There were instruction booklets that were sold with Rubik's cubes that told you the way to twist and turn in a certain number of steps to solve it. But it wasn't the solution that interested Renwick, but the method of reaching it. So he'd stubbornly refused to look up how to solve it, and instead made it a nice little mindless habit to fiddle with. Once you'd spent all day focussing on your medical knowledge and making sure people didn't die or suffer, mindless habits were very very welcome.
He'd thrown on his long woollen coat and wandered out into the snowy courtyard to catch some air with the coloured cube clutched in his hands. His fingerless gloves didn't do much to stop the tips of his fingers going numb in the cold, but he didn't mind. Turning the levels was much easier.
Renwick had managed to solve two sides, blue and orange, but he'd gotten to that infuriating point where moving to solve the red side ruined the blue. He sighed, closed his eyes, and jumbled the colours up again with a series of pleasant clicks and snaps.
