Zenek


(YouTube link)

It's difficult to determine exactly what is going on here, because the small amount of information that came with this video is in Polish. Zenek is the "mascot" of the Lublin University of Technology's superconductor laboratory. Isn't he cute? -via Arbroath

It's called the Meissner Effect

They probably have a superconductor in the zenek, and cool it using liquid nitrogen, then put it on the tracks(magnets) which fixes it in position.
Extremely simplified read the wikipedia article :P

I did them all on my own, but only because I sent the link to a friend and we were seeing who could finish it first. Usually I don't have the patience for it, but when there's a chance to gloat I don't pass it up.

For 19 you have to get the block off the swing as quickly as possible. It takes two cuts, a long top left to right bottom slice, then a smaller one quick. It's a bitch to get, definitely the hardest one.
