While the Knight's Tour is a classic feat, it's not easy to find videos of it being performed. In fact, at this writing, the only other Knight's Tour video I've ever run across is the one featuring Xaver Neuhausler.

Lior Manor, whose own Knight's Tour routine I recently reviewed, recently alerted me to the above footage of Gerry McCambridge performing the Knight's Tour from his NBC special. Thanks again, Lior!

If you thought the Rubik's Cube was tough, imagine trying to solve a similar puzzle with twice as many sides! Megaminx is exactly that - a puzzle with 12 sides. Stefan Pochmann, whom I've mentioned on this blog before, is able to solve this in less than a minute and a half, as shown in this MySpace video, which is also available in a Windows Media version.

According to Speedcubing.com's list of unofficial world records, Stefan also holds the unofficial world record for fastest Megaminx average time over 10 tries!

Jessica Fridrich has a very special place of honor among Rubik's Cube solvers. She is the creator of the “CFOP” method (Cross, First 2 Layers, Orient Last Layer, Permute Last Layer) of speedsolving the cube. CFOP is the single most popular method used by speedsolvers of the Rubik's Cube.

Above, you see Jessica solving the Cube in 15.98 seconds, and there is another video of her solving it in 16.74 seconds, as well. No, these videos are not sped up, but the method she uses sure make it seem that way!

Toby Mao, on August 6th, 2006, in San Francisco's Exploratorium, solved a scrambled Rubik's Cube in only 10.48 seconds! This beats Leyan Lo's previous world record of 11.13 seconds.

There's another video of Toby's world record solve available, as well. This second one shows the solving process close-up.
