Ryan and the Rubik’s Cube
Back in 2003, while backpacking through the UK and Ireland, I ended up at a party in Dublin where I met a guy who claimed he could complete the Rubik’s Cube in under 5 minutes. After having me scramble it for him, he did as advertised. I was suitably impressed and asked how he did …
