From Reuters comes a story about the upcoming Competitive Rubik's Cube Solving Contest .
This weekend Tyson Mao, 22, will try to regain the title of world blindfold Rubik's Cube champion, a title he lost last year to his friend Leeann Loo who beat his time of one minute 58 seconds by 30 seconds.
1 minute 28 seconds... blindfolded?????
Mao took up playing with Rubik's Cubes about three years ago, introduced to the puzzle by his younger brother Toby who currently holds the world record for solving the Rubik's Cube -- 10.48 seconds.
10.48 seconds?????
Yikes!

i cannot do it that quickly unblindfolded with a handful of colored sharpees...
nanc: you don't need sharpees. Just peel off the colored stickers ;-)
I was going to say that, Cube! LOL!
Speaking of cubes, have you ever accidentally typed cube48.blogspot.com in your browser?
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or so they say. :)
tlm: NEVER! 48 doesn't even come close to being as great as 47 ;-)
tlm: OK, I must admit that I did try it after you mentioned it. Lo and behold, there is a cube48 in Prague, of all places. It is a desolate site though, & looks like it's abandoned.
