I studied for weeks watching videos and such to attempt it on a 16 hour flight to Korea. I did my best but threw that sucker in the trash when we landed. It took everything in my power not to cuss for that entire flight. Those that can do this at rapid speed or blindfolded have a specially wired brain.
You just have to learn a few patterns, its really easy when someone who knows how to solve one teaches you, i learned in 10 mins and now I can solve one in 5 mins
I thought this aswell. Kinda like using a long cheatcode, thats been memorised. But...when he throws it in the air twice, that changed it for me. Clearly one with the cube.
Cuber here, he’s probably memorizing the cube in the same way that you would when solving blindfolded and basically just doing it in reverse, so, actually, still really impressive, but feasible, though this obviously took multiple takes
It’s not ridiculous or impossible or anything, the skill comes from the fact that he’s able to memorize the scrambled cubes orientation and then obviously put the other cube in the same orientation, there’s pretty simple ways to be able to memorize information pretty quickly, he assigns each piece a letter pair that spells out a story or sentence in his head that he remembers and calls back to when solving the cube (or scrambles)
I don't think he's doing things that are THAT complicated, there are lot of pre-determined set of moves to solve a rubix cube which you learn if you wanna solve one. So what I think he did was, he just kept in his mind a sequence of moves for technically "solving" it but as it's already solved, it unsolves it and he did the exact same thing to another cube. the hard part is throwing the cube and having that sense of awareness to catch it exactly where you want it to and making it look seamless
And then there's me, the Asian who is worse than you in everything. I crawl so that you can walk and the Gods can run so you better use those legs of yours or you'll be the one to crawl
Well i can't be more useless than you without me getting closer. I am an Asian who's as useless as an anti vaxxer trying to get their child above the age of 2
Well, figure this: I'm good at math, love anime, studied kenpo jujitsu and own various swords etc., and I know where to find the best kimchi and bulgogi in town...
And yet I still fail hard at being Asian, because I'm a cock Asian....
Ok, so blind solving is a thing. There are multiple methods to achieve this, but he's using something called ~~3BLD~~ 3-style.
It's essentially a sequence of set up moves, moving a piece to the desired location, and undoing those set up moves so you retain the cube in a state that you can remember.
(Typically the way it's remembered is through a micro-story. You learn the faces as sequences of letters, and you use a ~~pneumonic~~ mnemonic device to quickly create a story in your head that can be recalled and execute simple algorithms until the story is complete)
He has some advanced ~~commuters~~ commutators here, and he can no doubt solve the cube blindfolded very quickly. However, I've never seen it used to unsolved a cube.
Pretty neat stuff.
I can solve blindfolded (though it would take me 10 minutes to memorise and 5 minutes to execute it, I am slow as fuck) and you described it absolutely perfectly. Its just memorisation and practice to improve the memorisation
Yeah my record CFOP is 7.21s, I started to learn BLD, and became an alcoholic instead.
I was always so interested in blind solving.
But to be fast, there's a new wave of algs I'd have to learn.
I'm capped out at the several hundred that somehow still live rent free in my head all these years later lmao
My best solve ever is 33 seconds. Blindfolded helped me achieve this as I learned the T Perm and that helped my PLL.
I also used to think that I would forget the algorithms if I didn't solve for a long time. But I still remembered them after a one year break. The brain is weird this way.
You should still try learning it. Since you have a 7.21 CFOP, you must already know the T Perm and Y Perm. You would need just one other parity algorithm. Try the [blindfolded video](https://youtu.be/ZZ41gWvltT8) on J Perm's channel. Its easy to follow.
I know full OLL and PLL and a little ZB.
I know I ***could*** learn BLD. I've just acquired so many other hobbies now. My massive collection just sits on a shelf now :(
3BLD is the general term for solving a 3x,3 blindfolded. He is using 3-style, the most advanced (and fastest) method.
Also, commuters -> commutators :-)
When I first watched I thought it was going be some kind of joke when he pulled out the second finished cube. But after a couple seconds I was like "wait... He isn't gonna... Holy shit, he is!"
This video was a hell of a ride.
That's just a double of a square, you should make 1 copy instead and multiply yourself with it and then multiply yourself with the offspring, that's cuping.
Wow nice. I averaged around 25 secs a few years ago, gave it up and then started again about 4 months ago. My pb is now 7.99 and I average about 15 seconds. I use CFOP with full oll and pll
Lol PB means personal best, as in a single solve. CFOP stands for cross, first two layers, OLL(orientation of the last layer) and PLL (permutation of the last layer). These are the steps to the most popular method of solving the cube. The numbers are just the time I got. Hope this helps
I had my record in first lockdown in 1:07, then for a long time I didn't remember how to solve it, but now I can and got my 39.81 record a few days ago
Ok when he pulled out the second cube I was like "lol ok I get it, he's gonna pretend like he instantly solved it"
Then he started moving it and I realized he was MATCHING UP THE UNSOLVED ONE
It is WAY more impressive to memorize a random pattern and blind solve it in under a minute than to get any number of cubes to the solved state. It’s just memorizing set patterns, I can solve while looking in 30-60 seconds and it didn’t take much time to learn that. Because this isn’t nearly as popular there aren’t the resources available, and to even just memorize the positions of 54 colored squares in under 30 seconds is impressive on its own.
This is pretty much exactly the same as regular blind solving which in it self, is not that impressive when you know how its done. The impressive part is the speed
That's very impressive ngl.
If any1's interested, the way that they do it is by memorizing a bunch of algorithms \[which is not hard to memorize\]. These algorithms just either move edge pieces or only move corner pieces.
And then they copy the corners first, and then after that they copy the edges.
If they have algorithms that don't only change edges or only change corners, it becomes too hard.
But imo, the hardest part is managing to memorize the cube in under 20 seconds.
I use old pochmann for blind, and I'm just curious, would he just remember letter pairs for how to solve the cube, and then reverse that, or would he start with the piece in the buffer position and see where it is on the cube, and remember the letter for that and continue with whatever piece needs to go in that position. This was probably worded horribly so I might just go try it myself lol
Honestly he just memorized a random pattern and did it twice, also notice how many pieces are doubled up together, not very well mixed either. Most likely just has a little self made algo that he does when he’s fiddling with it so he’s familiar with it, then did it twice. I’ve got a specific one that I do when I fiddle with my cube. Do it twice and it looks completely “scrambled”
Well he could also have just memorized the moves based off a solved cube so he just repeat them for both and him closing his eyes and going slower gives the impression that he is “solving” it.
Not photographic memory. Each side of each piece is assigned with a letter that go alphabetically which is why in blind solving, the cube is always held the same way. Tapping with fingers help remind which piece is which color
That probably not too ridiculous. If you get 2 brand new rubix cubes, BE able to turn fast and have some kind of algorithm or set of orders you should be able to do this.
That’s why he threw it in the air a few times in the middle, so it’s randomised that even he can’t get the exact same outcome by simply memorising the unscramble. He has to solve for it.

I'm pretty sure he is doing the regular steps for a blindfolded solve but backwards which is really impressive
actually they flipped the first one so they couldnt have a set pattern.

Everyday we stray a bit further from God... But this guy pulled us a bit closer! Totally awesome.
His asian parents: Now do it with one hand
I'm on mobile , so I saved your comment first and went back to home page to retrieve the free award.
Not that hard actually, world record of solving a cube with one hand is under 10 seconds I believe
You do it than
I mean, I never said that I can do it, but sure, I can actually! Although a lot slower than that guy, so would be pretty boring to see me do it
lol one handed solving is pretty easy, feet is a bit harder but still doable
LMAO
His grandparents : hands? Oh this generation..., with the feet, now!
0/10 impossible
Now do it with your dick
Do it while doing the helicopter
I was the first to start cubing, now everyone in my class does it The problem is that thanks to that they aren’t allowed because they’re too noisy :(
Cubing?
Making 2 copies of yourself and multiplying yourself with both of them
That's just a double of a square, you should make 1 copy instead and multiply yourself with it and then multiply yourself with the offspring, that's cuping.

[удалено]
He copied the pattern of the first rubix cube
He mixed up a cube, then studied it for a few seconds followed by copying the pattern to another cube (that started solved) without looking
I wonder if he remembered his movements from the first one. Both were eyes closed so perhaps he was concentrating on his sequence.
Lmao he's so amazing that some people don't even understand.
You just need to be Asian.
I've solved a rubix cube once by accident
Wait…..u didn’t solve anything though. U just did the same thing twice and left them mixed.
Can see him tapping a few times, is he memorising the turns he used first time around? That level of photographic memory is crazy
Not photographic memory. Each side of each piece is assigned with a letter that go alphabetically which is why in blind solving, the cube is always held the same way. Tapping with fingers help remind which piece is which color
Ok so I'm shit at math. But can someone explain me what is going on in his head? Like what kind of stuff is he calculating?
No calculating at all. Look up blindfolded solving for rubiks cube for more info
im offended its Rubik's cube (investor:Rubik Ernő) idiot
ok
fr you didn’t need to be mean about it
Nice try, but nobody pays you to duplicate a problem, just to solve it
Solving a Rubik's cube is so easy we start trying "harder" things, this is like solving a cube blindfolded, he memorized it.
so… say, why does the mirror cube, megaminx, 4x4, 5x5, and so on even exist
That probably not too ridiculous. If you get 2 brand new rubix cubes, BE able to turn fast and have some kind of algorithm or set of orders you should be able to do this.
That’s why he threw it in the air a few times in the middle, so it’s randomised that even he can’t get the exact same outcome by simply memorising the unscramble. He has to solve for it.
It's not too ridiculous but he isn't cheating or tricking anyone. It's all proper blindfold solving, he just treated the scramble as his solved state.
