Also, after a countless amount of times of picking it up, getting frustrated, putting it down, I have FINALLY mastered the Rubik's Cube. That is quite the accomplishment for me, as I never thought I'd be able to do it! I actually learned while Alex and I were traveling through the vineyards of Alsace, France but just remembered to put it up here in my blog. Let's look at some numbers because I feel proud and I also feel like bragging just a bit. :D
There are exactly 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 different ways a rubik's cube's squares can be oriented. There is only one solution. In easier (maybe) terms that is just around 43 quintillion.
The youngest person to ever solve a cube was a 3 year old named Yuhan Shi from China. The oldest was a 90 year old.
Only 5.8% of people in the world are able to solve the traditional 3x3 Rubik's Cube.
As of January of 2009, 350,000,000 Rubik's Cubes had been sold.
One more statistic - I am 100% tired of looking up statistics. Here's a picture I took of my first solved Rubik's Cube.
The effect I added to everything here except the Rubik's Cube is supposed to show that for a while there, I couldn't focus on anything else until I solved it!
Alright, that's all.
P.S. I'll let you in on a secret of mine - my record for blog posts in one month was 21 posts in one month. That was November of 2009 of my Blog "Ian Kivell - Adventures in Korea". I'm at 20 for March now! That means tomorrow I'll have to post if I want to tie my record, and then I'll have to post again on the 31st if I want to beat my record!
