Matlab Rubiks Cube

Thanks to el noodle, of Hijack, I am now the proud, and ultra-geeky, owner of a Matlab branded Rubik's Cube. I still take ages to complete it; minutes, rather than the sub-30sec times many can manage, or insanely fast times of some speedcubers. Some people can do it faster blindfold than I've ever managed! And I dread to think how many moves I take, what with God's number being thought to be in the low 20s.

Here's a great History of Rubik’s Cube Solutions and Techniques

From the official site, here's Ernő Rubik's first working prototype of the cube from 1974.


Here's Mátyás Kuti solving a cube in a couple of minutes. Blindfolded. With one hand.

[It should be noted that Kuti has been found to have cheated at his blindfold solves, somehow, so all of his records have been taken away and he is currently banned from competition for three years.]

Weird shit people are making:
