Problem is due to human factors (such as saliva, tongue size, time of each lick/time tongue touches said pop, etc) there are no consistant results. I personally agree with the owl...and bite the darn thing. As for the Rubik's cube there is amazing research done on that little toy. There were even classes taught on how to solve it at some of the top engineering/science schools when it first came out. The toy is just one giant mathmatical equation. I actually know several people that can solve it in the proposed minimal solution every time...I need my cheat-sheet to do it. I think the words you are looking for right now are nerdy-dork! :D So the tootsie-pop company actually has info on the whole tootsie-pop-lick question.
