Jeez. In our dorky school, we actually have to learn that crap in Algebra. So basically, you make this whole big project to learn how to solve it and then we have a competition. I think the record for our school is like 54 seconds. XP

I still can't do it.

It stimulates the mind! It embodies the puzzle of life! It defines every moment of the waking universe! IT IS THE RUBIK'S CUBE!

Now that's interesting.

That's hard to prove whether it's true or not because that person may have tried the same cube before. ermm.gif
