a day in the life

On my bus ride home today, there was this kid with a rubiks cube. He messed it up and solved it 20 times on the 40 minute ride home. It was so stressful for him that he had to shake his hands out between rounds. Then he would look around to see who was watching him. He was soooo good that he even had time to make a couple of phone calls on the way. I can't solve one puzzle in 40 minutes, let alone 20! It was everything I had not to laugh.
