich in her magic aura. >She was pointedly ignoring both you and the cube. >"...mix it up again." "...what?" >"Mix it up again." She replied simply. "I'm going to solve this bucking thing." >You sighed, hiding it behind your back and randomly mixing it up. >You then gave the mare the randomized cube, which she took. >She scarfed down the sandwich, and put the cube on her nightstand. >"Later." >You sighed in relief, going down the stairs to your room. >"I still think you cheated, Anonymous!" >You simply laughed, settling in for bed. >You could hear her turning and twisting the cube all throughout the night.
