Here's an interesting story of a girl in Michigan with Grapheme-Color Synesthesia. In other words, she visualizes each digit, zero through nine, as a different color.

You Can Do It!
Anyone who has spent time trying to solve a Rubik's Cube knows it can be frustrating. (How quickly you can turn order into chaos, never to return to order....) But with a little help from the makers of the cube, you might learn to do it. And quickly impress your friends.
A new web site celebrating the Rubik's Cube's 30th anniversary offers "secrets" to solving the puzzle. Take a look, and your trophy shelf may soon proudly display that long-unsolved puzzle you've had, fully restored to its original six-color-sided glory.
