I can do the 5x5x5 in about 45 minutes, pretty consistently. I actually find the 4x4x4 to be a bit tougher, because there is no "middle" row, meaning it's tougher to keep track of which side is going to be which color. It can only be solved with one orientation, but you have to plan it out much more thoughtfully. With the odd cubes (3x3x3 and 5x5x5), there are three axes that pass through each other, making a 3D cross. The center square on each face is mounted to that axis, so the colors that need to be opposite each other remain opposite each other. This is not true for the 4x4x4, or even the 2x2x2.

I just checked mine to see if the new version had been released yet, and I, too, had received spam. Best part is who it was from:

A twin study uses the fact that some twins (identical genetic blueprints) are raised in different environments (dissimiliar nurture factors) to reveal a surprisingly high heritability coefficient for things like happiness. It's not all genetic, but a large part certainly is.
This is correct. Since every new IQ test is normed on the current population, we actually see the scores of older people decrease on the new measures. This is probably because of environmental factors (better nutrition, schooling, etc). Older people's lower scores don't reflect a decline in their cognitive abilities, just that the new test is normed for a new, smarter population.
Mods,
Please add "Circle Jerk" as a new/. section. Then people who want to avoid the "OMG, Microsoft's programs have vulnerabilities!!! O GNOES!!!11!1" sarcasm can skip articles with the new "Circle Jerk" icon. Email me if you'd like me to start Photoshopping said icon.
Thanks,
Lars
This has nothing to do with eyewitness testimony. If you want to read about that phenomenon, google "Gary Wells". He's the pioneer in eyewitness testimony research and a professor I had in undergrad.
Yeah, it's the fuel efficiency. It burns really, really hot and spins a turbine that generates the hydraulic pressure used to control several of the other devices on the orbiter.
A few years ago, we built a prototype electric APU to replace the hydrazine model. NASA eventually canned the idea (and our funding, presumably) and decided that they would stick with the current APU.
I found some more info about how the APU works, if you're interested.
I work for the company that makes the orbiter APUs. They are fueled with hydrazine, which is one of the most toxic and flammable substances in the known universe. One of the reasons they wait so long before letting the astronauts out is because they want to make sure all of those gases have vented.

And I thought my P.O.S. Epson 777 made a mess when it jammed....imagine the scene when a spleen gets stuck in there.

what's the use for computers if you don't have food?

Yeah, that's like advertising a keyboard on Slashdot that stops working when a pube or Cheeto powder hits the surface. Just poor marketing, friends.

Sorry, I don't like reading comment after comment hating on MS. I use Linux too, but I don't need to come to /. to feel better about myself.

I'm sure Gerdin's Management Information Systems program would be happy to take you...no trig there.
I'm pretty sure I saw David Copperfield walk through the Great firewall on national TV a few years back...
Now that you mention it....
They make no mention of Vista being susceptible...I think the only way to protect ourselves is to upgrade to the new version of SuperWindows!

In fact, here is his homepage
Agreed.
