I solved the Rubics Cube as a teen., and three times as an adult.
People say its bs but I did it all withing a day each time.
If that matters lol.
I think it's my slight ADD that gets me.
My fastest time with the cube was just under 2 minutes, and 2 of the moves I invented myself (although someone had probably fallen upon them before me somewhere). I still do it today and take about 4 minutes at a nice leisurely pace.
i usually ended up popping the blocks off and putting it back together "solved".same here, i never solved it
I usualy did it while discussing occult philosophy with a group of pagans I talk to once in a while.this just made me lol what kind of stuff were you talking about, the edda? i've never met any pagans in real life, must be interesting. i think there are very different kind of pagans out there
It helped me think.
wow that's amazing, i love to hear these kind of storys, and that he wants to work on his social skills at the age of 13 is just so cute and geeky isn't it?
same here, i never solved it

Kids are scary smart these days, but instead of being encouraged, teachers focus
their efforts on forcing the kids to just do things in a certain prescribed manner, squashing their creativity. It is so good to hear one found his way to people who were willing to listen!
Did you know that in the US the schools arent alowed to teach the US Constitution anymore?
I've always made sure that the young hooligan has the tools to learn, as I could. I taught him some basic Latin early on so he could have a better grasp on vocabulary. The parts of history not taught in school. Being Native American, he has learned much from the stories passed down that touch many facets of life. Math, he has just always known that. We did a lot of American government homeschooling. The high school he attends one must qualify to attend. It is a small, privately funded,and has a unique technology based curriculum. But the first things cut from each yearly budget is monies to libraries, schools, gifted and special ed, and health care.
It is not all bad here. But some of the problems are huge. With some of the legislation in the last few years we have suffered the loss or infringement of our personal freedoms and power to make our own decisions. Our voting system is a joke. Wars are declared, lives lost, lies told by a government with a hidden agenda powered by greed. The people have accepted the slop fed them by the news media, seldom questioning or looking outside of the US to see if there might be more going on than is let on. Those who question loudly enough are discredited or finally just burn out and give up.
Had I not traveled outside of the US and seen first hand the people and how in actual fact, we are not the land of the free. :'(
Due to the Patriot Act if you question too much, your concidered a domestic terrorist.
Did you know that if you due civic work in the US that your a domestic Terrorist? If you are a patriot and want good things for the country your put on a list of possible terrorists?
You can thank Mr. Bush for that.
We The People doesnt exist anymore.
BTW,, several people involved in the Tea Parties are being looked at, about 60 have been audited by the IRS and others have been hassled by federal authorities.
