" A man from Hampshire has solved the Rubik&amp;#039;s Cube puzzle after playing with the toy for 26 years. Graham Parker, 45, purchased the cube in 1983 but struggled to solve it, despite two decades of trying. &amp;quot;I cannot tell you what a relief it was to finally solve it,&amp;quot; he told Metro. &amp;quot;It has driven me mad over the years - it felt like it had taken over my life. &amp;quot;I have missed important events to stay in and solve it and I would lie awake at night thinking about it. &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; Parker&amp;#039;s wife Jean, 47, commented: &amp;quot;When I met Graham, he was already obsessed with the cube - spending hours on it every day. &amp;quot;I have often thought about getting rid of it but I knew he would not rest until he had solved it.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
