Why Now Is The Time To Visit Iceland
Article from the Times, Oct 11, 2008
“Iceland’s economy may be on the brink of collapse, but there has never been a better time to visit what was previously one of the most expensive destinations in Europe…. There has also been a sharp drop in the price of flights offered by Icelandair, the national carrier, and Iceland Express, a budget airline, as cash-strapped Icelanders have been booking fewer flights than usual. Icelandair holidays start from as low as £199 for three nights at a three-star hotel in Reykjavik, a fall of almost £100 on recent prices.”

Here is a Youtube video [link] from “Pursuit of Happyness” featuring Will Smith as Chris Gardner, solving a Rubik’s cube. “It looks like it works around a swivel – the center pieces never move.”
Also features “speed cubers,” including Leyan Lo, who can solve the cube in 2 minutes…blindfolded.
As for me I just want to know how to finish the puzzle in the first place (without rearranging the stickers on the cube!) :)
