Capitol Chaos: Government Building Turns Into Giant Rubik's Cube, Officials Scramble to Solve It
In an unprecedented twist that left both politicians and janitors utterly baffled, the Federal Office Complex in Washington D.C. mysteriously transformed overnight into a colossal, fully-functional Rubik's Cube. Witnesses say the building's once-boring facade now sports a dizzying array of colorful squares, spinning and twisting at random intervals, much to the delight of local puzzle enthusiasts and the horror of government employees.
"I came in this morning to find my office on the orange side, but by lunch, I was stuck in the blue corner with the cafeteria," said disgruntled Senator Patty Puzzler. "I don’t know if I’m negotiating bills or solving a three-dimensional Khan Academy tutorial. Either way, it’s making filibusters way more confusing."
The government’s top scientists have been called in, though some speculate this Rubik's Cube metamorphosis is the result of a clandestine experiment gone awry. Dr. I.M. Twisted, lead analyst of the Bureau of Unsolvable Mysteries, commented, "We initially thought it was a prank by rogue intern architects, but the building now requires algorithms to navigate. It's like the legislative process itself—complex, colorful, and occasionally makes you want to throw it against the wall."
In response, Congress has passed a resolution to hold a "Cube-Off" competition, encouraging members to solve the building’s layers as a metaphor for untangling bureaucracy. Meanwhile, the janitorial staff has unionized, demanding hazard pay for "extreme twisting and turning of mop buckets." As the building continues to rotate unpredictably, one thing’s for sure: Washington has never been more puzzling—or more colorful.
