Sir Ravi The Juggler 2

Yep, Ravi is back, and this time he isn't messing around.  Two weeks ago I posted a video of him juggling two balls and a Rubik's Cube.  He solved it in 1-1/2 minutes! WHILE JUGGLING!

But this time around, Ravi juggles three Rubik's cubes and attempts to solve all three at the same time!  Does he do it?  Check him out.

Sir Ravi The Juggler

Okay, growing up - the only way I could solve the RUBIK's cube was by removing the stickers and gluing them back on, because separating the pieces were a bitch.  Excuse my French, but how in the hell does this guy manage to solve the damn thing by juggling it?

I'm assuming Ravi is going to Stanford, because the YouTube page was granted permission "by both Ravi and Humans of Stanford".  LOL.

Seriously? WTF?

Un-fucking believable!  Seriously!  I'm sorry, for the French, but David Calvo, pictured left, manages to single-handedly solve a Rubik's Cube while juggling 2 more at the same time.  I mean, I've come to understand that if one can't chew gum and walk at the same time, they have issues.  But juggling and rubiking? Really? This is my way of solving the damn thing.

How To Solve a Rubik's Cube

Talk about forever and a day, but the following video is fucking hilarious!  I'm sorry for my French, but it's funny!  Okay, well maybe it's funny because kids do the darnedest things.  It is definitely MY answer to solving the damn thing.  "A young girl is faced with the challenge of completing a Rubik's Cube until she thinks of a novel solution to the problem."

Remember my post from back in April? If you haven't, it's about the Rubik's Cube.  "Keeping It Old Skool" is a series in my blog in which I reflect on the younger years of my life, talking about the products, shows, etc of the time.  I haven't posted a new one since May, but I hope to soon.

Keeping It Old Skool - Issue No. 5 - The Rubik's Cube

I had originally intended this post to be a special issue of my 'Poster of the Week' series, but then realized I could use it as a 'Keeping It Old Skool' issue instead.  And after looking at the motivational phrase, I couldn't pass it up.  

This is so-something I would've done back in the 1980's. I hated these damn things growing up; I even removed all the stickers once and "completed it."  My sister and parents thought I was a genius. :-)  Little did they know I had trouble making them stick.

According to Wikipedia:

The Rubik's cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube", the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toy Corp. in 1980.

As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy.

Ironically enough the concept wasn't entirely Rubik's; prior attempts had been made using a spherical version of one, but it never took off.  

I remember sitting in class or just out with friends in the playground, and everyone was playing with one of these magical little boxes.  Sometimes my sister and I would fight at the Pizza Hut gumball machine to see who could get the special key-chain version of the toy - of course our mother ended up with it.

As with all my 'Keeping It Old Skool' issues, you need a classic trailer...
