A time for fun on Thanksgiving Day.
When Rubik’s Cube first was produced, I quickly realized it was not my thing.
But it turns out that solving it is child’s play.
Here is a seven-year-old boy in Brazil solving it in 27 seconds, using only one hand.
Amazing. Shorter time with both hands.
Awesome!
And now for World Hunger Solutions Enthusiasts, I will eat with one hand, un-timed. Unbelievable, I’ve thrown away the clock! It’s a blur! The spoon is gone! It is out! The oatmeal is gone! Unbelievable! Unbelievable!

When my own son was ten years old, he wasn’t particularly good in school but could solve the Rubik Cube in a few seconds. None of his teachers saw his talent but an astute uncle watched him with the Cube and proclaimed: That is a very bright child you have! And he was right. That son grew up to get a “free ride” at Stanford and earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering.
The moral of the story: Never assume limits on a child’s potential.
My 11 year old son loves this. We’re both still trying to figure out how to do it with two hands. Deep down I hate these folks who can figure it out.
