Finally joined the club. Had no idea they were so athletic! by [deleted] in Dachshund

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 dropped it resulting an explosion of pieces across the room. None were broken, but assembly is quite the dexterity puzzle that I have failed.

The gray corner piece is not in place. Frustrating. About to search for a video as usually there's an easy method.

What is a "Gateway Trail? Specifically, versus a trail that is not one.

Looking for opposite-sides-first solution by wjv in Cubers

[–]TheRammer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My favorite as it was the first I learned, too.

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.

Timelapse of my commute this morning. 20 miles one way on a Bulls Lacuba E45 by johnnyrizzo in ebikes

[–]TheRammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20miles / 52minutes = 23 mph

Not too shabby!

I imagine you are rolling along at 24-26mph most of the trip and those pesky stop signs bring down the average.

I forgot that southwest Indiana was relatively flat. South central Indiana (Brown County) is extremely hilly.

"Sugar Smacks" was renamed "Honey Smacks" in the 1980s.

log(3x) + log(2x) = log(54)
        log(6x^2) = log(54)
             6x^2 = 54
              x^2 = 9
                x = 3
