      Because it was there.

      Education is extremely important.

          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.

            Rubik's Cube,

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

            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.

                                          actually, it's 2:59:59:20

                                          and AM is not needed.
