I Was Told There Would Be No Math

Written by JOSH Z / 04.11.11

This is called, if I can read the card here, “Bubble-sort with Hungarian (“Csángó”) folk dance,” and this is not so much a post about sports as it is a dare to see how long you’ll watch this. I’d lay even money that you make it to the last 45 seconds, but at that point you’ll actually realize what’s happening. I’m told that this is exactly how they auction off prostitutes in Reykjavik. Those crazy Icelanders like to kick the tires on everything.

Really, my favorite part of this is how each dude slaps his feet in alternating fashion as he retreats back to his “bubble.” That requires an amazing combination of hand speed and prissiness. Johnny Weir wants to try now. Read the rest of this entry »

CHEATING IN SUDOKU TOURNAMENT?

Written by JOSH Z / 10.27.09

Eugene Varshavsky of Lawrenceville, N.J. might be the first guy ever busted for cheating in a Sudoku tournament. Sudoku–that silly little game where incomplete rows and columns of numbers each have the same sum–held a tournament in Philadelphia last weekend,

Varshavsky, playing in a hooded sweatshirt, registered as a walk-on contestant Saturday morning, blazed through the second round in world-class time, but was unable to complete the easy first steps in the championship puzzle. Other competitors, including former winner (and Saturday’s second-place finisher) Thomas Snyder, saw that pattern as a red flag.

“The community of best solvers are very much friends and share solutions and strategies,” Snyder said. “Here was this new guy in a hoodie, acting mysterious and very, very confusing. Yet then, when he had to solve a problem on stage, under intense scrutiny, I saw he was in no way able to solve it.” –Philly Inquirer, via NJ Star-Ledger.

Seriously, what kind of asshole do you have to be to cheat in sudoku? Varshavsky wound up placing third and taking home a $3000 prize. Stealing from nerds is so high-school, man. I can’t imagine how that guy goes to sleep at night…or what he does on the train when he’s bored. Sudoku is easy, man… *pushes up glasses, prepares to be shunned by women everywhere*
