I _really_ loved this challenge, despite making my brain hurt it was weirdly relaxing.
I'm still practising and learning more moves in the evenings - "just one more try..."
I did consider putting some of the algorithms and moves in this video to show how it works and explain a bit more, but I figured the JPerm RUclips channel is so good that it's better to go there and learn in full.
I have linked the videos I learned from in the description.
I also wanted to mention that I had wanted to try the Rubik's cube since seeing the film 'In Pursuit of Happyness' - that was 16 years ago! It took me all that time to muster up the energy to learn it. As I go into my 40th year I have decided to do the things I have thought about for years. Time continues to move on and I want to act with haste. Anyhow, I didn't put the bit in about the film as didn't want to get a copyright on adding a clip of it in my video.
Good job! I bet doing things like the Rubik's cube is great to keep your brain humming along as well. Actually, that's a cool idea for a few future videos--trying and incorporating new specific functional things to keep your body and especially mind in tip top form as we get older. Its easy to settle into life's patterns, but when those patterns become too automatic, we aren't stimulated anymore and we tend to atrophy. Use it or lose it! Maybe it could be a series of videos where you explore this. :)
@@celticlass8573 Use it or lose it, on of my favourite sayings! I have a big list of ideas of things to try, learn and experience.
I am also keen to hear subscribers' suggestions!
@@LauraTryUK A suggestion: growing and juicing wheatgrass at home. That's fun.
I used to love trying to speed-solve the RC as a kid. Now, as a decrepit, broken-down, feeble middle-ager, I'll be darned if I can remember how I used to do it. Thanks Laura - now I'm going to have to buy another one and dig back in. Challenge: How fast can you solve it whilst taking an ice bath after walking 10,000 steps!? 🤪
the adjectives killed me 😂
You absolutely have buy another and solve it!
Ok, you know I will do that challenge 😂
I used to just pull the colour stickers off as a kid and stick them back on in the right places 👌😂
Thats genius! 😁
I did that too
Your appetite for leaning new things is so fun to watch, I can feel your excitement. It inspires me to push myself.
Always great to come back to this channel and see a positive motivational video. Its a breath of fresh air in todays insane world. Thanks Laura 😊 🫂
Thanks for the lovely comment Kwah, I am pleased you like the videos 😀
My husband was into Rubix cubes when he was younger. When we were dating he picked up a 4 sided one. He spent many days trying to solve that for the first time. I remember when he did it was 1:00 in the morning and he was so excited he woke me up to tell me. I can't say I met his level of enthusiasm at that point. Hehe. Great challenge! When you said every time you think you are close to solving it, you aren't, I laughed because that's exactly how it feels. You get so close and then you have to give up that closeness to get the final cubes in the last spot and then suddenly you lose track of where you are and now you have more cubes out of place. Good memories. 😊
woah you done it and so much faster! Love you vlogs as something like an adventure, the trials and tribulations and then the world is saved by solving the puzzle, woop woop
I'm pleased you like the videos Conner, thanks for the support 🙏🏼
That was *excellent* ! I'm looking at my bookshelf at the cube I got as a present 4 years ago and still have never even opened ! Right, this evenings project is to try and solve it before I go to bed. Then to work to get it to 2 minutes. You're my inspiration today !
GO FOR IT! and to make it easy for you: ruclips.net/video/7Ron6MN45LY/видео.html
No excuses now. I expect a solve by tomorrow eve 😜
Your ability to learn something new is incredible. Wish I learned at that speed. You're very clever Laura. Bet your pleased with yourself 😁
You're very kind Mark. But I do do this as a job and have many hours a day to spare.
I wish I quick at learning the unicycle 🤪
@@LauraTryUKWell I think your great and I try to encourage you cuz I like you and I think your deserve all the support and success that life brings you. Looking forward to what you have in store for next year. Keep it real mate ✌️
THANK YOOOOOOU 🙏🏼
I did it! Daily lessons and practice for the past four weeks and I finally did it without further reference to lessons or notes. Took me 6:21.25 on my first timed go but I'll spend the next four weeks whittling that down. Thanks so much Laura for the inspiration! Who knew I could learn to do this!!
This is so great Alison! I am so happy! Thanks for letting me know. It’s addictive isn’t it!? And weirdly relaxing.
Please keep me updated on your progress 💪
Came for the cube, stayed for the cat. God job Laura!
this comment is everything 🐈⬛
Wow, that’s really impressive. I’m sooo going to try that myself! Well done Laura!
Please do try it! It's (kinda) fun.
And soooooooooo addictive once the patterns are learned.
Let me know how you get on.
I learned to solve it from a cousin back in 1980. It used a sequence of moves after solving one side. I can't remember and it has been ages but might be fun to get one going again.
I reckon you could dust off the sequences in no time DAM.
Awesome, LT! I remember ‘solving’ it at school by learning a pattern. Haven’t a cube now so I know I wouldn’t be able to recreate it. All I can remember is one of the sides had a ‘L’ with same colour 🤔😂
hmmmm, I'm not sure I know that one.... but I think there are 1,000s of patterns.
Are you tempted to try again?
@@LauraTryUK I am now actually, seeing you solve it! A potential Christmas stocking filler 🎅🏻
So positive. I'm inspired again to dig out the cube. Love the hair in the voice over shots 😊.
I'm so pleased you like it Byron. I look forward to hearing how you get on with solving it.
And thanks for the hair comment! I make an effort when filming the voiceovers, unlike when I'm just sitting at home for hours practicing these skills 😂
😊😊 absolutely brilliant! I've always found them frustrating.havent picked one up for years
Follow the J Perm video - makes it (relatively) easy.
Hello Laura .Welcome back..I just completed my first two day fasting...Haveing started with slowly moving my fasting time out over the last four weeks.
Thank you for you fasting advice ..It helped me understand how to do this safetly..
I must say.. its. been rathere addictive.Many thanks Laura..Cheers Bazz
After watching this wonderful clip, I asked Santa for a Rubik cube and today I managed the white cross and I am totally stoked!
I like to just peel the stickers off and then reattach them LOL😁 Congratulations on learning another interesting task.
This was fun to watch! I really like your energy and self improvement mentality.
I absolutely love your videos Laura, really motivational and makes me want to achieve more of my goals
Awesome work Big T. Always love seeing one of your videos drop and how you're gonna challenge yourself next.
I am now tempted to solve it yes! Thank you for sharing your continuous curiosity
Holy cow! You make it look so easy! - I've always wanted to learn to solve one but gave up every time - You've hyped me up so much, I'm about to go find mine and give it another go 😂
It honestly is easy Heather, once the patterns are learned. Visit the video I recommend and give it a go. The first time may seem really confusing but then it all just makes sense!
I'm a follower from Hungary and it's very inspiring to see you trying new things, I'm going to start them too! (Fun fact, the Rubik's cube was invented by a Hungarian person, Rubik Ernő). Would you recommend the second, more fancy cube for beginners too? We all love you Laura ♥
😊 I remember doing this in about 1981
I was -1 years old 😀
Just popping here to say love your videos! Very inspiring
Inspired by your last video i've learnt to juggle with 3 balls and it made so much fun. I guess its a rubiks cube on my wishlist for christmas now. Great video as always! :)
You learned to juggle??? That is _so_ cool! Thanks for telling me.
Rubik's cube on the list fir sure. Go for an entry level GAN cube, the Rubik's brand isn't great.
Speed cubing is interesting. Once I learned to solve this, I lost my interest but there are 4x4, 5x5 onwards cubes, which take huge amount of time as the combination goes exponentially higher
Next goal is to do the cube while riding the unicycle or juggle on the unicycle. :). You are a gem Laura. :)
I had always wanted to do yhe cube but never tried before lockdown. Then I followed a similar route to you and could solve it without notes. Sadly I left it for a while and forgot the sequences. I can’t even understand most of the notes I made! 😂 This has inspired me to get back to it, thanks Laura and congrats 🎉
They have 4x4 and 2x2 cubes, that'd be fun to add to the collection
Even the idea of 4x4 makes me head hurt 🤪
I bought one because I too had never learned. It I’ve yet to sink in and try to learn. Trying to get one of my kids to learn with me!
Nice work!!
Yes, I am tempted but this is one time I actually agree with a cat! But your excitement was inspiring.
Charlie knows the score.
Thank you for being a light. Your videos are awesome x💛
You're so sweet, thank you 🙏🏼
I'm happy for you! I have owned a total of 2 Rubik's cubes, but never was able to fully solve them. The other day, I bought a new (fancy) one that comes with an app. I won't give up!
Thanks for the awesome video. I was cheering with you!
Did you buy the iCube Go thingy? The ones that is interactive?
I nearly bought that.... but knew I would form a serious addiction 🤣
@@LauraTryUK Yes, I did! I can't wait to try it out!
@@jasminebond3168 let me know what you think if it as I _almost_ bought one.
Well done Laura!😍😍😍
Thanks Kim! 😂
Great work :)
Fantastic Laura. Love this video. I’ve just bought one after watching your video. I’ll let you know how I get on. I’m aiming to do it in a day lol
You should train others in an old age home! This is excellent for your brain as you are aware!
How funny, recently i decided to leran the rubx cube and how to use an abacus. I started both and got okay but then stopped for whatever reason. This inspires me to pick it up again. Thanks :P
Blindfolded doesn't need to slow people down. They don't even need to see the mangled cube beforehand.
There is this thing called mindsight, and it WORKS. It's easy for kids 6-12yo, takes more practice for adults.
You CAN see shapes, colors, anything. Children can play, unencumbered, fully blindfolded. Cycling, throw and catch, climbing, karting, air hockey, even reading and drawing. Seeing through walls becomes a matter of belief in self.
I'd LOVE for Laura to learn mindsight. There are multiple coaches who'd love to help her on her way with this.
the blindfolded Rubik's solving is UNREAL!
The Midnight sounds unreal also 🤯
@@LauraTryUK Mindsight to me is undeniable proof that we definitely are spiritual creatures having human experience. The Matrix and Starwars and DareDevil all got it partially right, and the "reality" of our existence is beyond epic. If I can see shapes and colors fully blindfolded (a left brain champ", you Laura for sure can see even more :)
The rubik's cube is so satisfying to solve. The first time is amazing. And every single time you break your personal best, it feels better. It's a very relaxing and satisfying hobby.
I'm really impressed she broke 2mins with an actual Rubik's cube. Then she bought a Gan and instantly dropped 20 seconds off her time lol.
GAN for the win 😀
Kinda wish I had started with that, but then realise that a silly wish. Retro Rubik's cube - now I have one for friends to practice.
@@LauraTryUK Congrats on reaching and exceeding your goal, and thanks for sharing your experience with us.
A good cube makes a big difference. You will break 1min in no time if you keep at it. Have you considered learning CFOP or another advanced method?
@@jakejones8032 I've started learning CFOP 😀
What a wonderful and inspiring video.
Thank you Sarah 😀
awsome! i wanna learn!!
You are an inspiration!
Brilliant!
That made my head hurt a little just watching 🤪😂
hahahaha, it's quite easy once the patterns are learned, I promise!
And I cannot believe I am saying that!
Thanks for sharing this, I suspect that it's a great exercise for your brain....
I think so too - it felt good to memorise sequences. I got me thinking I wonder what else I can lean as a result.
Loving the cameo by Milo! X
We had one at home when I was a kid... But never solved it, and lost interest...
Well done Laura. Are you going to do some yearly update video this year, like the one you usually do about your youtube channel growth...
And maybe a video about the skills that changed you the most or the one that you recommend us to try the most... 😁😁😁.
Cheers.
Hey Mounir, I sure will be making one of those videos - 16th April! Giving all the updates.
I also plan on doing a video about these new skills at some point - which ones I continue with and gained most from etc.
Thanks for the suggestion 🙏🏼
@@LauraTryUK thank you Laura for being so nice and inspiring. 😊
Just awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖
Great fun watching your video. Seeing your joy when you succeed in solving the cube is really fun. Congratulations on successfully solving the Cube under 2 minutes! With more advanced methods you will solve the cube faster. I will see if you fix the Cube using more advanced methods? Good luck! 👍
Mr Roux, hello 👋
I'm guessing your a Roux solver then?
I already peaked into some CFOP...... 😜
@@LauraTryUK That's right, I solve the Cube using the roux method. Hope to see more videos from you when you have learned the cfop method. Good luck 👍
NOW I AM REALLY IMPRESSED. The other stuff you were doin was just child's play. Glad to have you back for awhile at least until your next adventure. BTW, disclosure, I can not do the Rubik's cube..............yet.

What about chess? I would guess it would be the same process to become a really really good chess player. But with another player changing the algorithm with each move.
chess is on the list.... the idea makes my head hurt and hands sweat instantly ... actually 😖
@@LauraTryUK I bought a chess course from "Thegreatcourses" recently.
@@carlkolchak4437 useful info, thank you!
@@LauraTryUK I bought it on sale. I buy only the stuff they have on sale. They got some good s..t.
Super!
When they came out in the early 1980s, I was so bad at it that I had to get the Colour Blind Edition. It was all red. I still couldn't do it. 😄
Like your red nails by the way. Cool.
This is sooooooooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!
Painted my nails for the typing thumbnail. A rare thing for me now.
EPIC!👍😃👍
I love to see your excitement!
that weird noise I made... that was kinda scary 😆
I love this video. Absolutely brilliant. I love the Rubic's cube. 🤙
I'm pleased you liked it RS - something a little different from fitness, but fitness for the mind 😀
Laura, please help. 😭😭😭
I'm doing great with the Rubic's Cube. Every time I get to the last step, 27 times so far, I mess it up. I've only completed it twice.
Can you explain the last step because in J Perm's video he is going too fast for my simple mind.
Is it R Side Up, rotate top clockwise, R Side down, rotate top anticlockwise?
@@RunSensible send me a video/picture via IG and I will try and help.
@@LauraTryUK that's so kind. I'm in work now, I'll send it later. 👌
So typing is harder than the Rubik's cube. I would of not guessed that. I think I might buy one now.
absolutely! this was so fun!
and also, I had to totally relearn typing after 30 years of doing it wrong. Learning the Rubik's cube was something brand new and just a series of formulas. I like memorising things too.
Now i want to try it 💜
YEEES!!!!
I can't explain why I liked this video or why I've always been afraid of the Rubik's cube. I've always had a weird amount of shame and envy associated with it.
I was a kid in the 80s. My Aunt had a Rubics Cube. I couldn't figure it out, and just tossed it aside. It basically sums up my personality at 40-year-old. If it's something that is useful and has a purpose, then I can focus like a laser beam. If it's silly like a game or even a dumb movie, then I quickly lose interest.
So proud of your focus and ability to reach your goal@
Defo give it a try with the tutorial video Apple Gal - there's some hidden benefits in learning this for sure!
@@LauraTryUK oh I believe there are benefits as a practice in patience and working the mind. Maybe when I'm retired with nothing better to do, I'll learn lol right now, I'm just so busy.
I DID IT! Thanks for the inspiration LT! Very pleased with myself😁!
YOU DID IT!!! How awesome does it feel!?
Great work Stephen - did you enjoy learning it?
@@LauraTryUK Felt amazing! Can do it every time now! I really enjoyed it!
@@stephenwilliamstube Just love it!
wow so impressive!!
Thank you!
You rock star!
Diana, you are a tree!!!! This is so exciting! I think that changed the other day?
Thanks for sticking by 🌳
ahh ha, I did do this myself recently, I'm solving the cube whilst watching this vid 👍😁
Did you see any sharks when rowing across the ocean? I’ve watched that video 8 times for motivation
Welcom back laura ...another great védio ...thanks for share bb,,,,💕💕💕💕💕👨❤💋👨😍👨❤👨
omg that takes me back. i was in a championship for rubicks cube in like 1979 and I did it in under a minute which wasn't great but I did do it with my feet when I was about 9. wahayyy (edit: maybe it was 1980-81...)
Haha, crazy but after your juggling vid I thought, “she should try the Rubik’s Cube”! I was born in the 70’s and had one in the 80’s. Never solved it. Had no YT back then. Got to 3 or 4 sides. Funny how even now, my hands still remember some of the algorithms to move corners across. Will dig ours out!
it's strange to think of people pre-internet trying to figure this out. My respect to them!
Give it a go with the video, it will make so much sense to you if you already tried it.
@@LauraTryUK yes I would feel such a sense of achievement finally solving it at the grand age of 49 lol! 8 y o me had some of the algorithms figured out but not the fact you had to start with crosses etc. Thought I would crack it just increasing my number of sides. 😃
@@nevertoolate8589 let me know how you get on. Here's the tutorial vid: ruclips.net/video/7Ron6MN45LY/видео.html
@@LauraTryUK I can officially reveal I have solved it! 🙌🏻 Thanks! Turned a boring day into a small wins day! Now need to memorise the moves to make it my party trick. 😃
@@nevertoolate8589 it is _fantastic_ news! Let the addiction begin!!!!!!!!
Hi Laura - cool video! Whats that on your head wrapping around your ear in this video? e.g. 1:57 time wise on the video?
Hey 👋🏼 I’m pleased you like the video.
Those are Shokz headphones
I have solved 2 sides by pure accident before, other than that - pull it apart and rebuild :D
super LAURA ....... hhahahahah i remenber my first i did it I was 9 ......... I was so crazy that i was not be able to make it that I unscrew it and recompaose hahahahahahahah this have been nightmare until the fist time i did it at 12 but i arrive just becouse o luky I think.......... if you get under 1.00 i will give you a beer hahahahha .......... nice nice it make me to remenber my childness...... wonderfulllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Charlie is not amused !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤
I cannot and have never been successful. Wondering if you felt there was cognitive cross-over into other areas of your life, in terms of problem-solving or recognizing patterns? Did you ever enter a flow state?
Congrats LT!!!
Hey Susan, I consider myself to have a good memory, especially with things like numbers and dance moves, so I kinda felt like this was similar.
I definitely entered a flow state. I could easily practice for an hour and the time passed so fast! I'm still practicing for fun in the evenings now.
We welcome another to our -cult- club
I'm attempting to solve this without RUclips videos but it seems inpossible
I have put on my new year's resolution for 2023
You are going to love it!
I love your juggle too

I don't understand. What time was lost?
Would you say that to other people learning new things in life?
@@LauraTryUK hey, many thanks for the question.. this cube has been sold as something for rocket scientists and intelligent kids. But as you learned it is just an algorithm that you learn by heart and follow. Learning a new language that could be a challenge that will bring enlightenment into your life. Digging into books ... those published before 1900 not storytelling ones .. this will bring enrichment to your thoughts.
@@aazimohamed5445 it's a good job I have learning a new language on my list then ; )
All Hail @Jperm he has helped a hand full of people
🎉🎉🎉
Great video and well done! I learned to solve the cube in the pandemic, when new skills were all the rage. I also used @jperm beginner method, and still follow him. I now average around 40 seconds, can do it blindfold in about 10 minutes and can solve up to 7x7. It's great fun, recommend it for anyone.
wow, wow, WOW! 40 seconds, and blindfolded! That blows my mind.
Are you CFOP? I started learning a week or so ago.
@@LauraTryUK Thanks 🙂 I started with beginner method but then learned CFOP, which is what I use now (still do beginner method sometimes just to see if I still remember it). I can do full PLL but I still only know beginner/2 look OLL - struggling for time to learn 50 new algorithms! It's definitely quicker, but that jperm guy can still do the beginner method in 10 seconds......
I'm enjoying these videos you're doing on skills outside of the fitness umbrella - enjoyed your typing one. Being a massive nerd I'm a reasonably fast touch typist, so found it very interesting.
