What is your opinion on the following article? http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/06/17/iowa-teen-wins-text-messaging-championship/ Basically, this 15 year old girl won a texting tourney. And she won 50k. Just for messing up her thumbs for life. Hm...

So this was two weeks ago and I just thought that I should share it to the speedcubing community. Yes, it is how the title goes. And yes she did say no, but oh well, prom was still fun. Also I do apologize for any errors in pronoun usage, because that is one of the grammar rules I never fully...

Okay okay, I was studying photosynthesis, and I came across this problem. The problem asked, "Which of the following would not be capable of performing photosynthesis?" So, seeing how easy the question was, I chose "bacterium" as the answer. When I checked my answer, though, it said "a...

Hey everyone, I know there was a thread about this in the archives, but I can't seem to find it! Anyway, what are some things cubers should say to non-cubers about their hobby? What I mean is, how does a cuber talk back (with wit) to a non-cuber that brags about "solving the cube in 3...

Hey all, I'm the president of my cube club at school (w00t!), and I need some ideas on what I should do as events. I plan to host a competition (unofficial), but I have no ideas on how to get the members hooked into cubing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! -Brian

Hi everyone, You all may have remembered that I was going to sell some shirts. I will be at Berkeley Spring with the shirts. If you are willing to buy some, just come and see me at the competition. I may be there the entire day. They will be five dollars up front. If I have any more left...

What exactly are freestyle edges? I've looked at Lucas' algorithms, and they seem like normal 3-edge cycles to me...
