Golly. The World Record for the 3x3 Rubik’s cube is now under 3 seconds - and way under it too.

Congratulations to Teodor Zajder!

STEFFAN ALUN: STAND UP comes to WMC Cardiff tonight!

Small number of tickets still available - linked in the replies. Help me sell it out!

Someone asked me what I bring to my shows, so here you go. Details in the alt text!
1. Laptop (for making notes to help remember the show) 2. Notebook and pens (for making notes when I remember I don't like using the laptop) 3. Toiletries and hairbrush (people paid good money, they deserve me at my hottest) 4. Novel (which I won't get around to reading) 5. Puzzle book (only difficult puzzles remaining, boo) 6. Rubik's cube (trying to master it because my 6-year-old niece keeps asking me to solve hers) 7. Outfit for first half (with bi pride pin!) 8. Outfit for second half (needs ironing) 9. Kitchen timer (if you know you know)

Part 1/2 — HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020251.jpg
#epsteinweb #houseoversight020251
99 MacAskill had stayed at the W Hotel when Poitras and Greenwald Poitras went to the Mira Hotel. Poitras did not want to bring along an uninvited guest to the first meeting with Citizen Four. As instructed, at 10 AM on June 3" she and Greenwald went to the Mira restaurant. They gave the recognition signal, twice. After a few minutes, a young man walked over to them, holding a Rubik cube. Greenwald noted: “The first thing I saw was the unsolved Rubik’s cube twirling in the man’s left hand.” The man said “Hello” and introduced himself as "Ed Snowden." Greenwald was particularly surprised by Snowden’s boyish looks. “The initial impression was one of extreme confusion,” Greenwald wrote in his book. “I was expecting to meet somebody in his sixties or seventies, someone very senior in the agency, because I knew almost nothing about him prior to our arrival in Hong Kong.” His initial confusion was understandable. Snowden, it will be recalled, had falsely identified himself to them in an email as a senior member of the intelligence community. Snowden led Greenwald and Poitras through various corridors of the hotel to his room, 1014. It was in a single room mainly occupied by a king-sized bed. Its other furniture included a sleek writing desk in the corner, a modernistic chair and a tall lamp. The bathroom was behind a glass partition, which could be closed off by a black louver blind. There was also a small refrigerator in the minibar in which Snowden asked them to stow their cell phones, Snowden had already told Poitras that he wanted her to make a documentary of the meeting. She therefore wasted no time in mounting her camera on a tripod. “Minutes after meeting, I set up the camera.” Snowden had told her, as she later recalled, “when you are involved in an action which is likely to get you indicted, you typically don’t have a camera rolling in the room.” Nevertheless, he allowed her to film his actions for the next eight days. One possible reason is that he had no

journalists arrived late in the evening of June 2nd, 2013. Snowden’s message was waiting. Snowden’s instructions were themselves an exercise in control. Snowden had written them: “On timing, regarding meeting up in Hong Kong, the first rendezvous attempt will be at 10 A.M. local time. We will meet in the hallway outside of the restaurant in the Mira Hotel. I will be working on a Rubik’s cube so that you can identify me. Approach me and ask if I know the hours of the restaurant. I’ll respond by stating that I’m not sure and suggest you try the lounge instead. I’ll offer to show you where it is, and at that point we’re good. You simply need to follow naturally.” Even though such tradecraft was unnecessary since Snowden was registered at the hotel under his true name, he had provided the journalists with the atmospherics of “an international spy thriller,” as Greenwald subsequently described the instructions.

on June 3“ 2013, he displayed in his hand, as a recognition signal. It was an unsolved Rubik’s Cube. It may also be an appropriate metaphor for the unsolved elements in the Snowden enigma. Even in his later interviews with journalists in Moscow, Snowden studiously avoided describing the means by which he breached the entire security regime of America’s most secret intelligence service. He only told the journalists who came to Moscow to interview him, with a bit of pseudo-modesty, that he was not “an angel” who descended from heaven to carry out the theft. But the question of how Snowden stole these documents may be the most important part of the story. The NSA, after all, furnishes communications intelligence to the President, his National Security advisers, and the Department of Defense that is supposedly derived from secret sources in adversary nations. If these adversary nations learn about the NSA’s sources, the information, if not worthless, cannot be fully trusted. The most basic mission of the NSA is to protect its sources. Yet, despite all its efforts, Snowden walked away with long lists of its sources. In doing so, he amply demonstrated that a single civilian employee working for an outside contractor, even HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_020192

History has been made
The first ever officially recorded sub-3 second 3x3 Rubik's Cube solve has occurred at a competition in Gdansk, Poland
At a time of 2.76 seconds, this is now the official 3x3 single world record
Congratulations, Teodor Zajder!

Niche post but the Rubik's Cube world record has just been broken and it's the first ever sub three second world record. And the person who has broken it is the loveliest Polish kid . It's the loveliest news plus a blooming incredible solve. Video not yet available as it just happened #SpeedCubing

recog- nize Greenwald and Poitras because there were many photographs of them on the Internet. In any case, they gave the recognition signal, twice, in the des- ignated place, and a young man walked over to them holding a Rubik’s Cube. Greenwald noted, “The first thing I saw was the unsolved Rubik’s Cube, twirling in the man’s left hand.” The man said, “Hello,” and introduced himself as “Ed Snowden.” Greenwald was particularly surprised by Snowden’s boyish looks. | | Epst_9780451494566_2p _all_ri.zindd 90 © 9/29/16 5:51PM | | HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_019578

I know a Rubik's cube is definitely solvable but I have no earthly grasp of how this is in fact possible this may well be the gordions knot to me rn

Very awesome!! I've heard it's a bit like trying to solve a Rubik's cube esp in terms of shape, binding affinity to the target etc. This article talks about what I mean. Mess with literally one amino acid and the whole thing falls apart.

Cognitive Overload:

Just spent the last three hours trying to solve this Rubik's cube my nephew left at my place. Got two sides done and then... my brain just hit a wall. You know that feeling when you're staring at something and all the patterns just start blurring together?
