For the final strategy, I actually had to put my contact lenses in to see the cube clearly

New challenge: Observe a 3x3 in a mirror and solve it blind folded afterwards.

[orangefox]

It’s all fun and games until the person in the mirror says “Nice pb bro, but you could’ve skipped PLL if you did the right handed version of the OLL instead of the left handed version”

Meanwhile in an alternative universe:

Plot twist: This is J Perm protesting against the WCA rule: "you can't film yourself with a forward facing screen"

[samuelmartinez]

Imagine this challenge as an official WCA category.
They would cover the cube at front of you, so you only see the mirror and make sure you're not cheating

when jperm's mirror time is faster than ur normal solve

[iambadatstuff]

I do the exact same thing when on road trips, I look at the car window and it reflects the cube and I mess up all the time 😅

[GoldenSystems]

I love how he even put the mat upside down..

[vpsjdon]

Next challenge for you: Solve the cube without inspection time. Basically the moment you finish scrambling it, you start the timer.

I think they did something like this in one of the redbull comps? At any rate, would be interesting to see how much your average deviates from usual.

Ah, this was a relief. The thumbnail had a Rubik's cube that didn't have opposite center pieces next to each other/opposite colors on the same corner. A breath of fresh air

[ClapsGang]

Fun little short challenge: Solve a Rubik’s cube into a checkerboard pattern (or other patterns), and you can do this on bigger, odd number cubes too

Coming up next: solving a Rubik's cube in a computer

[chaoscubing]

Is it just me or everyone waits eagerly for j perm’s uploads every week?!

Only OG's will remember that this video was called "solving a rubik's cube in the mirror".

Woah!! J Perm's desk is finally cleared off!!

[vidyavardhanam]

Cubers: I mirror my algs
J Perm: I beg your pardon.

When you solve the cube successfully and the other side claps

[Kewbix]

Idea moment 💡
You should solve the cube through different phone camera lenses!!

I did this while having a haircut with a opaque cloth over the cube
