The Zen of the cube.
Being able to solve Rubiks cube very fast is a near useless skill, that takes a lot of time to acquire, and does not typically impress the opposite sex. If you think you have better things to do, I can only agree. You probably have.

So if you want to strive for perfection in some field, cubing is certainly cheaper than golf!
