Guys, this video is not about speedcubing, is about how a 12 year old figured how to solve the cube by himself when there weren't any tutorials and how that made him successful at a short age
Zara for universal lord Yeah lol
Most speed cubers technically have never even "solved" it, they learned other people's discovered algorithms, so what this 12 year old kid did was actually more impressive since he actually figured it out in his own
Yea by cheating he took it apart first I solved it wen I got it back then with out breaking it
non-cubers: this is insanely hard!
cubers:piece of cake
It is
Yes, because you cubers/cubist know the code that is why it is a "piece of cake" to you guys. We don't so it is difficult for us. If cubist did not know the algorithms or code to it, they will stumble just like us.
Jesusandsteph Forever While to some extent this is the case, cubers do tend to have a better understanding of the cube and how it moves and would have a much easier time figuring it out than a non-cuber
I just peel the stickers off
TMCuber Let me see the Megaminx
so he invented the corners first method
Correct
Jesus Christ all the 9 year old cubers are coming out. yes we under stand you can solve it fast, anyone can do it in under 30 seconds with a little bit of practice. the difference back then was, this was before cfop before zz before all the major methods. this kid made his own method without any help from anyone else and that is extremely impressive.
Volengr actually I came up with my own algorithms
^ sure sure
Jewkiller7853 bs
Agree, so many bunch of little kids here talking “Oh I can do better”. Grow up kids, or go to school
Juggrouxx exactly
RUclips Recommendeds
2013: Nah
2014: Nah..
2015: Nope
2016: Mmmm... nope
2017: Not yet
2018: Maybe?
2019: Of Course, Yes!! Put this video in the recommendeds!!
And not a single word was told about the genius who invented this masterpiece of puzlles, Rubik Ernő.
Who here is a cuber?
Dan The Demon YO!!!
Dan The Demon i am but im a side cuber when i do for exmple red i switch to yellow and alot more colours
Me
Dan The Demon me
Dan The Demon me
I remember when I first solved a rubik’s cube. It felt like my best achievement in my whole life.
Time
chuck norris just stares at the cube and it solves itself.
monty albreihi boooooo
that comment was 4 years ago taku kamiyama. its fine.
you might be joking about saying boooooo but meh
😂😂😂😂
He seemed like he was a bright and intelligent kid. Wow I didn't know there were billions of ways to get it wrong but only one way to get it correct. The Rubik's Cube will always been a staple classic toy/gadget of the 1980s.
There isn't only one way to solve it. There are thousands...
Why do non-cybers always say 43 billion billion instead of 43 quintillion?
Any fellow cubers here?
Braden Smith I’m a fellow cuber!
To be widely understandable
I haven't solved a 3x3x3 but
Rubik's brand is stupid since it takes 6 seconds to turn and 3 minutes to pop
@@coreyford3556 lol you´re right
Well to make it understandable for other people as there may be people who don't know the word quintillion or maybe because people hate maths.
not that hard. but formulating your own method is hard.
It turns out when Erno Rubik invented the Rubiks cube, he didn't know how to solve it.
When Chuck Norris looks in the mirror, the mirror breaks, not because he's ugly, but because there can only be one Chuck Norris.
cadnaan caden well then if he looked at the shattered pieces would the shattered pieces shatter until they became dust and wouldn’t reflect anymore or would the mirror turn to dust immediately on the first reflection
Danny Dankmeme it would turn to dust on the first reflection
What if he looked into the river and saw his own reflection there?
Dennis Lai 290 the river would evaporate
I thought this was about speedcubing lol. Still pretty amazing, happy for our intelligent cuber-friend.
“If you start with the corners...”
CFOP and most beginner methods: Am I a joke to you?
Cubers didn’t learn how to solve from scratch, they watched a RUclips video. To be able to find out a solution your self... now that is incredible
You don't know that. A lot of us did solve it without help.
@@hypercubemaster2729Taught myself and could avg. about 50 moves at medium pace and also figured out about 200 other puzzles of the twisting type. Most recently I solved Puppet Cube 2 but I'm still working on Jumble prism from time to time.
Nat geo: publishes in 2013
Yt recommendations in 2019: Look at dat
wow this kid cracked the code
genius.
Is that a 10x10!?!?
ForgingShadows bruh its obviously a 6x6
Come on it’s a 1x1
No its obviously a 7x7 idiot
G2 NELSON no it’s a 12x12
Someone’s gonna get wooooosh’ed
Cubers Be Like: Boii I can Solve It (insert time here) seconds!
non-cubers: this thing is so hard i'm never solving it!
cubers: i just looked up youtube videos and learned in 2 hours "facepalm"
0:31
Or you could just say 43 quntillion
Amazing kids are always coming up with amazing ideas, and the ideas are getting more incredible every year. Don't you think it's about time we stop steam lining education and start keeping a close watch for gifted children. Then apply a different style of education just for them. One that will challenge and entertain them and guide them towards a exceptional future?
Us cubers dont see these as puzzle, we just do them to get better times, and have fun doin it still
I've dissected it too my first cube in the 80's
There is not only one solution.......
There is CFOP, Roux, ZZ, Beginners Method, and much more.
Lannai G
they're talking about the kid that CREATED the first method
this was the 80s and those didn't exist yet
Lannai G ya really think those existed in the 80’s?
And by one solution it means one solved state. Not method
If you're a cuber you probably knew this already....
I didnt
Yeaaaa they do. Go friggen solve it! Its a fun experience.
You know Im an introvert by the fact that i solved my cube before this video finished.
Imagine solving the cube in 30 secs in the 1980s
I just love the way he took almost a year and the cubers is just like solving a cube in 3.21 seconds or 23.27 seconds
Im still learning full oll ...
and it also tells you that the center peices of the cube are connected,and that you can solve it by working with the conners.
Solving a Rubik's Cube with one's feet is one of the official challenges in cubing competitions...
1981: A 12-year-old boy invented the method of solving a Rubik's cube.
Now: *CFOP, Roux, ZZ, Petrus,...*
I'm gonna buy one now and finally get the colors go match.
It want to switch the stickers on two corners of the cube and hand it to one of these geeks. Just so I could sit back and watch their head explode.
People back: then cant solve cube
People today: I SOLVED THE CUBE IN 1 SEC
A RUBIK'S cube has over 43 quintillion ways it can be scrambled. Also, many SpeedCubers use a method created by Jessica Fridrich called CFOP (cross, F2L, OLL, PLL), AKA the Fridrich method.
Not, really. Tons of those configurations are impossible, or entire rotations of the cube.
no fingertricks xD
AntraX Gaming *le palm turns*
thats really cool.
Non-cubers: Awww this is impossible
Feliks Zemdegs: Hold my Gan XS
The description was under the thumbnail, did you take the time to read it before opening the video?
I can also do the 2x2x2, 4x4x4, 5x5x5, 6x6x6, 7x7x7, 8x8x8, pyraminx, and the megaminx
I need more !!!!
Is there a way to identify an original rubik's (generation 1) cube from a newer (generation 2) or non rubik cube?
i also dissected one but fix them again in their right colors and positions :D
yeah, I have a video of it using more official scrambles. I use a speedcubing method called the Fredrich method. I have even been to an official World Cube Association Competition and I am pretty sure I am going to the world championships in Las Vegas
Non cubers- this is impossible
Me- *pulls out 7x7 and gigaminx*
řąńďøm Ďü5h Ha ur funny
that really a deep information nw i can solve my cube easily...
The only site that works and i solve the 2×2×2 by memory
A lot of people can... They do it in competitions. I probably could if I tried.
I can solve it in about 8 minutes so to the average joe, I’m a wizard but a cuber would know that I’m still reliant on “beginner” algorithms
...I learned yesterday so no one gets to judge my time 🐜
Chris Jason welcome!
Wow. Good job, Patrick.
White cross->White corners->Middle layer->Get ALL Yellow on top->Position it correctly
MP Cuber eoline blockbuilding
MP Cuber where's your cross?
U know who is the FASTER than me to solve it? FELIX!
It is such a shame that they used modern cubes for the Flashbacks. As a cuber this feels just not right.I know most of you won't notice, but it really isn't the same for me. As a documentary about the beginnings of Mercedes-Benz and a A-Type is being used to explain the past Revolutions...
Capsaicin1337 talk about nit picky
I made up my own 2x2 method it's called SL LL (side, layer, last layer)
How many possible outcomes did you see?
43 quintillion
And how many did I solve it?
...
Well?
... just one
0:44 blue and green
RUclips, don't recommend this to me just because I am a cuber.
Rubics cube's are easy. There's an algorithm to solve it, the problem is most people don't stick to a pattern that works and keep trying different things, thus never solving it
Wow! let me just get my- Oh wait I threw it away 6 years ago....
Taking the cube to pieces isn't cheating
back when solving this was a great achievment
That is SO EASY!
That's pretty cool :D.
are we not gonna talk about how blue and green a together in 0:44
Many people can do that. The cube actually solves itself when Chuck Norris gives it the death stare.
Sorry one more thought. This must take place no matter what financial burdens their families are under if our country and world is to continue to prosper intellectually.
My thoughts exactly.
in the corners you fool ! ,, you shall not pass !
"A turn every second , you wouldn't be finished yet".
*plays cube while watching the video*
Life is a joke.
Fuck the Rubik's Cube...Back in those days, I spent most of my precious time watching "Deep Throat" featuring the late Linda Laceless and it was well worth it!!!
I've got one. Haven't been able to solve it yet.
I got that goddamn book and still can't solve that shit!
Damn You Rubix Cube!
big smiles!
I learned on you can do rhe cube. The online version perhaps. And now I do half beginners and half cfop and I get sub 40s.
What if that 12 year old holds the answer to , "Solving a Rubik's Cube?"
Why is this by National Geographic?
It took me no time to solve Rubik's cube since now i already know how to. Even if i put any effort to solve this now it would be only a matter of time therefore i don't need to consume any time at all hence no time spent for me to solve it.
My record 00:00.
The title still makes sense...
well done
That color skeme though
at my school its become a common thing to know how to solve the rubiks cube
from this year why won't they use yj puzzles???!!!! i mean i feel uncomfortable seeing those rubik's brand turns
Gyan Jimenez because rubiks intellectual property rights.
Larry Hagman! from I dream of Jeannie?
0:35 young Phil Helmuth lol xD
I solved the rubik's cube while watching a video telling that there is a way to solve the rubik's cube. So, yeah.
NICE 🖒
Always wanted to know
hella kids at me school solve rubiks cubes for shits and giggles, they always told me you need to learn algorithms
i can unsolve it! Is that good?
Help me get to 100 subs please thank you Unsolve= opposite of solve so no, everyone can do that
it is called a joke. Plus i can solve it anyway
Help me get to 100 subs please thank you I know what a joke is, no part of your comment showed it was a joke
ok well sorry for the mis understanding, all i did was make a joke.
Help me get to 100 subs please thank you wait what,unsolve =joke? Please
Actually, there are a little less than 4^6 solved states if you take into account the center rotations.
That_one_guy no there is only 1
That_one_guy
Ooh, good point. I never thought of that.
No No. Chuck Norris can solve a Rubik's Cube with his knees.
The cubes are so easy now, even the v-vube
you forgot to put a negative sign plus 1sec on your record
You can separate the center pieces from the core
