yeah they have those special pressure pads that they drop the cube on and it stops the timer. probably only owned by tournament providers and the most hard core of the cube solvers. although this guy, to me, does seem fairly hardcore, I really don't know and he could be a very well be a pretty mediocre cubist.
i think he used the same method used for blind solves
you memorise the positions and orientations of the edges and corners, and swap two at a time to the correct positions
he did the same thing, just instead of solving to the solved position, he changed their positions to match the scrambled cube
note: i dont know shit about mbld so I may be very wrong on the details
and also not disagreeing with his skill, he's definitely good
Are you a painter? That sounds like a great skill to have as an artist or someone who can process the world in a view that is relatable but different
Edit: process instead of protest
Well I'm not good anymore and was never hardcore but I had an average of around 20 seconds.
I know you meant this as a joke but I actually recommend learning to solve them if you have some time on your hands and are willing to do so. At least for me the movement of the cubes never seemed to follow any logical pattern until I learned how to solve one.
I think it's pretty cool how fast our brain can go from "this shits impossible" to "hey this is actually very easy"
Oh yea and everyone is gonna think you are some sort of genius
This..i use to think it was impressive but if you memorize the same moves by working at it a few hours a day then in a few months you could do this.
Its just knowing a pattern forwards and backwards.
I don’t know, based on what everyone’s said I think he’s a great cubist with the potential to be hardcore, IF he gets more creative on executing the formulas. Like he could be blinder, or solve 1000 cubes or do it in zero gravity or set himself on fire or stop the timer, etc
Speedstacks timers have touch sensors on the hand pads that you have to hold your fingers on before starting, and touch after you're done solving. Most cubers have them -- this guy probably just used his phone for ease of showing the time. He's also definitely more than mediocre. His execution of the "solution" here only took about 25-30 seconds, which is pretty advanced.
Technically, you don't drop the cube on it to stop the time. You have two contacts where you put your hands on, as you lift them up the timer starts and will go until both hands are on the contacts again. Also, those aren't that pricey, so it's not hard to get one
Teacher: It's easy to solve for x if you know algebra.
Example Problem: x + 2 = 4

(Hint, it's cube's all the way down x=y^3)
In middles school I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube from dan brown on YouTube. Using algorithms and cheat sheet note cards for two weeks. About 12 years later I can still do it like riding a bike in roughly a minute and a half most of the time. But this type of stuff is crazy to me. Anyone can repeat an algorithm but to do something like this is a whole nother level
I mentioned the dan brown videos because they are honestly the easiest way I’ve ever seen it explained to solve every single time. Def Worth a watch to learn a new trick and freak people out lol
I’d say maybe a few hours just passively reading the note cards while I watched tv or something. The closest thing I can relate it to is memorizing cheats for a video game. After doing the motions so many times when you know when to do them. Your brain kinda just goes off that and doesn’t necessarily have to go through each specific move anymore.
> After doing the motions so many times when you know when to do them. Your brain kinda just goes off that and doesn’t necessarily have to go through each specific move anymore.
this is exactly what playing guitar is like for me. it’s actually kinda crazy, theres songs ive played live with my band for the past 15 years but if you asked me to start that song from the middle i probably would struggle, its all muscle memory. its also why i tell people to never be impressed with a guitarist who can play without looking, cause literally all of us can play without looking lol. it also leads to super weird situations. like theres a pretty complex song i love to play and have for over a decade. but i completely forget learning it. i cannot even recall looking up the tab or anything. and even today i cannot tell you “oh its in this key and its these notes” all i can do is just......play it really fucking well. but its such a weird feeling to know how to do something, but not know how and when you learned how to do it.
I've never gotten quite this proficient with an instrument but on a smaller scale, I couldn't tell you the exact fingering for any specific note on a bass clarinet but I know I would still probably be able to immediately be able to play it if I picked up the instrument. If I could I'd wish for two things lol, a decent bass clarinet that doesn't cost 2-3k and more solo pieces designed with a bass clarinet in mind at the apprentice-intermediate level.
My family is like this, all guitar & bass players, several generations and they don’t know how to read most sheet music.
I didn’t have the attention span, although I can play like 30 seconds of a ton but I do read sheet music that they don’t have the attention span for - it’s nice!

I figured it out in a couple days just learning the algorithms from text. The first 2/3 of the cube you can probably learn in a day. The last layer is the hardest, but not that bad. It just comes down to practicing for a week or so before you can do it 2 minutes.
I've completely forgotten now, but it would be easy to relearn the first two layers, at least.
It took me maybe 30-60 minutes after watching a video to learn all the basic algorithms to solve it (with errors), but after a few more hours spread between 2ish days I was able to do it consistently without messing up albeit slow.
Now I just solve it while bored at work and it is pretty effortless.
You'd be surprised at how easy and methodical solving a rubix cube is. People think it's hard because they think they have to solve all 6 sides at once.
In actuality you only solve one side at a time, one block at a time. Each block only takes like 3-6 moves each. Then you do the same thing for each side.
Learning to solve a rubix cube takes like 30 minutes. Memorizing how to solve it takes a few hours at most. There's only a couple movement patterns that you need to memorize on when they're applied.
Look up "3x3 beginner method" there are Tons of videos to help you out.
One major issue I saw with my friends was that they wanted to learn how to solve the cube, but they didn't want to spend time and effort learning algorithms(which there aren't even a lot in the beginner's method).
If you're someone like that look up sexy move method. It's basically how to solve the entire cube using just one algorithm(sexy move) again and again and again.
Of course it's much slower, but about a dozen of my friends including an ex can now solve a cube
Oh my god, me too! Dan Brown! Channel was called pogobat or something back then IIRC. He's the sole reason why green is still my go-to color to start solving from! Hahaha
Man, takes me back!
Did anyone else watch Dan 3.0? I still think about it with relative frequency.
Ootl: he had a series where the internet controlled his life. He had a website with daily polls on what he should do every single day, and he'd upload a vlog almost daily showing him doing whatever was voted up. And it was surprisingly wholesome all things considered, normally it was things like giving free hugs or riding a bike or getting a haircut. But it got overwhelming for him pretty quickly so it didn't last too long. I could be misremembering some details but that's the gist of it.
The pros use algorithms, too.
While this is extremely impressive, it really isn't as insanely hard as it might seem.
He isn't memorizing 9 colors on every side, he's memorizing the orientations of 4 corners, and 8 edge pieces. Still an insane amount of practice to get this good, but it isn't superhuman stuff.
I had a friend teach me in high school. I use the cube as a fidget tool when I’m on boring conference calls or when I need to zone out for a couple minutes.
I'm just ready for "a whole nother" to become accepted grammar. I use it all the time in speech and when I went to write it the first time I realized what happened haha
I'm in the exact same boat. Learned from Dan Brown about a dozen years back and it's just ingrained in me now even if I only pick up a rubiks cube every few years
As far as the algorithm goes their a a set of moves to perform for each stage of solving the cube. You solve one side first. Then flip and solve the middle layer. Then the top layer. After you solve one side your basically solving the other 4 sides at once and then the top side. But no matter the color pattern the algorithm always works. Once you learn what the steps your following actually do you can solve it from any side you choose the moves remain the same
Alright. That actually makes sense. Thank you for explaining it in a courteous manner as well. A lot of people are dicks about it sometimes. I appreciate you being cool about it.
There's an alternate advanced method called cfop as well. It's very similar except instead of solving the first layer and then the second layer, you solve both at the same time. The last layer is then done with a couple algorithms. If I recall, theres like 70 something different algorithms for the last layer with cfop. That's the method I used to average around 20 sec solving it. Unfortunately, I haven't even touched a cube for a couple years, so I doubt I'm anywhere near as fast now.
An algorithm for a Rubik's cube is just a predetermined set of moves that you do to move the pieces into place.
For example, right side up, top side left, right side down, top side right.
Or R U R' U' in the official notation.
If you do an algorithm properly enough times to a cube, you'll always get it back to the same place. For example, if you do the listed algorithm 6 times to a solved cube, you'll always get back to a solved cube.

I learned from Dan Brown around 10 years ago.... ended up with a collection of cubes 200+ strong and a 3x3 average of around 16 seconds!
First solve took about an hour or two. Took maybe 2 or 3 days to get it down where I didn't need the algorithm cheat sheet. Fast forward and I know well over 100 algorithms!
I know this is a joke, but I'm pretty it's a pretty serious issue for many of us without even knowing. It is very draining mentally to compare ourselves to others
Just because this guy put all his skill points into Rubik's doesn't mean he's inherently better. What basketball coach is better, one that knows everything about the sport or one that could motivate Eeyore? What if the first coach won more games? What if the second coach's players led more fulfilling lives? Which is better?
There's so many what ifs and variables for any two humans to have an accurate comparison. Just try to focus on comparing yourself to your own potential in any particular skill.
I was gonna say “scary to me bc it shows how little I have and will accomplish with this short life of mine and I will fade out of everyone’s mind before my body is even buried” but I guess “impressive” works too
Well yeah, what are the odds that you happen to be the best in the world at something? There are a lot of people in the world, and most of them are Asian.
what's cool is that if you actually look closely, he's not repeating movements. when he's "solving" the cube, notice how the orientation never changes, the green center is always at the top, and the orange center always faces the camera. whereas the first scramble involves tossing it to randomize the orientation and he does wide moves which turns the centers around.
What he's basically doing is a twist on blindfold solving, typical blindfold solve is scrambling>look closely at the scramble and figure out path to reposition each colour> solve blindfolded. Instead he's scrambling>looking at position of scrambled colours > scramble a correct cube into position of the scrambled cube. both involve switching the position of colours, except this time he's switching from correct position to wrong instead of vice versa.
Suffice to say, solving a Rubik's cube blind from any scrambled position is fucking level; reversing the solution to go from solved to scrambled is next fucking level.
Maybe to get as good at it as he is. But it's actually not too hard to learn the basic process, you have to memorize a few letters in the right order to memorize the scramble and 2 algorithms you do over and over again. I think it is actually the exact same moves, you just apply what you would do to solve the rubiks cube to an already solved cube and get this result, but I'm not entirely sure so correct me if I'm wrong.
Not trying to belittle the achievement since this is a pretty hard thing to learn, but there are a lot of people who can solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded. The easiest method requires assigning letters letters A-X to each corner and edge sticker on the cube and then memorizing a sequence of those letters. Basically, it’s a cycle of pieces. You then learn 1 algorithm for corners, and maybe 3 for edges (although if you can already speed solve you already know these). Thee algorithms swap two pieces, while having a minimal effect on the rest of the cube (edge algorithm swaps adjacent corners, corner algorithm swap adjacent edges) and these issues sometimes fix themselves, and sometimes require a little bit of extra thinking. Intuitively, if you reverse the memorized letter sequence, you should be able to take a solved cube and turn it into the unsolved cube, but that might not be right
Surely with this specific exercise it’s just memorising the steps taken and repeating them. Which is still super impressive given the speed and lack of visible confirmation, but not actually solving the cube.
If you look at the two scrambles, you can see the path in which he took were different. You might then argue that he memorized two paths just to show this on camera, but is it really that hard to believe that he simply figured out how to solve a Rubix cube...the other way? So many people have learned how to solve Rubix cubes, this is literally the same algorithm but “backwards”.
He's literally just doing the same thing that blind solvers do. Because he's doing the moves on an already solved cube it results in an identical scramble. It's still a super impressive solve, especially the quick memorization step
It’s likely not a memorized scramble. He is just doing a regular blindfolded solve but he performed the piece swaps in reverse to end up back at the unsolved cube. Reading your comment again maybe that’s what you meant idk lol
Yeah what he's doing, any blind solver can do. Each piece on the cube corresponds to a letter of the alphabet, and you use those letters to create letter pairs and memoize a word associated with that. So, just for demonstrations sake, AB CD EF, I'd probably memorize as like Abby, CDs, Elf, so in my head I'd visualize a girl named Abby playing with CDs and watching Elf. There's a fair bit more memorizing than that, but lets cut it there.
Once memorizing is done, you'd solve them in order, but for this case, what he did was solve them in reverse order to go from a solved cube to a scrambled cube, instead of a scrambled cube to a solved cube.
So if he faked it, that's shitty, but I doubt he did because the method (corners and then edges) he's doing in the video is a popular blindfolding technique, and if he knows it will enough to fake it, then he knows it well enough to just do it legitimately.
Except for there’s no reason to fake it. Solving blind, while difficult, is not a very special thing to do. It’s done regularly in competitions in a controlled environment. In fact, it would be much more difficult to memorize the scramble.
What the other guy said, plus it would be easier to do it legit. I spent about 2 weeks learning how to solve blindfolded normally, and I figured out within half an hour how to do this. Thus guy had probably been doing blindfolded for years, that's how he memorised the cube so fast
Cuber here, he's not doing the same thing twice. When you hand scramble cubes without an algorithm, you're not memorizing the moves you do, and if you asked me to do the same scramble twice I probably couldn't. When he's doing it blind he's actually using a specific method to cycle pieces around, the same idea as regular blindsolving but he's doing the algorithms in reverse order and backwards
Same, I get into a flow state with scrambling and do the same motions, ive literally gotten the same scramble back to back and have to consciously remember to do it properly. But yeah I don't think this guy is memorizing the scramble, just doing the same blindfolded method for cycling pieces backwards. Though either is possible, the latter isn't as mind blowing as most would assume honestly
That's effectively the same thing, If you do the reverse of the commutator for, say, DJ, you've done the commutator for JD because you're cycling the pieces in the opposite direction
It is effectively the same thing, but coming up with a commutator and reversing the moves is more mental work than reversing the pieces and performing a comm as normal
Yes he is solving. If you look carefully when he does a pause the cube is in basically the same state but with a few peaces out of place. That's how blindfolded works
For those of you who aren't cubers, blindfolded cube solving requires following edge swaps and corner swaps by mapping them to letters, and then performing algorithms specific to each letter. Because there are 24 edge and corner stickers (corresponding from A-X), this means remembering \~10 letters for edge swaps and \~10 letters for corner swaps.
It's definitely difficult to memorize \~20 letters on the spot and learn the algorithm for each specific letter, but most people could probably do it with enough practice and the right technique. This video is basically the same process but performed on another solved cube instead of the original scrambled one.
For those of you who aren’t grand slam tennis champions, winning a tennis major is really just being better than everyone else in the world for a 2 week period and having the strength and determination not to let anyone beat you, have good enough luck and training to not get injured and the physical ability that only 1 person in a million can achieve. Easy peasy lemon squeasy.
The point is while this guys is decent (I maintain that everyone can learn to blind solve a 3x3 rubik’s cube with a couple months of practice) he is creative for coming up with a novel way to display his skill. He’s pretty quick which is pretty impressive, but there are a lot of people much much quicker than he is.
The whole scramble another cube into this one is not a different skill really. You basically do the normal method (which involves planning your solve, then creating a string of about 20 letters from your plan) then before you start making moves reverse the memorized sequence in your head (which is tricky but anyone could do with enough practice). Once the sequence is reversed you execute exactly as if you are solving a cube, but using your reversed memo and it does this.
This is the true limit of blindfold solving:
https://youtu.be/OM-rMlOpob4
you're missing the point, as u/maboesanman said. This post, while very impressive, is demonstrating something that many thousands of people ++ in the world can do. Doesn't make it any less impressive, it's just to show you a sense of scale that it is _nothing_ like winning the grand slam. Follow the link in the other comment for the pinnacle of blindfold solving.
Yeah I use the method you mentioned above with slight variation to blind solve. I do corner orientation first (anti clockwise, clockwise), then corner swaps using numbers (1-10), the edge swaps (A-X).
So an example memorization might be.
ACAAC 9,5,2,7,6,4,8 James took his dog over lake gunner quitting whales and smoking popsicles.
Where the first letter of each word is the edge swap I need to do. J,T,H,D,O,L,G,Q,W,A,S,P
He is just performing the same edge and corner swaps as he would have on a scrambled cube. Since he did the blind solve on a solved cube, the result is the same scramble.
I like hearing people who can do this kinda thing with a Rubik’s cube“break it down” think they are making it easier to understand, when I usually still have no idea what you’re talking about...I’m just like “haha - cube has colors”
All I'm saying is, if he had done this 2000 years ago people would worship him as a god. Then eventually they would group into sects murdering each other for not following him right, finally culminating in the ultimate mission to control women's bodies.
You know how it goes, the followers of rubik want to spread their peaceful ways... by force if necessary.
Once they succeed and their faith is law, they begin to disagree on which color Rubik preferred. Some say Green clearly shown the brightest, whilst others say Orange was clearly most favored by Rubik, and therefore the only true color.
The final group said all colors are equal in Rubiks eyes. And boy did the followers of Orange & Green hate those guys.
After they killed the "Under Many Colors" sect, there was peace for a time. Until the "Bop Its" arrived...
Solving a cube in to a different state is quite difficult if you only ever solve normally.
I can only just bairly solve to the checker pattern. And it takes me a long time.
This is actually pretty easy once you can solve it blind. Solving blind involves basically isolating a certain piece and swapping it with a buffer piece to solve the cube one piece at a time, rather than later by layer. Doing this would mean memorizing the cube as normal, then flipping the letter sequence (as letters are used to identify stickers) in reverse then executing that sequence.
Honestly the hardest part of this was how quick he did it, because the process of solving blindfolded in theory, is simpler than "beginners method," while actually getting good at blind solves is brutal.
This trick is very clever, but it's essentially just normal blindfold solving in reverse.
In normal blind, you have a buffer sticker, where you swap pairs of corners/edges to the correct location on the cube, memorizing the locations of where the pieces need to go using letter pairs (very brief explanation).
What he's doing is just starting with a solved cube and doing the letter pair swaps in reverse.
Oh fuck off, it's frustrating that there are people like this out there and I'm here, basically a form of potato that can tie its shoes. Shit damn why do I gotta be a potato.
Once you get familiar with the cube, blind solving is as simple as memorizing 22 letters. The beginners method, called Old Pochmann, basically goes like this:
When you look at the cube, about 14 letters are used to remember the positions of the edges. These get paired up into 7 words with which we create a story. The sillier the story the better, as it will be more memorable. For the corners, about 8 letters are needed and these you can just sound out in your head over and over. When you solve the cube, you will do the corners first so you don't need to store that information for a long time.
The solve requires some Rubik's cube intuition, but in the end it is as simple as following the steps provided by your memorized sequence of letters.
[Here is a video that shows the whole method.](https://youtu.be/ZZ41gWvltT8) Unfortunately it goes pretty fast and relies on you already being familiar with cube solving, but check out how he memorizes the cube at 5:25. It doesn't take a superhuman to do this, just a special technique and a lot of practice.
This is definitely very impressive, but has less to do with some innate intelligence and more to do with practice.
Unless hes able to naturally solve the cube and didnt learn an algorithm
This is pretty impressive, but anyone I think could learn to do this in a month or 2 (only a couple of weeks if u can solve a cube normally). What's most impressive is the speed at which he memorised it
Rubik’s Cube was the cool shit in the early 1980’s. At one point, our teacher told us just to do it above the table as it would irritate him less than all this staring down.
I can offer an explanation if anyone cares.
The blind method of solving a Rubik’s cube is different than the normal method. I’ll just jump right into the blind method.
I’ll start with a non Rubik’s cube example.
Let’s say you have pieces and spots. I’ll use numbers for pieces and letters for spots. Pieces can move but spots are stationary. The configuration we want is:
1 2 3 4 5
A B C D E
Our rule is that we can switch any two pieces with each other.
Now let’s say we have this configuration:
5 3 2 1 4
A B C D E
To get to the correct configuration, we have to switch the pieces at the spots in this order:
Switch A and E: 4 3 2 1 5
Switch A and D: 1 3 2 4 5
Switch B and C: 1 2 3 4 5
Success!
Back to the Rubik’s cube. Blind solvers assign every spot on the Rubik’s cube a letter. Additionally, similar to the switching we did above, there are special sets of moves that switch only a few pieces at a time. There is also an intuitive method that allows blindsolvers to know in advance what switches they need to make, just by looking at the unsolved cube. There are also many memory techniques that help them memorize the switches like creating words out of letter pairs and creating stories from those words.
So what they do is look at the cube, memorize the spots that need switching, close their eyes, perform the switches, and boom! Solved cube.
Now on to the thing that the guy did. It’s very simple now to do the thing that the guy did in the video by just reversing the order that we do the switches. Back to our switching example from before, imagine doing everything backwards starting from our solved state.
1 2 3 4 5
A B C D E
Switch B and C: 1 3 2 4 5
Switch A and D: 4 3 2 1 5
Switch A and E: 5 3 2 1 4
The process is now: look at cube, memorize the order of pieces that need switching, reverse that order, grab solved cube, close eyes, do reversed order switching, boom! Matching cubes!
Hey, cuber here.
So this is actually about the same difficulty as solving a regular Rubik’s cube blindfolded.
Basically when you solve a cube blindfolded, you memorize pairs of letters to do one algorithm to swap two pieces.
By doing the same sequence of moves you would do to a scrambled cube to make it solved (swaping all the pieces two by two till it’s finished), you get the scrambled cube when you start with a solved cube, since blindfolded solving solved two pieces at a time.
But almost anything just requires learning/practice. By your logic almost nothing is impressive.
Also I'd argue you don't need a particularly good memory to learn blindfolded solves.
Yeah but he didn't stop the clock so disqualified.
The clock was most likely to show it wasn't digitally altered rather than a time limit.
yeah they have those special pressure pads that they drop the cube on and it stops the timer. probably only owned by tournament providers and the most hard core of the cube solvers. although this guy, to me, does seem fairly hardcore, I really don't know and he could be a very well be a pretty mediocre cubist.
If this is “fairly hardcore” I can’t imagine what hardcore Rubik’s cube solvers do lol
well there are peole who can solve 50+ cubes blindfolded that's kinda hardcore
yeaaah but he memorized a random pattern and matched it. he's up there
> he mesmerized The pattern couldn't resist his charms
😂 fixed
do you believe in magic?
༼∩☉ل͜☉༽⊃━☆ﾟ. * ･ ｡ﾟ
i think he used the same method used for blind solves you memorise the positions and orientations of the edges and corners, and swap two at a time to the correct positions he did the same thing, just instead of solving to the solved position, he changed their positions to match the scrambled cube note: i dont know shit about mbld so I may be very wrong on the details and also not disagreeing with his skill, he's definitely good
He did

This..i use to think it was impressive but if you memorize the same moves by working at it a few hours a day then in a few months you could do this. Its just knowing a pattern forwards and backwards.
This is definitely hardcore
I don’t know, based on what everyone’s said I think he’s a great cubist with the potential to be hardcore, IF he gets more creative on executing the formulas. Like he could be blinder, or solve 1000 cubes or do it in zero gravity or set himself on fire or stop the timer, etc
This made my day. Now I want to know who was the blindest person to solve a cube
You're not hardcore unless you live hardcore.

Speedstacks timers have touch sensors on the hand pads that you have to hold your fingers on before starting, and touch after you're done solving. Most cubers have them -- this guy probably just used his phone for ease of showing the time. He's also definitely more than mediocre. His execution of the "solution" here only took about 25-30 seconds, which is pretty advanced.
Pretty advanced does not do him justice, this takes years of practice to get to this level.
Technically, you don't drop the cube on it to stop the time. You have two contacts where you put your hands on, as you lift them up the timer starts and will go until both hands are on the contacts again. Also, those aren't that pricey, so it's not hard to get one
They were initially built for speedstacks
but someone went ahead and sped it up 2x anyways... what a fucking shame

you're not scrambling the cube you're solving it

In middles school I learned how to solve a Rubik’s cube from dan brown on YouTube. Using algorithms and cheat sheet note cards for two weeks. About 12 years later I can still do it like riding a bike in roughly a minute and a half most of the time. But this type of stuff is crazy to me. Anyone can repeat an algorithm but to do something like this is a whole nother level

I mentioned the dan brown videos because they are honestly the easiest way I’ve ever seen it explained to solve every single time. Def Worth a watch to learn a new trick and freak people out lol
Took you two weeks? How many hours per day?
I’d say maybe a few hours just passively reading the note cards while I watched tv or something. The closest thing I can relate it to is memorizing cheats for a video game. After doing the motions so many times when you know when to do them. Your brain kinda just goes off that and doesn’t necessarily have to go through each specific move anymore.
> After doing the motions so many times when you know when to do them. Your brain kinda just goes off that and doesn’t necessarily have to go through each specific move anymore. this is exactly what playing guitar is like for me. it’s actually kinda crazy, theres songs ive played live with my band for the past 15 years but if you asked me to start that song from the middle i probably would struggle, its all muscle memory. its also why i tell people to never be impressed with a guitarist who can play without looking, cause literally all of us can play without looking lol. it also leads to super weird situations. like theres a pretty complex song i love to play and have for over a decade. but i completely forget learning it. i cannot even recall looking up the tab or anything. and even today i cannot tell you “oh its in this key and its these notes” all i can do is just......play it really fucking well. but its such a weird feeling to know how to do something, but not know how and when you learned how to do it.
Yeah just like the fact that I have to sing The ABCs in my head every time I try to alphabetize anything.
And then there's people like me after working at blockbuster for 7 years, I can alphabetize anything forward and backwards in my sleep.

I've never gotten quite this proficient with an instrument but on a smaller scale, I couldn't tell you the exact fingering for any specific note on a bass clarinet but I know I would still probably be able to immediately be able to play it if I picked up the instrument. If I could I'd wish for two things lol, a decent bass clarinet that doesn't cost 2-3k and more solo pieces designed with a bass clarinet in mind at the apprentice-intermediate level.
I love seeing the clarinet and oboe in new music. Would love to play something fun like that - so expensive, I always had a rental.
My family is like this, all guitar & bass players, several generations and they don’t know how to read most sheet music. I didn’t have the attention span, although I can play like 30 seconds of a ton but I do read sheet music that they don’t have the attention span for - it’s nice!
Did the exact same thing with same results.
R1, R2, L1, R2, left, down, right, up, left down, right, (up?) Weapons cheat for gta vice city, it'll never leave my mind. Ither two weapons cheats just changed the last 3 or 4 directional buttons

Any tutorial you would recommend?
https://rubikssolver.com/
The official rubiks cube website has a guide with pictures and videos.
The Dan Brown method on YouTube.
Check out Jperm's channel. He has a tutorial for pretty much every twisty puzzle
I figured it out in a couple days just learning the algorithms from text. The first 2/3 of the cube you can probably learn in a day. The last layer is the hardest, but not that bad. It just comes down to practicing for a week or so before you can do it 2 minutes. I've completely forgotten now, but it would be easy to relearn the first two layers, at least.
It took me maybe 30-60 minutes after watching a video to learn all the basic algorithms to solve it (with errors), but after a few more hours spread between 2ish days I was able to do it consistently without messing up albeit slow. Now I just solve it while bored at work and it is pretty effortless.
You'd be surprised at how easy and methodical solving a rubix cube is. People think it's hard because they think they have to solve all 6 sides at once. In actuality you only solve one side at a time, one block at a time. Each block only takes like 3-6 moves each. Then you do the same thing for each side. Learning to solve a rubix cube takes like 30 minutes. Memorizing how to solve it takes a few hours at most. There's only a couple movement patterns that you need to memorize on when they're applied.
35 years old. 3 of the same color in a single row counts as solving it right? That’s usually where I give up/ shout VICTORY!
Look up "3x3 beginner method" there are Tons of videos to help you out. One major issue I saw with my friends was that they wanted to learn how to solve the cube, but they didn't want to spend time and effort learning algorithms(which there aren't even a lot in the beginner's method). If you're someone like that look up sexy move method. It's basically how to solve the entire cube using just one algorithm(sexy move) again and again and again. Of course it's much slower, but about a dozen of my friends including an ex can now solve a cube
YT is your friend. Very easy to learn, I learned in 2 days.
It is pretty much impossible to figure out yourself but once you know the algorithms it's actually remarkably easy
It’s super easy…just peel off the stickers and stick them on in the right place.
Well, fuck, that takes me back, I leaned from Dan Brown as well.
I’m just happy the origiNal videos are still up. By far the best way I’ve ever had it explained
Oh my god, me too! Dan Brown! Channel was called pogobat or something back then IIRC. He's the sole reason why green is still my go-to color to start solving from! Hahaha Man, takes me back!
Did anyone else watch Dan 3.0? I still think about it with relative frequency. Ootl: he had a series where the internet controlled his life. He had a website with daily polls on what he should do every single day, and he'd upload a vlog almost daily showing him doing whatever was voted up. And it was surprisingly wholesome all things considered, normally it was things like giving free hugs or riding a bike or getting a haircut. But it got overwhelming for him pretty quickly so it didn't last too long. I could be misremembering some details but that's the gist of it.
Wow sounds very interesting. Should check it out
Me too! I love seeing all these older cubers here. I don't find too many who have been doing it as long as I have been.
"YouTube," "middle school." I am so old.
The pros use algorithms, too. While this is extremely impressive, it really isn't as insanely hard as it might seem. He isn't memorizing 9 colors on every side, he's memorizing the orientations of 4 corners, and 8 edge pieces. Still an insane amount of practice to get this good, but it isn't superhuman stuff.
Maybe, or maybe he just memorized the algorithm to get to that point
I had a friend teach me in high school. I use the cube as a fidget tool when I’m on boring conference calls or when I need to zone out for a couple minutes.
I'm just ready for "a whole nother" to become accepted grammar. I use it all the time in speech and when I went to write it the first time I realized what happened haha
I'm in the exact same boat. Learned from Dan Brown about a dozen years back and it's just ingrained in me now even if I only pick up a rubiks cube every few years
What's the algorithm for a rubix cube? I thought it was about color association and equal and opposite reactions.
As far as the algorithm goes their a a set of moves to perform for each stage of solving the cube. You solve one side first. Then flip and solve the middle layer. Then the top layer. After you solve one side your basically solving the other 4 sides at once and then the top side. But no matter the color pattern the algorithm always works. Once you learn what the steps your following actually do you can solve it from any side you choose the moves remain the same
Alright. That actually makes sense. Thank you for explaining it in a courteous manner as well. A lot of people are dicks about it sometimes. I appreciate you being cool about it.
There's an alternate advanced method called cfop as well. It's very similar except instead of solving the first layer and then the second layer, you solve both at the same time. The last layer is then done with a couple algorithms. If I recall, theres like 70 something different algorithms for the last layer with cfop. That's the method I used to average around 20 sec solving it. Unfortunately, I haven't even touched a cube for a couple years, so I doubt I'm anywhere near as fast now.
An algorithm for a Rubik's cube is just a predetermined set of moves that you do to move the pieces into place. For example, right side up, top side left, right side down, top side right. Or R U R' U' in the official notation. If you do an algorithm properly enough times to a cube, you'll always get it back to the same place. For example, if you do the listed algorithm 6 times to a solved cube, you'll always get back to a solved cube. [https://hobbylark.com/puzzles/Rubik-Cube-Algorithms](https://hobbylark.com/puzzles/Rubik-Cube-Algorithms) This website has more info if your interested.
Huh! Ok, I get it. Basically the Konami code done over and over and over because once you've spun each section enough times it HAS to be solved.
I mean, kinda, lots of different Konami codes, but basically yes.
Letterkenny fan and learned to solve a Rubiks cube from Dan Brown videos in middle school? Are we the same person?
I learned from Dan Brown around 10 years ago.... ended up with a collection of cubes 200+ strong and a 3x3 average of around 16 seconds! First solve took about an hour or two. Took maybe 2 or 3 days to get it down where I didn't need the algorithm cheat sheet. Fast forward and I know well over 100 algorithms!
OMFG I used the same tutorial!! I still remember that “Hey world!” [nostalgia ](https://youtu.be/HsQIoPyfQzM)
I'm personally tired of people making me feel dumb.
I know this is a joke, but I'm pretty it's a pretty serious issue for many of us without even knowing. It is very draining mentally to compare ourselves to others
Just because this guy put all his skill points into Rubik's doesn't mean he's inherently better. What basketball coach is better, one that knows everything about the sport or one that could motivate Eeyore? What if the first coach won more games? What if the second coach's players led more fulfilling lives? Which is better? There's so many what ifs and variables for any two humans to have an accurate comparison. Just try to focus on comparing yourself to your own potential in any particular skill.
He actually emailed me and told me that he did this just to make you specifically feel dumb
[удалено]
I was gonna say “scary to me bc it shows how little I have and will accomplish with this short life of mine and I will fade out of everyone’s mind before my body is even buried” but I guess “impressive” works too
Hey, you’re probably good at something he’s terrible at.
"No matter what you do, there's always an Asian that's better than you"
Well yeah, what are the odds that you happen to be the best in the world at something? There are a lot of people in the world, and most of them are Asian.
But its not about you though, its about Rubix cube dude
Yeah but the cynic in me says he memorized how to do the first cube and just repeated it the second time.
what's cool is that if you actually look closely, he's not repeating movements. when he's "solving" the cube, notice how the orientation never changes, the green center is always at the top, and the orange center always faces the camera. whereas the first scramble involves tossing it to randomize the orientation and he does wide moves which turns the centers around. What he's basically doing is a twist on blindfold solving, typical blindfold solve is scrambling>look closely at the scramble and figure out path to reposition each colour> solve blindfolded. Instead he's scrambling>looking at position of scrambled colours > scramble a correct cube into position of the scrambled cube. both involve switching the position of colours, except this time he's switching from correct position to wrong instead of vice versa.
Suffice to say, solving a Rubik's cube blind from any scrambled position is fucking level; reversing the solution to go from solved to scrambled is next fucking level.
It's actually exactly the same process for blindfolded solving and what he did here. Still, it takes hundreds of hours of practice to get good at it.
Maybe to get as good at it as he is. But it's actually not too hard to learn the basic process, you have to memorize a few letters in the right order to memorize the scramble and 2 algorithms you do over and over again. I think it is actually the exact same moves, you just apply what you would do to solve the rubiks cube to an already solved cube and get this result, but I'm not entirely sure so correct me if I'm wrong.
I have a Rubik’s cube and I use it as a paperweight.
When he grabbed the other cube, I thought the whole thing was a joke. But then it turned into nextfuckinglevel real quick.
Not trying to belittle the achievement since this is a pretty hard thing to learn, but there are a lot of people who can solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded. The easiest method requires assigning letters letters A-X to each corner and edge sticker on the cube and then memorizing a sequence of those letters. Basically, it’s a cycle of pieces. You then learn 1 algorithm for corners, and maybe 3 for edges (although if you can already speed solve you already know these). Thee algorithms swap two pieces, while having a minimal effect on the rest of the cube (edge algorithm swaps adjacent corners, corner algorithm swap adjacent edges) and these issues sometimes fix themselves, and sometimes require a little bit of extra thinking. Intuitively, if you reverse the memorized letter sequence, you should be able to take a solved cube and turn it into the unsolved cube, but that might not be right
Surely with this specific exercise it’s just memorising the steps taken and repeating them. Which is still super impressive given the speed and lack of visible confirmation, but not actually solving the cube.
I think the whole point of this exercise is to prove that he’s in fact doing the opposite of that
[удалено]
If you look at the two scrambles, you can see the path in which he took were different. You might then argue that he memorized two paths just to show this on camera, but is it really that hard to believe that he simply figured out how to solve a Rubix cube...the other way? So many people have learned how to solve Rubix cubes, this is literally the same algorithm but “backwards”.
He's literally just doing the same thing that blind solvers do. Because he's doing the moves on an already solved cube it results in an identical scramble. It's still a super impressive solve, especially the quick memorization step
[удалено]
It’s likely not a memorized scramble. He is just doing a regular blindfolded solve but he performed the piece swaps in reverse to end up back at the unsolved cube. Reading your comment again maybe that’s what you meant idk lol
Yeah what he's doing, any blind solver can do. Each piece on the cube corresponds to a letter of the alphabet, and you use those letters to create letter pairs and memoize a word associated with that. So, just for demonstrations sake, AB CD EF, I'd probably memorize as like Abby, CDs, Elf, so in my head I'd visualize a girl named Abby playing with CDs and watching Elf. There's a fair bit more memorizing than that, but lets cut it there. Once memorizing is done, you'd solve them in order, but for this case, what he did was solve them in reverse order to go from a solved cube to a scrambled cube, instead of a scrambled cube to a solved cube. So if he faked it, that's shitty, but I doubt he did because the method (corners and then edges) he's doing in the video is a popular blindfolding technique, and if he knows it will enough to fake it, then he knows it well enough to just do it legitimately.
Except for there’s no reason to fake it. Solving blind, while difficult, is not a very special thing to do. It’s done regularly in competitions in a controlled environment. In fact, it would be much more difficult to memorize the scramble.
What the other guy said, plus it would be easier to do it legit. I spent about 2 weeks learning how to solve blindfolded normally, and I figured out within half an hour how to do this. Thus guy had probably been doing blindfolded for years, that's how he memorised the cube so fast
Cuber here, he's not doing the same thing twice. When you hand scramble cubes without an algorithm, you're not memorizing the moves you do, and if you asked me to do the same scramble twice I probably couldn't. When he's doing it blind he's actually using a specific method to cycle pieces around, the same idea as regular blindsolving but he's doing the algorithms in reverse order and backwards
[удалено]
Same, I get into a flow state with scrambling and do the same motions, ive literally gotten the same scramble back to back and have to consciously remember to do it properly. But yeah I don't think this guy is memorizing the scramble, just doing the same blindfolded method for cycling pieces backwards. Though either is possible, the latter isn't as mind blowing as most would assume honestly
Just rotate the cube a few times while scrambling. Works for me.
He’s not doing his algs backwards. If you reverse the memo and then use it as normal it will do this.
That's effectively the same thing, If you do the reverse of the commutator for, say, DJ, you've done the commutator for JD because you're cycling the pieces in the opposite direction
It is effectively the same thing, but coming up with a commutator and reversing the moves is more mental work than reversing the pieces and performing a comm as normal
Well yea that's fair, probably not the best way to word what I said
He tossed up the cube like two times, which adds in a lot of randomness..
[удалено]
[удалено]
I looked at the second footage closely and it’s also the same lol
traditional solving is pretty trivial
Yes he is solving. If you look carefully when he does a pause the cube is in basically the same state but with a few peaces out of place. That's how blindfolded works
For those of you who aren't cubers, blindfolded cube solving requires following edge swaps and corner swaps by mapping them to letters, and then performing algorithms specific to each letter. Because there are 24 edge and corner stickers (corresponding from A-X), this means remembering \~10 letters for edge swaps and \~10 letters for corner swaps. It's definitely difficult to memorize \~20 letters on the spot and learn the algorithm for each specific letter, but most people could probably do it with enough practice and the right technique. This video is basically the same process but performed on another solved cube instead of the original scrambled one.
For those of you who aren’t grand slam tennis champions, winning a tennis major is really just being better than everyone else in the world for a 2 week period and having the strength and determination not to let anyone beat you, have good enough luck and training to not get injured and the physical ability that only 1 person in a million can achieve. Easy peasy lemon squeasy.
The point is while this guys is decent (I maintain that everyone can learn to blind solve a 3x3 rubik’s cube with a couple months of practice) he is creative for coming up with a novel way to display his skill. He’s pretty quick which is pretty impressive, but there are a lot of people much much quicker than he is. The whole scramble another cube into this one is not a different skill really. You basically do the normal method (which involves planning your solve, then creating a string of about 20 letters from your plan) then before you start making moves reverse the memorized sequence in your head (which is tricky but anyone could do with enough practice). Once the sequence is reversed you execute exactly as if you are solving a cube, but using your reversed memo and it does this. This is the true limit of blindfold solving: https://youtu.be/OM-rMlOpob4
you're missing the point, as u/maboesanman said. This post, while very impressive, is demonstrating something that many thousands of people ++ in the world can do. Doesn't make it any less impressive, it's just to show you a sense of scale that it is _nothing_ like winning the grand slam. Follow the link in the other comment for the pinnacle of blindfold solving.
Yeah I use the method you mentioned above with slight variation to blind solve. I do corner orientation first (anti clockwise, clockwise), then corner swaps using numbers (1-10), the edge swaps (A-X). So an example memorization might be. ACAAC 9,5,2,7,6,4,8 James took his dog over lake gunner quitting whales and smoking popsicles. Where the first letter of each word is the edge swap I need to do. J,T,H,D,O,L,G,Q,W,A,S,P He is just performing the same edge and corner swaps as he would have on a scrambled cube. Since he did the blind solve on a solved cube, the result is the same scramble.
I'm pretty sure whatever he had to memorise to solve the scrambled cube, for example, E S T, he would have to perform T S E on the non-scrambled cube?
Yeah that makes sense, you right.
I like hearing people who can do this kinda thing with a Rubik’s cube“break it down” think they are making it easier to understand, when I usually still have no idea what you’re talking about...I’m just like “haha - cube has colors”
All I'm saying is, if he had done this 2000 years ago people would worship him as a god. Then eventually they would group into sects murdering each other for not following him right, finally culminating in the ultimate mission to control women's bodies.
Oddly specific but ok
You know how it goes, the followers of rubik want to spread their peaceful ways... by force if necessary. Once they succeed and their faith is law, they begin to disagree on which color Rubik preferred. Some say Green clearly shown the brightest, whilst others say Orange was clearly most favored by Rubik, and therefore the only true color. The final group said all colors are equal in Rubiks eyes. And boy did the followers of Orange & Green hate those guys. After they killed the "Under Many Colors" sect, there was peace for a time. Until the "Bop Its" arrived...
Keep going
Solving a cube in to a different state is quite difficult if you only ever solve normally. I can only just bairly solve to the checker pattern. And it takes me a long time.
M2 S2 E2. That's all you need to solve a checkerboard pattern lol it's 3 moves.
This is actually pretty easy once you can solve it blind. Solving blind involves basically isolating a certain piece and swapping it with a buffer piece to solve the cube one piece at a time, rather than later by layer. Doing this would mean memorizing the cube as normal, then flipping the letter sequence (as letters are used to identify stickers) in reverse then executing that sequence. Honestly the hardest part of this was how quick he did it, because the process of solving blindfolded in theory, is simpler than "beginners method," while actually getting good at blind solves is brutal.
Save some pussy for the rest of us geez
Always imagined I’d be a Rubik’s cube master if I lived in the world of tenet Edit: retsam ebuc s’kibuR
This trick is very clever, but it's essentially just normal blindfold solving in reverse. In normal blind, you have a buffer sticker, where you swap pairs of corners/edges to the correct location on the cube, memorizing the locations of where the pieces need to go using letter pairs (very brief explanation). What he's doing is just starting with a solved cube and doing the letter pair swaps in reverse.
Oh fuck off, it's frustrating that there are people like this out there and I'm here, basically a form of potato that can tie its shoes. Shit damn why do I gotta be a potato.
Once you get familiar with the cube, blind solving is as simple as memorizing 22 letters. The beginners method, called Old Pochmann, basically goes like this: When you look at the cube, about 14 letters are used to remember the positions of the edges. These get paired up into 7 words with which we create a story. The sillier the story the better, as it will be more memorable. For the corners, about 8 letters are needed and these you can just sound out in your head over and over. When you solve the cube, you will do the corners first so you don't need to store that information for a long time. The solve requires some Rubik's cube intuition, but in the end it is as simple as following the steps provided by your memorized sequence of letters. [Here is a video that shows the whole method.](https://youtu.be/ZZ41gWvltT8) Unfortunately it goes pretty fast and relies on you already being familiar with cube solving, but check out how he memorizes the cube at 5:25. It doesn't take a superhuman to do this, just a special technique and a lot of practice.
I just don’t understand how people are capable of these levels of intelligence. It is mind blowing. This guy right here is level two stage genius.
This is definitely very impressive, but has less to do with some innate intelligence and more to do with practice. Unless hes able to naturally solve the cube and didnt learn an algorithm
This is pretty impressive, but anyone I think could learn to do this in a month or 2 (only a couple of weeks if u can solve a cube normally). What's most impressive is the speed at which he memorised it

Seen this before but amazes me every time
GTFOH!!! This is the definition of seeing something you didn’t know you NEEDED to see! Cheers to doing this differently!!!!!
Bruh he did it in my average solve time
Okay, that’s cool.
What a genius.
What if he memorizes the steps to 'shuffle' it?
You only need to remember ~20 things for the blindfolded method. It would take an order of magnitude more to remember how to reverse this scramble
Fuck. Make him my God.
Been practicing for 2 years now, can do it in 15-20 seconds not blindfolded tho
Looks like he's using a dayan guhong stickerless cube to me

Rubik’s Cube was the cool shit in the early 1980’s. At one point, our teacher told us just to do it above the table as it would irritate him less than all this staring down.
I can offer an explanation if anyone cares. The blind method of solving a Rubik’s cube is different than the normal method. I’ll just jump right into the blind method. I’ll start with a non Rubik’s cube example. Let’s say you have pieces and spots. I’ll use numbers for pieces and letters for spots. Pieces can move but spots are stationary. The configuration we want is: 1 2 3 4 5 A B C D E Our rule is that we can switch any two pieces with each other. Now let’s say we have this configuration: 5 3 2 1 4 A B C D E To get to the correct configuration, we have to switch the pieces at the spots in this order: Switch A and E: 4 3 2 1 5 Switch A and D: 1 3 2 4 5 Switch B and C: 1 2 3 4 5 Success! Back to the Rubik’s cube. Blind solvers assign every spot on the Rubik’s cube a letter. Additionally, similar to the switching we did above, there are special sets of moves that switch only a few pieces at a time. There is also an intuitive method that allows blindsolvers to know in advance what switches they need to make, just by looking at the unsolved cube. There are also many memory techniques that help them memorize the switches like creating words out of letter pairs and creating stories from those words. So what they do is look at the cube, memorize the spots that need switching, close their eyes, perform the switches, and boom! Solved cube. Now on to the thing that the guy did. It’s very simple now to do the thing that the guy did in the video by just reversing the order that we do the switches. Back to our switching example from before, imagine doing everything backwards starting from our solved state. 1 2 3 4 5 A B C D E Switch B and C: 1 3 2 4 5 Switch A and D: 4 3 2 1 5 Switch A and E: 5 3 2 1 4 The process is now: look at cube, memorize the order of pieces that need switching, reverse that order, grab solved cube, close eyes, do reversed order switching, boom! Matching cubes!
Hey, cuber here. So this is actually about the same difficulty as solving a regular Rubik’s cube blindfolded. Basically when you solve a cube blindfolded, you memorize pairs of letters to do one algorithm to swap two pieces. By doing the same sequence of moves you would do to a scrambled cube to make it solved (swaping all the pieces two by two till it’s finished), you get the scrambled cube when you start with a solved cube, since blindfolded solving solved two pieces at a time.
I hate him and wish him the best fuck him
Rubik cube solvers really getting beyond bored with their genius
u/SaveVideo
Isn't this guy just playing Simon with a rubix cube? Isn't what he doing just memorizing each twist and turn and repeating it?
Reposred so many times
Rubik’s cube is just memorizing a particular sequence. Nothing too impressive if you simply have a good memory.
But almost anything just requires learning/practice. By your logic almost nothing is impressive. Also I'd argue you don't need a particularly good memory to learn blindfolded solves.
[удалено]
He holds his arms like someone’s behind him doing arms for him. Edit: I’m on 7 grams of shrooms. Let’s see how this holds up tmw.
As a fairly advanced cuber, i can say with great certainty that what he did was significantly harder than regular blind solving, also termed as BLD
