Rubiks cube. May have nothing at all to do with probability, but I admire the thinking behind whoever can solve them. I was on a bus earlier, transitional bike period, and this school-kid solved it twice in about 10 minutes. I watched throughout. Once solved he'd muddle it up again, then 5 minutes later it was all perfect again.
Shit like that's totally beyond me, and I'm impressed by it. It's clearly not random, so governed by some theoretical fact. So what gives? 9 coloured squares must match on a 6 sided object - there's about 5 or 6 different colours. I can't predict or think ahead. What's the secret?
