This came up when I was flipping through random ones. Not sure if it has been posted before, so just posting it for good measure.

Here's a video from one of my favorite YouTube channels: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tkS0eF7 ... ure=digest

Check out his shirt! This guy is really talented as both a vocalist and a beat boxer. Enjoy!

Also, near the end of this video by MysteryGuitarMan (another of my favorite channels), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqARrjYOKd4 there is a rubik's cube being floated in the background (about 2:35, but watch the whole video, it's awesome!).

Enjoy!

Just saw a BBC2 ident with a Rubik's Cube on it, couldn't find it on YouTube though.

If I do find it, I'll post it here.

Hello,

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned The Big Bang Theory yet. Fairly often, one can spot a Rubik's Cube (or a Rubik's Cube related item); particularly in season one. By the way, close-ups of the Rubik's Cube Kleenex cozy can be seen here and here.

Skarabajo.

GuiltyBystander · **Posted:** Mon May 17, 2010 6:55 pm

I see the kleenex box practically every week. I think there may also be a cookie jar in the kitchen. That or they moved kleenex box from there a couple of seasons ago. I haven't see it recently but they don't show the kitchen too often.

VeryWetPaint · **Posted:** Mon May 17, 2010 7:15 pm

Typical of Rubik's Cube props, the color scheme on the Kleenex cosy would not be a solvable cube. But it's better than average--at least they don't have a yellow-yellow edge!

GuiltyBystander · **Posted:** Mon May 17, 2010 7:42 pm

It does have 2 red-yellow edges which is just as bad.

bad lighting I would say, one of those is yellow-orange... maybe

GuiltyBystander · **Posted:** Tue May 18, 2010 8:48 am

This picture is more clear. Both reds are adjacent to an orange so you can clearly tell they aren't orange.

saw one sitting on the lab desk in "fringe" a few days ago...i should add it was unsolved although knowing the mad prof in this prog he probably solved it in the other dimension... 8-)

Scroll through the whole thing - left to right (smallest to biggest). If you already know the size of a rubik's cube, you'll probably know where it's located.

Wow, I've never felt so small :shock:

Thanks for repeating the link, how did I miss that? Regardless of the inclusion of the Cube,
it is a remarkable little flash movie!

My vet's office has these huge 3x3x3s with different wormers and flea medication stuff on it, I have cell phone pictures but can't upload them right now.

It's cool, though.

I found this website today. It has many interesting artistic photos of Rubik's cubes and a few other puzzles.

Saw this today at a clinic: a migraine poster featuring a partially disassembled tiled cube.

(Yes, it is in French, and no, I don't suffer from migraines; it was just a random poster)

The cover of the February 1991 edition of the magician's magazine MUM (Magic-Unity-Might, if I recall correctly) has magician Brad Jacobs holding a 4x4 with some numbers that don't appear to have any significance in terms of solving the puzzle.

biffman · **Posted:** Wed Jul 21, 2010 7:30 pm

Gizmodo is reporting a Lego Android machine that can solve a 7x7x7 Rubik Cube. . I thought it was amusing that no one has commented that it is not actually a Rubik's Cube.

Sjoerd · **Posted:** Thu Jul 22, 2010 5:05 pm

MysteryGuitarMan (one of youtube greatest hits right now) just posted a video including a rubik´s cube.
Most of the time he makes music and makes it into an awesome video by looping, playing backward and rewind it or lots of cuts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ml_sX7B ... rHadhIrj30

Edit: you should also watch his other videos. He is a youtube hit for a reason.

Some comments under that are pretty... I can't think of a good work for it :roll:

johnfaber100-
'2 days ago I could solve any cube! Rubic's cube [pause]

et cetera!

lol...

But, in fact, there is another sort of puzzle cube. I don't know how it's called.

It's quite similar to the rubic's cube, BUT the small pieces aren't squares but rectangles.Does anyone know it?'

TheMolt1-
@johnfaber100 'Actually, that's just a hack on the Rubic's cube. There are, like, over 50 hacks made by one guy. I can't remember his name, though.'

I've had dreams similar to that, only with 3x3x3 heads and people couldn't recognize each other until I solved everyone's head. It was very odd.
