WTF?

Wow that takes me back 38 years!!

To when I was The World Record holder for completing the Rubik's Cube!!

Unofficial

but observed and timed by the rest of my primary classroom and teacher. Solved the puzzle myself y'see, being an autistic cunt. Anyway, I can see from here his moves are essentially the same basic technique/moves, just more divisions. Not sure he's the most efficient timewise either tbh.. but half the problem seems to be the cumbersome cube that is constantly getting snagged on itself. Good on him for filming the entire completion though - except the crucial last 10 seconds where we should have seen the solved cube

So definitely a feat, but more one of cumbersomeness and endurance and dexterity than any logarithmic increase in difficulty over your basic 3x3, 5x5 etc. Hence he's having to count, rather than just go off 'feel'

Now the first one on this video OTOH?? Hmmmm.....

Old skool anime fans, and possibly Giles, should go to about 1:00 min for a real blast from the past. Wonder if Hitomis detective boyfriend has gotten any smarter in the past thirty years?

I'm finding this series of videos oddly addictive:

It's a data centre in Dallas that's open 24/7, so they don't like random partygoers parking in their carpark at the back. All the local tow truck companies have free reign to tow off any miscreants and keep the bounty, and one of the staff makes these videos showing the happenings (this one is very mild).
