Out of the Blue

On a weird impulse I recently picked up a Rubik's Cube, deciding it might be fun to finally learn how to do one, especially since it seems to emphasize some sort of thinking my brain doesn't really do. It was pretty easy to learn the first half of what's apparently the simplest solution, but to master the end of it would require memorizing a few slightly complex formulas, so that will be a challenge. I'm not sure I'll actually be willing to memorize enough of what you need to to work this, but I do feel it would almost be worth it for the possibility that I would come across one someday and casually solve it to that amazement of the admiring crowd. I guess it is proof of geekdom that this is what I think would be impressive, as opposed to, say, dunking a basketball.
