For anyone starting out with Rubik’s cubes and are having trouble memorizing the algorithms, I completely recommend trying both and/or one of these: Write down all algorithms you need to know on a sticky note, and then write a bunch of notes until you fill up a normal sized piece of paper with sticky notes. The other method you can try is just taking a note full of the algorithms and having it next to you while you solve, don’t feel bad solving with a guide, that’s what I did. As you continue getting used to what you need to do and the moves the algorithms require, you can cross them out from your sticky note, until eventually you remember all of them. Or you can look at a video for help idk do whatever you want.

[@jptummler]

[@jordanm9478]

The reason why he learns everything is because he sits down and doesn't give up

[@TechSupportDave]

Yeah many people HUGELY underestimate their capabilities. Basically every normal person who does not have any learning disabilities, is able to be successful and rich, or learn anything and everything they wish to learn. The thing that's stopping most people is their lack of patience, lack of confidence, or their attitude/mindset towards general learning. And when I say they hugely underestimate their capabilities, I really mean that. The brain may not be as fast and accurate as a modern computer, but the amount of information that you can memorise and store is so immense that you wouldn't be able to reach your limits even after 500 years. And the more you learn, the more your brain becomes accustomed to it, thus making learning such as memorisation FAR easier as time passes. And actually, if you're someone who's into learning as a hobby, the best way to tell how much your learning skills are improving is learning decimals of PI. Learn the first 100 digits, record how long it took you, and then come back after 5 or 10 years of actively partaking in your hobby, and learn the next 100 digits of PI, and the difference should be immense, especially if you fully learn to understand how you brain processes and memorises information best, and thus use appropriate learning techniques that work best for you.

Now, a couple months after I started I feel like it’s not really that hard. The algs can even be learned intuitively and even if you try to memorize them it’s easy since they’re very short (0 to 4 moves). It’s been 3 months and now I’m learning the advanced method (3-style). There are around 800 algorithms but you can learn them intuitively and even come up with your own algs.

And then, I finally gave it a shot, and on my first attempt, I successfully solved the 5x5x5 blindfolded. It took me just over 42 minutes to solve. And just to make sure that it wasn’t a fluke solve, I attempted it again the next day with a completely new scramble and I successfully solved it in 29 minutes 14 seconds.

“How I learned to make a drip noise from my mouth”

[@TonySpinach]

Thank you mike for inspiring me, i spent this week learning to solve the 2x2 and 3x3 blindfolded and i actually got it! Such a cool feeling :) And for anyone wanting to try it, its not actually as bad as you think, pretty tricky, but definitely doable!

I learnt 2blind in like two days. The secret is I didn't learn the setup moves. I did them intuitively. I'm currently working on 3 bld and averaging around 8 mins. So, perfect timing for me on this video.

[@VicJang]

Hey Mike, I know it's a re-upload but I still watched the whole thing again anyway. I've been a fan since the beginning and you still inspire every day with your accomplishments, one video at a time. Just to let you know I'm still here supporting you. Best of luck. Stay safe!

[@christiancardona3924]

I learned old pochmans method and did my first bld solve in the first 4 days

[@ricksanchez147]

How many hours a day? 😏

[@melissamailhot4695]

It took me 26ish hours.

Mike bro you really are an inspiration, always learning and improving skills all types of skills! You inspired me to do some learning of my own and have even created a youtube channel to document everything I learn and try. My first video came out yesterday and I would appreciate any support and/or feedback. Please subscribe for new videos every Sunday. Thank you

Can we suggest things you can learn?

Nice man, I'm doing the same thing. My big regret is that I didn't start filming years ago because I've learned unicycling, speedcubing, tray spinning etc and I DIDN'T MAKE A SINGLE VIDEO!!! Film everything mate, that's my advice ha ha, good luck.

[@deekay1306]

I’m actually super happy he used 2 look OLL and PLL in his solve video (original). Way better than just beginners method.

[@piotrtomasz9745]

You have J perms wrong. Jb is this one with RUF and Ja is this one with LUR

[@sonnonghoang2786]

Piotr Tomasz I saw it too and his hand techniques is not belong to longterm rubik solving

[@standardcarter9117]

What you do really cool, but I would like to see you learn how to “slam” food or just eat a a fruit in under 30sec

[@BobMonkeypimp]

I eat like a pig so 30 seconds seems an awfully long time to eat a fruit.

[@MaxxyMan]

This deserves more attention. You deserve this like I'm about to drop

[@voditz3965]

Just as a suggestion, don't memorise alogarithms as Mike did. Try to find patterns. Like if you memorise the T perm that Mike was memorising you can just use the same algorithm to memorise just perm since j perm is just a reorder of t perm.

[@atharvsalunke5390]

True

[@qqtrol1774]

y perm is also realy a reorder of t-perm

[@tyronium2]

Its been a month since I learned how to solve the cube. Skipped the beginner method and directly jumped onto the advanced Roux method. People said its impossible but honestly it was quite easy. Got Sub-50 seconds within one month. Feeling confident so now I'm gonna learn blindfolded. Wish me luck.

Vsauce - "Hey Vsauce!! Michael here! I believe in hiding knowledge behind a paywall!!" Or the funniest one was when he interviewed David Attenborough, claimed he was a lifelong fan yet constantly pronounced his surname as "Atten-BRO".

The first time I tried solving it blindfolded I succeeded but now I can’t do it any more

so unfortunate

It’s impressive that you skipped from casualty solving a Rubik’s cube to blindfolded solving Usually it’s a lot easier for learn for speedcubers since all of these algorithms are pre-existing knowledge that are in their muscle memory already

[@jcleine9064]

I'd happily watch this over and over.

[@landon5573]

So you came back to being blind folded and solving a Rubik’s cube instead of coming back trying to learn a backflip?

He didn't come back to this it's a reupload, it was already recorded
