what is your nerdiest accomplishment/claim to fame?
Having over 10,000 posts on an online forum does not qualify =P
I'm curious as to how many national calculus champs we have lurking on 2+2.. edit- example: I know one guy who has a geometric theorem named after him. One of my friends can solve a rubix cube in 10 minutes, while another was in the national spelling bee.

I paid my way through a year of university by playing computer games.
I was UK captain at the first World Cyber Games (in Seoul), and played in the precursor the year before. I also spent a year writing about competitive online computer games for a living. Go me!

Doesn't matter, with just a couple of days practice I'm sure most people could do it in under two minutes. It's just memorisation of algorithms.
Apologies for being somewhat nitty, I just wanted to point out that ten minutes isn't at all impressive. Carry on.

[/ QUOTE ] If you solved the cube in under 10 minutes, without knowing the algorithms or having them in hand, and having never tried to solve it before, you would be an absolute super-genius. But otherwise, yeah, competitive cubers do it in like 15-30 seconds.
