Cubefreak is dedicated to the manipulation of Rubik's Cube-like puzzles, including speedcubing (solving the Rubik's Cube in least time possible) and blindfold cubing. If you've never heard of speedcubing, watch a few videos. Enjoy your stay! Warning: Speedcubing is highly addictive. Browse with caution. |
A message from a friend: Speedcubing requires a sharp mind and a great ability to recognize patterns. The same goes for the game poker. The most successful people playing poker online are very good when it comes to detecting patterns in their opponents' game and they use this ability to win money.
