#rubik #speedcubing

Le 1er championnat du monde de Rubik's Cube a eu lieu à Budapest en 1982.

Une photo a immortalisé ce moment avec tous les participants se tenant devant un cube géant. Son créateur ne devait pas pratiquer parce-qu'un coin ne peut avoir 2 facettes de la même couleur (ici blanches) tout comme une arête (ici oranges) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Noter la présence de Jessica Fridrich qui inventera et donnera son nom à la méthode de résolution de cube la plus utilisée dans le monde.

Les 19 participants portent tous un T-shirt blanc avec le drapeau de leur pays.
Ils posent debout. À leurs pieds, un cube géant d'environ 80 cm de haut.

Does anyone here on fedi have the Sengsou 2-layer Pentahedron puzzle and found a to make it feel less lose? I've tightened the screws a bunch and it still feels like it's going to fall apart any moment. #speedcubing

Today was ... interesting. If you followed me for the past months over on the shitbird site, you might have seen a bunch of angry German words, lots of graphs, and the occassional news paper, radio, or TV snippet with yours truely. Let me explain.

In Austria, inflation is way above the EU average. There's no end in sight. This is especially true for basic needs like energy and food.

Our government stated in May that they'd build a food price database together with the big grocery chains. But..
