On May 15 I gave a 45 minute presentation on the Rubik's Cube at the Trevor Day School in Manhattan. The audience was high school students (about 250 of them).

If you've watched any of my previous talks, you'll find a lot of overlap. Here are some of the things that were new in this talk:
-showed a commutator example of a corner 3-cycle (my old commutator example involved orienting two corners and keeping them in place)
-showed videos of several non-cube shaped puzzles
-included a section on Rubik's Cube art
-didn't do a solve on Ryan Heise's cube simulator since the page was down at that time (but it's back up now)
If you end up watching any/all of it, I'd love your feedback!
