Totally unrelated... - Tugdual - 05-28-2014 08:24 PM
...to calculators but somehow I believe there will be a public for that video here
Wonder if he is fed with intravenous injections...
For God sake, I just can't believe the guy recorded himself 8h solving a Pentamix.

Amazing...
I always wonder how these guys can solve 3x3 Rubik cubes in a matter of a few seconds... in the 80's I have finally "fixed" mine by just opening it with a screwdriver!

I think a 1x1x2 is about the biggest I can handle without a solution guide.

This video documents eight hours wasted in the life of a genius.

Your 8 hours or his 8 hours, genius? :-)

Wish I could solve such puzzles, Alex. Of course, instead of toying my time away, I'd rather find a solution for a stable economy, an eternal source of energy and a cure for cancer ;-).

Wow, what a talent. I admit I can't compete.

No smoking and no laboratory experiments disguised as food. No preservatives, no additives, no stabilizers, no flavor enhancers, no food colorants, no problem!
Oh yeah, and horses, not buses.

You also forgot: No alcohol. Tounge cancer et al. kill at least life quality.

If people were not bombarded with chemicals and food additives they would probably be healthier.
Sorry to hear about your ailment. Best wishes for your good health

Diesel is probably a lot healthier than gasoline.

Absolute

Don't forget 7 billion people being a really attractive market for viruses. A 500 MT habitat to be conquered. ;) And large scale probabilities are difficult to put on the few people each of us knows.

Instead of speculating about gasoline, we should get things out of our lives that are *known* to cause cancer, right? :-)

Absolutely.

Oh, that's different then.

The WHO is about as trustworthy as the UN. Which is to say on a scale of 1 to 10 they owe points. The last thing the world needs is a political agenda in medical advice, policy, etc. The UN kills more people than diesel fuel and gasoline combined. With the UN gone everybody would be healthier.

Now you're getting off-topic. I can claim with the same right that your statement applies to another Ux but I won't - let's stop here.

I'm closing this thread. Yes, it's Not Remotely HP Calculators, which is fine, but now it's getting offensive.
