Since we published this video, the record has been broken many times and is now more than a second lower than Collin's time. How low can it go? Follow along here: www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/e.php?eventId=333&regionId=&years=&show=100%2BPersons&single=Single

The video portrays speedcubing perfectly, but it explains it so that even people who aren't in this community can learn all about it. Hats off to you. :)

2:18 How is that accurate? SpeedTwistyPuzzlers don’t buy “special cubes” Also, her Shengshou 3x3x3 can also be lubed and tensioned. However, it is pretty good though, but they called OLL & PLL Algorithms 1 & 2. They could’ve at least said have all of the top layer pieces facing up, or orientation, and then put them in the right place with another algorithm, which permutes them.

Hi Twistii Cuber

[@Mechanabox]

Pleeeease teach professional newscasters and reporters your ways! They never do their research properly on cubing and always end up twisting the person they interviewed's words in such a way that they don't even mean the same thing anymore. They make the same, classic, non-cuberish comments and mistakes. In this video, cubing is actually put in the light all of us cubers wanted it to be put in. Not the stupid "This *impossible* challenge has been mastered by one young boy." Impossible? Don't lie to the entire country. "He says math is the key to success." No he didn't! You just think that's true. Thank you, thank you so much for making a long overdue good news report on this topic. The community cannot thank you enough.

I solved it (with help from a KZbin video) yesterday and with hours of practice yesterday and today I can now solve it in 2 minutes. As long as you practice and memorize the simple algorithms, it's not nearly as hard as some say it is.

[@roygb]

its harder when you learn cfop

[@Anyguy4321]

Yeah, my friend figured out the algorithm to solved it on his own rather than looking it up. That was far more impressive to me than these people who solve a rubik's cube fast. Substance over flash. (and yes, he can solve a rubik's cube in about 20 seconds now too so he's no chump at it).

Cubing should start being more popular, it is not that hard:) I mean, I mastered the beginners' method (which is quite slow) and after a week of practice I did my first best-time; 1min 20secs. I broke it only some months ago where I did a 1min 17secs, and now I feel I'm ready to move to more advanced methods. It is so much fun! And the greatest thing is *you can practice anywhere!* :D

Starting out with begginer's method and knowing 3-5 algorithms I couldn't go less than 2 minutes now after about 2 weeks where some days I "studied" for hours using the fridrick method and learning F2L, 2-look OLL and 2-look PLL and knowing about 20 algorithms I've managed to go down to 1:30 with A LOT of practice, I can't see how you could go down to 30 with BEGINNER'S method

GR33D-E : No I do not kid. EVER. In fact based on the information you just provided, it seems quite irresponsible for the song-writer to not provide the complete information, and thus keep his/her listeners in dark, making them forever ponder why the percentages add up to 200%, and whether these percentages are by weight or by volume. In fact now I have even started worrying that this data might have been fabricated. Were these numbers based on empirical evidence? What was the size of the study group? Was there a control group? What was the p-value? Were these results peer-reviewed? So many questions, but no answer in sight!!

I love how they actually educate themselves before making this video with the cubing terms and back story of the video it shows the work that many news reporters don’t put in because a article about that video said Collin was in a math classroom with classmates like what?!

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

AJ Cubing A Y-Perm isn’t algorithm 2, and there’s no such thing as a “special cube”. Any twisty puzzle can be lubricated, and only Rubik’s Brands and Dollar store cubes can’t be tensioned because they have rivets instead of screws.

I remembered when I first discovered the world of speedcubing about 4 years ago after watching a member of a Korean boy group (EXO) solving a cube using finger tricks. I was inspired and immedietly bought myself a regular Rubik's Cube at a nearby Walgreen's. After following several beginninger's method tutorials on KZbin I eventually solved my first cube and was so proud of myself LOL. Then I found out about cube lubrication & special 'speedcubes' :)

Also I forgot to mention that you don’t have to learn full OLL/PLL when you’re a beginning cfop user.. you can learn 2 look OLL and PLL

I like that there are people out there who call themselves 'Cubers' haha world is full of cool stuff

[@Mechanabox]

We're actually a decently large community. Or at least a lot bigger than most people think. For example, there are around 300 Rubik's Cube competitions that take place around the world every year. =D

[@Zekzar200]

brod2man About 10%+ of the world can solve a Rubik's cube. Lately, a lot of other people have been getting into it, though they quit after watching super fast guys because they don't think they'll ever be that fast. I remember my beginning times. It hurt my hands. 2 and a half minutes. Then I got a speedcube. 1 minute. Then I learned CFOP. 45 seconds. 25 seconds. 20 seconds. (Don't ask me how I skipped 30 seconds. I just did.) Right now, after 11 months of cubing, I average about 17-18 seconds. My record average is 14.79 seconds. My personal best solve is a 10.57 (formerly a 10.69 for about 2 months) I'm working on averaging sub-15. Then I'll work on averaging sub-12. Then sub-10. Then sub-9 and so on.

Note from a speedcuber: Literally no one calls it the Fridrich Method. It's CFOP. Cross, First 2 layers, Orient last layer, Permute last layer.

[@weaselmaster98]

solving the cube isn't hard, the first layer is easy to figure out on your own and the rest is only a couple of algorithms that if you put your mind to it will only take a couple hours to remember and get ok at. What this guy is doing is hard because you've got to orient yourself with the pieces and decide which piece has to go where pretty much instantly to get a good time. If you don't put a clock on it, anyone can learn how to cube it is a fun thing to do.

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]
