Go on, do it. 😊. I have two accounts, not wanting to taint my "serious" account with my often-whimsical stuff.

Fair enough! But I never tried to speedcube. I just plodded through a 7x7, finishing literally five minutes ago. It tends to take me about 25 minutes for the centres, 25 minutes for the edges, and 4 minutes

Thanks for the comment. "Buttery-smooth" seems to be a common description for the 7x7 one, and I agree. All 4 cubes are from GiYi. The 7x7 gives me the most pleasure to play with. The 9x9 turns

I like these. I have an 1897 Victorian Crown that I use when playing indoor bowls: lots of coin flipping and it is easier for aging eyes to see heads or tails than on the common smaller coins in general

Thank you. Do you cube?

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

Well, I could only solve the regular one after looking it up. Thanks for the comment, western man in SKorea.

Thanks for the comment.

26 seconds ... I suppose it depends what you judge it against. Compared to a world record of 5 seconds or whatever, or compared to my 5 minutes, or compared to most people's never? I hadn't heard of a

Yup. You are so right. Thanks for answering.

Thanks for the comment. What's your best time? Do you have any videos of your cubing?

Thank you. I hadn't considered the generalized case, something like one's willingness to get involved/entangled in something being inversely proportional to how hard it is to get uninvolved/untangled later?

Thank you. When I first tried to solve one (1978?) unaided I couldn't even do the first layer. Later, around 2000, I decided to cheat and learn how to do it following some simple instructions I ran across.

Thanks for the comment. I used to carry 3 essential algorithms around in my wallet, just in case. I haven't cubed much lately, and never away from home, so stopped carrying them around. But I'm rekindling

Thank you. But I can't do 15 one-arm push-ups!

"The Travelers" (3 seasons) is my favourite sci-fi series on Netflix. I thought "Orphan Black" was pretty good too, with amazing acting from Tatiana Maslany.

I added a lot more description at

Please add to the description what you are testing for. I assume pH from a glance later on.

If you have any suggestions for the improvement of this piece, I am open for it. :) I'm kinda old-fashioned regarding poetry -- I think it should be understandable by normal people. I also think poetry
