Have you ever even SEEN a solved Rubik cube lying around? I haven’t, I’ve only ever picked them up, frustratingly mumbled how, and thrown a few against a wall. I was on the MRT and noticed these two guys fiddling with Rubik’s cubes. They saw me watching, one sort of nodded at me, and thirty seconds later completed the cube. 30 SECONDS! Speedcubing, is what it’s called, I only wish I had taken a video so you could see how fast his fingers moved. I LOST MY MIND and went on about this for hours.. guy must work in computers, math or something genius, to have memorized such algorithms. There are 519,024,039,293,878,272,000 or 519 quintillion possible combinations to solve this cube, have you even ever heard the number quintillion? But it can be solved in as little as 22 twists.

And here I thought Jenga was tough..

A football game in Connecticut was delayed when one player, Bob Blake, failed to take the field. He was found in the locker room playing with the Cube.

One of the youngest Cube solvers ever back in 1981 was seven year old Lars-Erik Anderson of Norway. He often did the Cube, but could not explain how!
