What's your Rubik's cube? Tim Grunert at TEDxUniversityofNevada

Tim Grunert is a sophomore majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the University of Nevada. Tim is the winner of the student speaker competition. In this talk he uses a Rubik's Cube to encourage you to explore what makes you unique.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

He used Noah Richardson's beginner's method.

[@stratoge]

I LOVE THIS GUY! He loves to solve rubik's cubes (just like me). and He can make a very interesting TED talk while using the rubik's cube as something symbolic!

[@spakgaming5086]

cubicle premium valk 3 custom magnitized with cubicle lite magnets

[@andyhoette3674]

What would have been funny would be if he messed up his solve

[@thomaspham3010]

DerpyBacca _148 no... if the cube popped

[@thomaspham3010]

Actually never mind it is a Rubik’s brand

[@entrapy6378]

Moyo weilong gts3m

[@Yosipher]

moyu weilong v2 black with cubicle full brights....

[@soffren]

Dayan Zanchi, half brights lubix in the core and edges....

[@Yosipher]

Geister Fuhrer I think with lubix on the edges it would slow down the cube to much for my stlye considering its already a slow enough cube

[@soffren]

True, but I'm really forceful and solve with intuitive not Fridrich method so my algorithms a lot shorter.

[@soffren]

I meant third layer, I don't use OLL or PLL, I do it intuitively...

[@Yosipher]

Geister Fuhrer well u should realy learn oll and pll its faster than any intuitive nethod I avg 3-4 seconds on ll

[@bestthing234]

This is very well thought out and very thought provoking, I love the concept of a Rubik cube as an example of some one figuring out aspects of their life. a Rubik cube is very difficult, thus is life.

[@parityhater7155]

I don’t think he uses f2l.....or roux.....or ZZ..... but beginners method.

[@jakehe4027]

hey cubeorithms

[@catedoge3206]

if he really took it as a hobby, he'd say he's a speedcuber

[@thecubingnebula9704]

I have a hobby. *Pulls out 3x3* I like "Rubik's Cubing". bruh

[@303Shay]

Tim you are my favorite

[@Vincent-me4si]

[@Rbati_malaki]

People here commenting their rubik’s brand 😅 it was a metaphorical question you guys !!!!!!!

[@ayoallen2251]

The speech was great, even now .

[@wimpycellist]

My Rubik’s cube is the tornado v3

[@andrew_li]

GTS3M, 2 years later...

[@hey.tobiii]

My Rubik's Cube is a Moyu Weilong GTS3M that I used to get a 5.543 pb (jk, I knew he didn't literally mean that)

[@khatemel2968]

👏👏👏👏👏🤗

[@lee4547]

Should this really need to be a Ted Talk?

[@evilstevehancock8624]

solved my cube after 6 hours of looking at it and understanding the constant 8 points of truth. the rest made total logic after understanding a truth of mathematics and constants.

[@anonymousbanana3144]

Unless you have algorithms I doubt you'd solve it in under 3 months mate.

[@hey.tobiii]

math has nothing to do with solving a rubik's cube. seriously, I average 9-10 seconds and i've never used math to solve a cube

[@Mornys]

He solves a rubic's cube while talking useless bullshit. The end.

[@LLawliet-tv9ig]

+Omnia in numeris Says the guy who probably doesn't even know how to solve one side of the Rubik's Cube. Haha. Cubers will understand what I'm talking about.
