"Anything worth dying for... is certainly worth living for."
Twilight Sparkle is well known to be a highly clever and intelligent pony. Anything she sets her mind on can be accomplished by just her wits alone, or if need be, with help from her wide array of close friends. But when Twilight is challenged to complete one of humanity’s most famous and notorious puzzles, how far will she go to figure how to conquer the Rubik’s Cube?
[Written in First-Person POV, from the perspective of a human]

All of my yes!
lol
I love you.
My two favorite things combined into one
This was a good read, really.
Noone felt out of character, and things floated along nicely. I mean, you explained enough to make every situation imagineable, and not seem unrealistic.
There are some questions still there though, I mean, as there are with most one-shot HiE fics, or most one-shots by the way. So, bluntly: Do you think you will be writing some kind of sequel or followup in this "universe"?

Anyway
Liked and faved :)

Definitely the best one-shot HiE fic I have read so far. Grats, man.
Well, this is a fun story, but it's missing something--like a punchline revealing that Luna has the cube now and is refusing to raise the Moon until she figures it out...

I love you both too.

I honestly can't figure out how to solve the damn thing to save my life, no matter how many tutorial videos I watch or articles I read. Oh well, practice makes perfect, I suppose.

That's good that everyone's in character. I spent a lot of time writing this!
If there's a large enough demand for it (although it didn't receive as much attention as I hoped for, but no dislikes still makes me happy), then yes, there will be more one-shots with Daryl finding himself in more wacky situations with the Mane Six.

While I was writing this, I originally had that joke taken much further, but it felt out of place. I ended up scrapping most of it, but still left that part in because why not?

Eh, this was more meant to be a Slice of Life rather than a Comedy than anything else. The comedic bits I threw in to simply spice up the story and make it more enjoyable to read.
Was this Pony tale inspired by whats at this link?
So... does she finally discover an algorithm or what? And what about the massage?
AWESOMe!!
I've been waiting to see fics like these. i always wondered if Twilight can solve a rubik's cube

I've decided that there are going to be more one shots featuring Daryl and the Mane Six. Reference to previous stories (once I write them) will probably sprinkled here and there. So it's safe to say that as of now, we don't quite know.

Glad you enjoyed it.
This was a great read! And by reading this, I learnt that I am NEVER making an attempt at trying to solve a Rubik's Cube
Damn. Time to solve my Rubik's Cube.
"Alright. I will now say a word or phrase and I want you to say the first thing that comes to mind."
"Aight!"
"Rubik's Cube"
"ALL MY HATE!!!"
Good show

It's safe to say MMMMOOOOAAAARRRR, then.

And this all came about from a toy. Nice job, Twi.
I'll just leave this here...

Nice. Anymore stories about Daryl?

Sequel can be found here.
More besides these two stories will come soon. Currently, I'm trying to wrap up an old project right now before I start anything else though, not to mention that I have a few extra ideas I'd like to test out as well. I already have everything laid out for the third story at least, but it might take a while before I get around to actually writing it.
Hope you enjoy the sequel at least.
No! Leonidas NO!
THIS
IS
MADNESS
*I get kicked out the library window*
Me: Ouch...
PfffffAAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAaaaa!!!!11
This was one of the funniest stories I've read in a while. I sat there in my school's cafeteria with my E-Reader in my hands, and even though I wanted to not get myself suspicious at first, I just lost it when I read this line and didn't care about anyone awkwardly looking at me:
...
Well the truth is, there is no specific line, as I consider the story as a whole to be amazing and did the above described laughter quite a few times. It's hard to put obnoxious references everywhere without overdoing it or making them miss their point, but you perfected it here.
AND, one of the best parts of the story, you brought in a human without putting him in focus of the story! That's my number one concern with this tag, since 90% of all authors just end up writing the same "Oh shit, there's a human in Equestria, just what should be do? Bawwwww..." crap. It's really nice to see someone using a human as an object to support the story with, not to build the story around.
But if there's one thing I didn't really like, it's the ending. I mean, I didn't read the sequel yet, but it was kinda sad that the question of Twilight ever being able to solve the cube was unanswered (you know, by Daryl just giving up and telling her how it's done or whatever).
But a very great story! I wish there were more around the Rubik's Cube (I only found it because I was deliberately searching for 'rubiks cube' on FIMFiction, it was the only result), maybe someone trying to figure out a V7 or some shit.
I got bored.
Have you ever considered submitting this story to Equestria Daily? You can find out how to do so here.
Well that was.... different.
Interesting.... I luvs its.
Rip in peices
- Rubix cube -
With 43 quintillion possible combos, the outcome wasn't surprising.
I was kind of hoping that it would end with Rainbow Dash solving it in like --
10 seconds flat.
Twilight Sparkle: "
WTFBBQ!!?
"
"
Rainbow Dash: "Take it from me. If it's one thing I know how to do is separate mixed up colors.

That picture tho...
What gets me is that she tried to move the stickers.
I learned to solve it by re-assembly.
