I recall a demo on Johnny Carson where a guy solved seven cubes in seven minutes
and I think he had the current world record of around 21 seconds. I have solved
a cube in 39 seconds but it was luck more than anything else. When I was play-
ing around with making modifications to my solution to the cube I could solve
any cube in about a minute and a half, which was fast enough to earn me a few
drinks in bars. I think that a legitimate record would be around 30-45 seconds
and would have to be an average for multiple cubes.
