Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 25, 2015

Combining a couple of these facts, we can theorize that green snow could be a possibility given the right conditions.

I don’t which is more strange: orange snow or olive sand. How do you even write in word form the Rubik’s cube’s configurations (that is quite an awful lot though)?

A deck of cards can be shuffled into 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 different arrangements.

Could have been worse; could have been YELLOW snow.

You don’t even want to go to the beach with the presence of dramamine…

Back in the day when the cubes were popular, I bought a book about solving the thing, and it is not that difficult to memorize. Whenever I was at a house with a Rubik’s cube, I would solve the thing and put it back with all sides the same color. Then I would go home and wait for the phone to ring when it was discovered that the cube had been solved.

Aren’t there 27 pieces in a Rubik’s cube?

Yes, 27 if you count the center piece that connects the 26 visible pieces

And while there are probably several possibilities once you’ve solved the Cube and gotten one color on each side, I thought I once heard that there is ultimately ONE absolutely right answer. That you’ve only TRULY solved it with each color being on a certain side. I don’t remember if that’s true or not.

Doc Savage?

Agreed. #38 (originally #24 in the magazine) was titled Red Snow. “When the red snow descends, all in its path are destroyed, their bodies devoured by the scarlet rot. …”

On the beach, wouldn’t it be the pits if the olive turned out drab?

Just because I need to let my inner number nerd out to play… 43 quintillion, 252 quadrillion, 3 trillion, 274 billion, 489 million, 856 thousand.-Next year’s national debt?

A distinct theme of color in today’s strip.

don’t eat yellow snow or even orange for that matter

A possible Very Dirty Trick would be to Alter the Colors on the Center squares on each Face..This would render the Altered Cube Unsolvable because the relationship between the Center and Corners would never come out “Right”..

Back in 1990, in my little small town in Northeast Tennessee, it rained mud, from a dust storm in Texas.
