While reading the news, I ran across an article about the Rubik's Cube world championship being held in Budapest. I've never been a huge fan of the cube (even at its height of popularity in the 80's), but some of my family members are enamored by it. After reading a few articles on the pop-culture icon, I realized that people are passionate about their cubes. Some even filed down parts and added silicon lubricants to make twisting the little cube more effecient. It looks like the time to beat is 12 seconds. Anyone up for the challenge?

My brothers was pretty good at it when we were younger! We all had one. I was pretty obsessed with it for a while! What a challenge!(I had more patience back then)
