Well, I guess it's better than looting liquor stores for kicks.....
Personally, I've never even tried to solve one of those things.

Fastest I've seen is 43 seconds. Same guy did just over a minute while we were out at the bar having drinks.
But that guy in the video? Thats fast. I mean, for fast people thats fast.... |

It was a grey sphere with colored beads twisting around the circumference. That was when everyone was trying to come up with their own Rubik's. There was also "The Snake," which wasn't a puzzle, but you could make it into some cool shapes and shit. I had all that crap. |

When you buy the 3x3 cube, the packaging comes with a booklet on how to solve it. I think my fastest time with the 3x3 was around 1:20. |

No doubt he knows what he's doing but I don't believe it can always be solved in that few amount of moves. They are understandably excited but I could have done without hearing all those 'H' bombs.

I can solve one, it's basically a matter of memorizing a bunch of different algorithms, aka specific ways to spin certain sides of the cube achieve a specific result. I do it layer by layer, get the bottom layer first, then do the middle layer (just two algorithms for that layer, which are mirrors of each other), then there's several different algos you need to know to solve the top layer. I can do it in under 3 minutes, but 5 seconds is completely unfathomable to me.

Not that I EVER solved a 3x3 cube, but honestly, I think the timing should begins when the cube is revealed and include his evaluation of the randomized cube before he begins to solve it physically. Perhaps that's not part of it due to established "Rubiks Rules". lol

I haven't messed with one in probably fifteen years, so it might take me ten minutes to do it now. The Cube I solved once by watching youtube vids. I couldn't do it again, so I gave up. |

These guys are using completely different approaches that are way harder to memorize like the Fridrich Method. The speed at which they process everything is stunning. |
