Date: 23 SEP 1980 0851-EDT From: ZIM at MIT-MC (Mark Zimmermann) Subject: report on DC area cube contest To: CUBE-HACKERS at MIT-MC Hecht's (a local dept. store chain) offerred $100 gift certificate to any one who could get the cube done in 5 minutes (and T-shirts promoting the cube to anyone getting 1 face right in that time), for a 4-hour period last Saturday...I was the 7th to get the cube done (there were a bunch of mathematicians from the University of Maryland there before me)...the store took everyone's name & address & social security numbers...haven't heard anything from them yet, though...there may have been more solvers after I left. --Mark
