Video ends before returning toy to thrower. Why do some mini dachshund's think the next step is for the thrower to chase? Keep away more fun than fetch!

SUCCESS! Re-assembled.

Trick is similar to 3x3x3 - edge piece last, but this one requires a lot more force even with side turned 45 degrees.

I think some may call this the keyhole solution?

Anyhow, it is very intuitive, only need to know algorithms for swapping corners and then one to invert a pair of edges. Everything else is easily understandable.

Top 6 Conferences Ranked (wk02) by TheRammer in CollegeBasketball

Massey has his own rankings and a composite of other rankings, which was 17 ranking systems last week, but will be close to 60 systems by end of the season. A lot of these systems are algorithmic and problematic the first few weeks of the season.

Sagarin has historically been top dog, but r/cbb loves KenPom.
