<p>Wow</p>

<p>...Wow.</p>

<p>I think Leyan is one of Tyson's friends...</p>

4

<p>Yep, I know them both. And Tyson (also a Techer) is in Beauty and the Geek 2 -- google it :-P</p>

<p>Leyan also holds the Rubik's cube blindfold solving world record, a title he won from Tyson in November at the Rubik's Cube World Championship. The way blindfold solving works is the timer starts when the solver first sees the cube. The solver then memorizes the cube, puts on the blindfold, and solves. </p>

<p>The Caltech Rubik's cube club has 4 people who can solve the cube blindfolded.</p>

<p>haha! A Techer is on that show, eh, Ben?</p>

<p>I guess I'll have to start watching :p</p>

<p>11 seconds...insanity.</p>

<p>Nerds! </p>

<p>With <em>fast</em> hands... Hm.... I wonder... Nevermind, it's not appropriate for a college chat board. ;-) </p>

<p>I can solve a cube. But it takes me like, a minute and a half or so. I'm slow.</p>

<p>ps. beauty and the geek is such a good show. <3 nerds and ditzy girls</p>

<p>Mangopeachie--The potential is there but sadly, I'm not sure if many Techers know how to take advantage of that.</p>

<p>Erm....except for Ben Golub, of course....and anyone else involved in admissions.....~looks around suspiciously~</p>

<p>Tyson</a> ...</p>

<p>Yeah he's tight on Beauty and the Geek 2...I watched it last week and it was cool.</p>
