Like Robert, because he knows how to restore the Rubik's Cube, Jerry Slokham of Chicago is also famous in school. However, unlike Robert, who feels troublesome, Jerry enjoys everything the Rubik's Cube brings.

Because of the Rubik's Cube, Jerry became the focus of everyone's attention; because of the Rubik's Cube, he made like-minded friends; because of the Rubik's Cube, he made a small profit.

Jerry organized a Rubik's Cube Club, which is a membership system and requires payment to join. After becoming a member, you can learn how to restore the Rubik's Cube with Jerry.

As soon as the club was established, it grew rapidly. With the membership fee alone, Jerry became a little rich man.

But Jerry is not satisfied. How many people can he teach by himself?

He decided to write down the method of restoring the Rubik's Cube, so that those who want to learn Rubik's Cube can do it as long as they read books.

He had thought of the title of the book, and it was called "YouCanDoTheCube".

Jerry believes that this is the best way.

Soon, the publisher found out about Jerry's book writing. The publisher also thought that a book that taught people to restore the Rubik's Cube should have sales, so he found Jerry. Therefore, before the book was written, Jerry sold the book.

I thought that Jerry was not the only one who published the book, but a mathematician at the University of California also had the same idea. He was originally entrusted by a friend from a newspaper to evaluate the toy "Rude Cube". Unexpectedly, this test became fascinated and became a loyal player of Rubik's Cube.

...

On September 5, after Nina's car was repaired, Evan took Audrey and Virginia and the three of them went to Los Angeles together.

Evan thought of paying for Nina to change a new car as Virginia said, but Nina didn't agree. Evan had no choice but to follow her.

After arriving in Los Angeles, the three of them rested in the hotel for a night. The next day, under Carl's leadership, the three of them went to choose a house together.

Virginia didn't want to be a light bulb, but Audrey insisted on letting her go and said, "Virginia, your school starts on the 16th. Will you stay in a hotel next?"

The California Institute of Technology where Evan studied is located in Pasadena, northeast of Los Angeles. The Arts High School where Audrey studied is located in the southwest of downtown Los Angeles, with the two being about fourteen miles (about twenty-two kilometers) apart. To facilitate Audrey, Evan wanted to rent the house close to the Arts High School. After a whole day of selection, after looking at nearly ten houses, the two (Virginia was indeed ignored) finally fell in love with a villa in the University Park area. Near this place is a park, very close to Audrey's school and the commercial district is not far away. Not only is it a good environment, but it is also convenient to choose this place.

The villa is not very large in size, it is a very ordinary two-story building, plus a basement and a small garage, with four bedrooms, two large and two small.

The villa has all the living utensils, cleaned inside and outside, and you can check in with your bag. Everyone prepared personal items such as bed sheets and quilt covers when they came. Therefore, the three of them lived in that night.

The supper was cooked by Audrey and Virginia together, and the ingredients were bought by everyone when they were familiar with the nearby environment.

To thank Carl for his hard work, Audrey invited him to eat and live in the first meal of the new house.

Because the ingredients are limited, the pasta is made. Audrey's cooking skills are pretty good, so Virginia can only do it.

After dinner, Carl said goodbye early and left.

After packing the dining table and kitchen, the three of them went back to the house, and they had to change the bed sheets and quilt covers and other things. Among the four bedrooms, two large ones were downstairs and two small ones were on the second floor. Virginia consciously went up to the second floor and left the two large ones to Evan and Audrey.

After seeing Virginia go upstairs, Audrey thought about it and came to the next door first, helped Evan make the bed before returning to her house.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

As soon as Audrey returned to the house, Evan followed him. He stood at the door, knocked on the open door, and asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, is this castle man stopped?"

Audrey looked up and gave him a blank look, threw the old order in his hand at him, and said, "I said yes, won't you come in?"

Evan nodded and picked up the sheets on the ground, saying, "Of course!"

"I will become a competent guard, guarding the castle gate."

After saying that, Evan turned around and was about to leave.

Audrey stopped him: "Hey...why are you holding the sheets?"

Evan turned around and said for granted: "What can I do... of course I threw it away?"

Audrey hurriedly said, "Don't, it's still new, keep it. It's a waste to throw it away like this."

Naturally, Evan would not distort such a small matter, so he folded the sheets and put them in the bathroom clothes basket. Then, he returned to Audrey's room door and watched her lay the bed alone.

"Audrey?"

"Um?"

"The long night is slow, why don't we do something to pass the time?"

"Yes, what do you want to do?"

"We..." Evan looked at Audrey sitting by the bed, and took out a box of playing cards from somewhere...there was no Kaifeng, and said, "Come and play cards!"

Audrey blinked and said, "Okay!"

...

The next day was Saturday, and Audrey wanted to go to school in advance. When she came for an interview last time, she returned to Sacramento without any rushing to learn about anything.

This time, Virginia said she would not go with them.

So, almost nine o'clock in the morning, Evan took Audrey out and Virginia drove to her school alone, UCLA.

The Handicraft Art High School is located next to the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium. It is one of the oldest high schools in Los Angeles. Its current campus was newly built after the earthquake in 1933, so it has a complete range of facilities. It covers an area of ​​more than 70,000 square meters, half of which are various sports facilities. But after walking around, Evan felt that it was no different from an ordinary school.

Perhaps because the school has not started yet, I have not seen the activities of various art clubs.

As an art high school, there are naturally many artist alumni, such as baritone Lawrence Tibbett, composer Nacio Herb Brown, actress and soprano Katherine Grayson, etc. Of course, these people are not recognized by Erics.

However, one of the people Evan knew graduated from here, who was a admirer of Governor Earl and was competing with Speaker Charles for the position of lieutenant governor.

This fact Evan was surprised by chance when he saw it on the school's well-known alumni bulletin board.

After leaving high school campus, Evan offered to go to the University of Southern California next to him.

The University of Southern California is the oldest private research university on the West Coast of the United States. It was founded in 1880, and the California Institute of Technology was eleven years behind it. It is neighbors with the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium and is less than one kilometer away from the Arts High School.

Because the University of Southern California is adjacent to Hollywood, it is the university with the closest relationship with Hollywood, and its School of Film and Arts is the oldest, largest and most reputable college in the United States.

After parking in the parking lot next to the stadium, Evan and Audrey entered the U.S. campus through the gates of Expo Avenue.

Many of the buildings at USC have a strong Roman style, which reminds Evan of Audrey's classic movie.

At this time, the University of Southern California has not yet started school, but there are many students on campus. When they passed by a school sports field, they saw two teams of rugby teams playing on the field, attracting a large number of students to watch. I don’t know if it was a formal competition or just training.

Seeing the football, Evan remembered an interesting story that happened between the mortal enemies of Southern California and UCLA. So Evan pulled Audrey to a bronze statue in Trousdale Parkway (a street) and introduced: "Audrey, the name of this statue is Tommy Trojan."

Then they walked to a bronze bell, and Evan pointed to it and said, "This is called the victory bell, it turned out to be UCLA. It is now the prize for the winners of the UCLA and the USC football match."

Audrey looked confused and asked, "Why did UCLA's stuff become a competition prize?"

Evan was waiting for Audrey to ask this question, and immediately laughed when he heard this: "This matter is related to a prank five years ago."

"UCLA and USC are close to each other and share the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium. The teams of the two schools are similar in strength and have a strong competitive atmosphere."

"In 1939, this victory bell appeared in UCLA games. Every time your team hit a touchdown, the cheerleaders would ring it. By the way, this bell was given to the school by alumni."

"Five years ago, in 1941, six members of the Trojan Knights of Southern California (a student organization with a bit of fraternity) stole the clock and hid it before a game started. UCLA people knew it was done by people from Southern California, and they tried a lot of effort to find it, but they just couldn't find it. The clock was once hidden in the basement of the SigEp fraternity, the Hollywood Hills, and even in the haystacks."

"This clock has been hidden for more than a year. The next year, its photos were published, which aroused the anger of UCLA students, and the pranks escalated. The bronze statue we just saw was sprayed with red paint by UCLA students, and the USC also burned 'USC' on the grass on other people's campuses accordingly."

"When the matter was about to be in trouble, the principal of the Southern Canadian University intervened. He threatened to cancel the competition permanently if the trouble continued. In this case, the two sides signed an agreement to stop the 'mischief war' between the two schools."

"And this bronze bell, after paying half of the fee in Southern California, has since become the victory trophy in the confrontation."

In the United States, many universities have a culture of prank, but not many people like the University of Southern California have such a large scale for a year.

After listening to Evan's commentary, Audrey just smiled and said, "Fortunately you didn't take the USC, otherwise you and Virginia became 'dead enemy' and I don't know who to support."
