Back when i was still in college, myself and a friend would occasionally perform our "geek party trick", which was that we would sit on the floor, back-to-back, and someone would toss one of us a scrambled cube. Whoever caught it would look at it, make a single quarter-turn on it, and pass it over their shoulder to the other person, who would look at it and make another quarter turn, pass it back, and so on. We could solve it in this fashion in just under 2 minutes. -phil
