A new class of celebrity
I see the Rubik’s Cube is making a comeback.
There’s an old game in town that is creating a new class of celebrities: “speed cubers” who can solve the Rubik’s Cube puzzle blindfolded, one-handed or even with their feet.
I remember being in love with this puzzle circa 1981. Everybody who was anybody in the sixth grade had them and a second, miniature one on their key chain. At first it was amusing. Then frustrating. Then you learned to take it apart and put back together again. Then somebody showed you that there’s a trick to it. Then it was an all out snooze fest.
“Yeah, but!” you exclaim, “can you do it with with your feet?!”
Mao, Makisumi and Lo insist speed cubing is not as hard as it looks. In fact, they say they are surprised people admire them so much for something they say simply takes a lot of practice.
Let’s file that under ‘no shit’ shall we?
Now pass the cube.
