Very good video! I always get mad when I solve a cube in front of people and they say "I can't ever do that". I even try and explain to them how they can but they don't even believe it. I found out that the mindset of of how someone sees a Rubik's cube can be arguably comparable to how they see their potential in life. Many people that don't believe they can solve the cube also tend to disbelieve in their value and success in life. It takes dedication and hard work. Practice, routine, etc. I also was very insecure and felt worthless at times in life. I grew up with people looking at me like I was inadequate, and I believed it. During my freshmen year, I went out of my way to find out how to solve the cube. once I was able to do it a couple of times, I took it to school here and there to practice and to show people. Everyone was shocked at the fact that I was able to do such an "impossible" thing. Over the years, I found out that solving the cube is too good of a representative for the rest of life's challenges. I tell people that if they can solve the cube, then they can solve any other situation they are going through, and can achieve anything they truly want.

People these days are not “solving” the cube. They are learning someone else’s method and repeating it quickly. Back in 1980, I was one of only two kids in a school of around 1000 pupils who could solve the cube. I figured it out on my own and developed what these days is called a “corners first” method which I have since taught to my son. The other kid in school got hold of a printed solution leaflet and learned how to do it that way (I think it was a kind of top-down method but can’t remember exactly). I went on to join Mensa at 23 and had a successful career in engineering, retiring early at 52. There is a place in heart for the cube and will keep playing with one as long as I am able.

[@mapron1]

wow. I can not solve cube in hours even using instructions. You are a genius

[@HenrikMyrhaug]

It is completely possible to figure out how to solve the cube on your own too, and that takes a lot of time and dedication. IQ in general is a measure of pattern recognition and problem solving, so having a high IQ may help, but it's not required. I tried the megaminx without any knowledge of how to solve it, but I knew how to solve a 3x3x3, and was able to figure it out on my own without any algorithms or tutorials. This made me realize how figuring out how to solve the 3x3x3 is not actually that hard, as long as you understand how the cube is built up, and how it changes when you rotate a face. I have been able to solve the cube without using any memorized algorithms. Basically all ways humanly possible to solve a cube requires you to use some algorithm that someone has found, but it is possible to figure them out on your own without looking them up. I don't spend much time with Rubik's puzzles anymore, as there are many other things that I personally find more fun to spend ny time with, but I think everyone should learn how to solve a Rubik's cube.

[@BobbyRowland-e1m]

You have to be born with the necessary "formulas" "algorithms" or "patterns" that are present in your subconscious; but really it shows you have great social skills to find someone willingly to teach you, whether by person or on a KZbin video. But really you need "comprehension" skills to be able to solve a Rubik's Cube. As long as you understand the instructions and show patience as a virtue, even a pure minded 1st grader can solve a Rubik's Cube but this is very uncommon because alot of parents find it easier to control their child if they are kept rather ignorant, because ignorance is bliss that pacifies them.

[@lizzzylavender]

About point seven, also, people solve for different reasons. I cube, but I don’t personally like speedcubing that much, and don’t care much about improvement. I find the logic soothing and satisfying. Therefore, i really like big cubes because it takes much longer and you spend longer doing each step. Just like someone might enjoy playing a Mario game without speed running it, casual cubing is also a thing

[@ColbyMasonMusic]

Casual cuber here and I completely agree. I can solve a 3x3 in about 40sh seconds. I use it like some people would use a fidget toy or something along those lines. But I just purchased a 4x4 and 5x5 and have solved both intuitively, albeit it took me quite a bit of time, it's a great way to occupy space in your brain. When you want to wind down and just not think about how shit your day was, pick up a cube and turn it.

[@markblankenship745]

As a noob to cubing at the ripe old age of 48 I will say this for it, it does help one sharpen ones mental acuity. I find it both meditative and relaxing while also exciting my grey matter.

This video makes a lot of sense! I am chess player, and am around 1700. If I can deal with 64 squares, with 32 pieces, in less than a minute, then it motivates me that I can solve a 3x3 cube. Had watched your begineer's KZbin video yesterday. Solve the cube for the first time. Only took me 15 minutes. Now will practice and improve it! Perhaps even learn more complex and efficient algorithms later on!

[@hansrajhansda2981]

You say right Sir. I wrote this comment on my life experience.🙏🙏🙏 1. When I was very weak in maths and I don't even understand maths at all. 2. I got 5 years ago because of maths weakness Rubik's cube Couldn't even understand through youtube videos. 3. When I clear the basic concepts of my maths And strengthened his maths. 4. then me Rubik's cube Also seemed easy to understand through youtube video. 5. Learning maths and solving maths problems increases our intelligence. 6. Maths is very important and necessary subject because Solving maths questions increases our intelligence and also exercises the brain.

[@hoosiercoasterfan2655]

This will probably be buried but 0:25 gave me an idea: What if you made a cube that you could make a cube that you could turn like a normal 3x3, but the face also turns completely independently to the top layer? Kinda like 5x5 centers, but it looks like a 3x3. It has probably been done before. Even if it hasn’t, I’m no puzzle designer.

[@JPerm]

Oh that would be really interesting! I think it would work exactly like the x-centers on 5x5 actually so it would be super easy to solve

A human can figure out how to do something without instructions. You can't even argue AI, it takes far to long, it can't interact physically, and even if you want to make a robot that can learn based off it's environment, and treat it like a baby for God knows how long, you have to endure the horrific phycological questions, let alone it not being possible with today's technology.

[@ileachoffeverything6535]

To be fair you have to have a very high iq to understand the rubiks cube. The colors are extremely subtle and, without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the algorithms will go over the typical persons head. There is also a nihilistic nature behind it which is deftly woven into its characterization the personal draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance cubers understand this stuff they have the true intellectual capacity to truly grasp the depths of the rubiks cube. To understand that its not just profound, its that it says something deep about life! As consequence people who dislike the rubiks cube truly are idiots. Of course they wouldn't appreciate the white cross which is also a reference to Turgenev's Russian epic fathers and sons. I am smirking right now just imaging one of these addlepated simpletons scratching their heads as Erno Rubik's genius unfolds in front of their faces, what fools I pity them.
