I will never, ever be free.

More cube stories about wunderkind Dan.

Master Cubist, as presented by The Acton Beacon


Also, I bet he is MAD they used his picture from senior year. In my yearbook, he drew a crazy braces smile over it. Spooky. Also, the last time I looked through it, I smashed it shut on a fly that had been stalking me. Then I circled the fly and put the date next to it to warn other flies.

"Anyone who's willing to practice it everyday for an hour, for a year, can solve it in under 30 seconds, I'm almost positive. After that it takes real dedication, and you really just have think 'cube' and dream 'cube',"

Yup.

Also, this article seems to imply that Mr. Knights invented the contest and then went on to win it. Hmmm... smacks somewhat like my other old friend, Dave Bergart, champion skier and archer, who later became the best ski-archer imaginable. Perhaps next year we will see a water-spitting & lying contest, sponsored by soon-to-be champion ME!

Seriously though, Dan, way to do exactly like I always thought you would. Get slightly famous for doing something completely weird, and manage to make money at the same time. Very impressive. I can't wait until 8 months from now when you announce that solving a Rubix cube in under 30 seconds actually prevents and reverses Alzheimers.
