Solving The Rubik’s Cube

Have you ever been able to solve a Rubik’s Cube? I’m embarrassed to say I never have.
First available in 1980, it has since sold in the hundreds of millions and was a pivotal plot point in Will Smith’s latest movie The Pursuit of Happyness based in my favorite city, San Francisco!
Here’s Tyson Mao on Anderson Cooper 360. He was the first person to solve the Rubik’s Cube in less than two minutes while blindfolded. He was also the “Rubik’s Cube consultant” who coached Will Smith on how to solve the Cube.
Wonder if I’d be able to solve the Cube this time with the help of Tyson’s tutorial. Can you and/or your kids solve the Rubik’s Cube? How about when blindfolded?
NB: More on the Rubik’s Cube revival.

Hsien, I’m so disappointed.
BTW – I have one in my office that I picked up at a work conference a couple years ago. Very cool schwag!
Bald Man: I know. I suck. But you didn’t say whether you could solve it or not!!
For the record: Yes, I can solve a Rubik’s Cube.
How about blindfolded?
I can’t let you one-up me. I must go find a Rubik’s Cube pronto.
I LIKE PIE AND CANT SOLVE THE RUBIKS CUBE!!!!!!
