Here’s a story in 100 words. Zsolt is slowly mastering the Rubik’s cube (Hungarian invention) and yesterday decided to teach me the secrets of its colourful patterns and algorithms . . . except my brain has a difference sort of brilliance, and no matter how long I stare at those blocks of colour, I cannot figure how to align a single thing. And then he takes it outta my hands and goes ‘click, clack, clunk’ and BAM – cube is nearly done. That’s when my brain exploded. On the other hand, I’m a much better cook. So I guess we’re even.

P.S. Scientists are sexy! No? Oh, yes.
