Rubik’s and all of his cousin’s cubes

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

I have been bitten by Rubik’s bug, thanks to The Great Indian Rubik’s Challenge. I have won the challenge, by the way (was lazy to log it into the blog). I have read about Rubik’s Revenge and Professor’s Cube in the past, but today I discovered that there is more of this madness. See this video to see some more types of cubes, I mean pyramids and etc.

Rubik’s cube Challenge

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Last night I entered into a challenge : to solve the given Rubik’s cube with in two days. Of course we know that there are people who can solve it in half minute, blind folded. But I have never gone any farther than solving two faces. And none of us are aware how difficult it is. So we agreed for two days. But then I will be traveling sometime in between. So the deadline is extended by another day, to 2nd May at 3:00 AM.

For now it looks to be a easy task, with three days and google in hand. A quick search, gave me the following seven step recipe. OK, enough of blogging. I will get back to solving it.

By the way the losers ( they, of course :) ) will buy the whole group a lunch at MTR. In any case it will be a good outing, especially since I will be (possibly) moving to Hyderabad with in three months, I should go out more and more often with friends here. (Lot many eateries to revisit before I leave Bangalore. More about it later)
