Norsk Trivia of the Moment

The world record for solving the most Rubik's Cubes, in series, blind-folded, is held by Norway's Geir "Nei Kikke" Ugelstad, at three.

To compete, contestants are allowed to study the cubes as long as they would like and then are blind-folded and must complete the cubes in succession.




In this photo Herr Ugelstad is using his famous "sove teknikk" to memorize his cube for a special speed event. He would go on to solve his challenge in an amazing 39.31 seconds. On success, the crowd erupted with chants of "Norge avvikende! Skaffe en livet!" roughly meaning, "You're the man!"
