    It needs to explode when you solve it, right after you hear a little electronic voice saying "AWESOME!". #transformersrubikscube

    Well congrats to him. I just cheated and looked it up online. I can do it in a minute and 20 seconds, but I know my victory is hollow. If I met this guy in a bar, I would buy him a beer.

    And she married him anyways. I guess she was thinking he wouldn't bother her much for sex or cheat as long as his hands were occupied by that stupid cube...

    This seems like it would be used as one of those "stories of triumph" that the networks always attach to an olymic athlete.


    Mark Spitzer: Against All Odds: world class athlete who hid in shame that he could not solve the cube, but last week ladies and gentlemen, he defeated his demon.

    Erno Rubik must be laughing his ass off right now. Instead of brushing his teeth, he spent most of his adult life trying to solve a stupid puzzle. Hilarious.


    Well, it would be were it not for the fact that I had to Google the solution to it myself, or I might have done the same thing. Can someone please get an internet connection out to Portchester, pronto?

    @Monty: have you dedicated any portion of your life to anything at all?


    On one hand it is kind of sad, but on the other I'm pretty happy for this complete stranger.


    After looking at a rubiks cube and being told what to do, I gave up in record time.

    @madog: rubik I think, would be proud that his cube is still being sold by the millions to this very day. While I'm sure no one has spent nearly this long solving it once, think of all the people that have spent the same amount of time dedicating their lives to the hobby in general?


    Let me see your lifelong impact on society and then you can judge.

    @DeusExMach: I don't know what you mean there, but my whole point is basically that no matter how stupid or ridiculous something is to one person, its' a life-long endeavor of another. That goes for pretty much anything, even if your in the Special Olympics and not a completely insensitive prick.
