The NJ Cube-a-thon was at (Six Flags Over) Great Adventure
amusement park, sponsored, I believe, by Ideal. I saw the kid
who won on television, zip, zip, zip, presto. He said he was
solving 300 cubes a day as practice, and has been improving his
speed five seconds a month for the past six months or so. I
think there were about 1500 entrants.
How about this for a bumper sticker?
