bar-Cubemeister: A tribute to Rubik and the Master thereof

Growing up, bragging rights were not difficult to come by. My uncle had written a number 1 country music song. My family inherited "George" a skeleton used in the movie "Journey to the Center of the Earth". My parents speak Klingon (maybe that isn't something I should brag about). But my ultimate bragging right that has always elevated me to "coolest person" among my peers (even to this day) is my father, Brent W. Barlow, Master of the Cube (aka Cubemeister). Back in the early adopting days of Rubik's Cube, my father's affinity for puzzles led him to solving the rubik's cube (without any help). He then wrote a book (ISBN: 0-89036-166-5) on his rubik techniques (see figure 1). As if that wasn't enough, Channel 4 did an exclusive interview, knighting him "Master of the Cube". Since then, he has mastered solving it blind folded, and has over 5 variations of other cubes.

Hot Damn.

Here is the cover of his book, along with some interesting things that deal with the Rubik's Cube.
