Yeah, but then you gotta actually find a job.

Bleh, not too hard.

In Florida(US) you can legally work at 14. I'm going to get a job at Publix or Winn-Dixie when I'm 14/15

Or you could start a Ponzi scheme and get other cubers to give you money.

First of all, THIS link should be cheaper.

Tell her...

"But the stopwatch will break from me dropping my cube on it when I'm done since I can't click the button AND click it to stop it right when I'm done with my solve."

Or, make a Rubik's Bomb, where you get like a container, cut a whole on the top and put a little timer under it, make as trigger, so you can just press a big fat button to start and stop the timer..

just to tell you, the one you saw isn't the original rubik's bomb :C

i wonder why he removed it? it was a classic....

Why do you even need a timer and a mat?
Is it necessary for cubing?

its better than using a fone or an ipod to time yea

How?

well on my phone or ipod theres only a little tiny button that i have to press and all that takes time. plus ive dropped my cube on it so many times that i will one day soon probably break it.

It is also awkward to press a button when you finish solving. On a stackmat, there is a big surface area when you can easily slam your hands on.
