    Rubik's Cube,

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

        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.

                                      Steller's Sea Eagle

                                      The largest eagle in the world is Steller's Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus), which weighs 5-9 kg (11-20 lb) and has a wing-span of 2.2-2.45 m (7 ft 2 in-8 ft 0.3 in). Although it breeds mainly in Russia it has also been located in Korea and Japan. In Russia this eagle is a protected species and in Japan is considered a national symbol.
