My daughter can do the Rubik’s Cube in about 3 minutes. She can do a 4×4 cube in about 5 minutes. She learned via Youtube, and when she was in 6th grade she used to enjoy astounding people on the subway who saw her take out the cube and laugh, until she finished.

Lechacal, it took her about an hour to learn. Now the guys (college students I think) who make the Youtube videos–not sure!

I’m fascinated by people who develop incredibly specialized and almost completely useless skills and information. Like people who become championship cup stackers, or master the rubik’s cube, or develop a website dedicated to contrails.

I saw on the news an interview with a guy who runs a webpage devoted to contrails. He debunked the whole thing. He had archival photos of contrails going back several years. I was like, WTF?

Ohhhh damn you legion.
