    What have you achieved in the last 42 days?

    The fucking Rubik's Cube, that's what!

    Rubik's Cube,

    There are some videos out there that show a pattern, when followed, solve the Rubik's cube. Are they valid?

      Probably. There are mathematical solutions that apparently use Group Theory.

      As an engineering manager, I've determined that the best method to solve it involves taking it to pieces and putting it back together in the correct order.

      I was only joking

          Because it was there.

              There was a tornado about 3 miles from here yesterday.

              We had big black clouds, heavy rain and hail and big wind.

              No big damage here so it was just fun to watch. I spent the day picking up leaves and branches.

                Yes. It’s all algorithms. They even published some back in the 80s when it first came out.

                  Yea I was able to do the cube quite easily years ago. I’ve since forgotten all the moves.

                    I could reliably beat two minutes at age 12-13.

                    At the Rubik’s cube, that is.

                        Wasn’t sure if this goes here or the not appropriate thread. Maybe it’s just my dirty mind.
