How I Learned to Solve the Rubik's Cube Blindfolded

In this episode, I learn something I thought was previously reserved only for geniuses: solving the FULL RUBIK’S CUBE BLINDFOLDED!

this would be a real challenge

[bobosan]

As someone who has done the rubiks cube blindfolded, the reaction mike has to when he finally gets it right for the first time is 100% accurate!

[AngeloParedes]

Just putting this out there Mike, you should get back to learning how to backflip again!!

[jamiehay]

*Me:* "I can solve a Rubik's Cube!"
*Mike:* _"That's cute"_

[momsaccount]

Things you can learn during quarantine,

●Learn to write with ur non-dominant hand
●Learn to beat box
●Learn to do pen tricks?
●Learn to write mirrored English
●THE BACKFLIP


Get this up to him lads

I’m a cuber myself and do 3x3 blind solves every now and then and I will say that it is extremely hard. It takes patience, discipline and practice. So I commend you for learning this skill because it is definitely a daunting challenge! Good job 👍

I learned to solve blind in 2016 but never succeeded. When I saw you upload the original video, I was so mad with myself because I gave up and you didn't. After that, in January 2019, I tried it again and did it in my first try. Now, I could solve it blindfolded in under a minute (there's a video in my channel btw) and it was all because of you Mike. Now I'm one of the top blindfolded solvers in Vietnam and my times have been improving day by day. You inspired me to finish what I've started and I couldn't be more grateful. You are truly amazing!

I've tried this and it was damn hard. The reaction from Mike when he's done it wasn't even exaggerated. It's real.

The REAL genius is the person who figured it out the first time.

Tip for the future: learn algs with eyes open, as sometimes you can figure out what to do at the end with intuition. Once the alg is built into muscle memory, it's easy to do it blind.

For anyone starting out with Rubik’s cubes and are having trouble memorizing the algorithms, I completely recommend trying both and/or one of these:

Write down all algorithms you need to know on a sticky note, and then write a bunch of notes until you fill up a normal sized piece of paper with sticky notes.

The other method you can try is just taking a note full of the algorithms and having it next to you while you solve, don’t feel bad solving with a guide, that’s what I did. As you continue getting used to what you need to do and the moves the algorithms require, you can cross them out from your sticky note, until eventually you remember all of them.

Or you can look at a video for help idk do whatever you want.

"me, a normal person"


says the guy who can do everything

[jptummler]

When I started watching your videos, I can't even remember how long ago, it was because you where challenging yourself to do all these new things. Now I realize that what kept me coming back, what not only to see what new challenge you were going to tackle but the joy when success arrived. Minute 2:41 and 8:38. Cheers! and thank you!

So glad you re-uploaded this! During my isolating time, I was thinking of something to do. I’ve had a cube for about 2 years, but never knew how to solve it. I’ve been watching your videos for a few months, and was inspired to try to learn. I did! I sat down, and after watching and re-watching a video, I could solve it! I was so proud. This was yesterday. After watching this video, I want to try to learn blindfolded as well. Such convenient timing! Love your videos!

Theres still no ads, did it get demonitised?

Also, 3 days ago i looked up this video because, after being obsessed with "cubing" for a few years, i decided to tackle this and solved it blindfolded a few times now. I love looking through your videos and finding random or useful skills that I can learn in quarantine.

[RenanRodrigues-yjtz]

Your videos inspired me to learn that. It felt like it was impossible at first, mainly because there are 40+ algorithms and cause memorizing the letters before solving can be painfull at first lol. Now, a couple months after I started I feel like it’s not really that hard. The algs can even be learned intuitively and even if you try to memorize them it’s easy since they’re very short (0 to 4 moves). It’s been 3 months and now I’m learning the advanced method (3-style). There are around 800 algorithms but you can learn them intuitively and even come up with your own algs.

<3 love you mike!

[CrazyForCubes]

Any cuber who knows how to solve blindfolded will say you have to learn only a couple of algorithms for blindfolded...
Pls search youtube for a good tutorial (like Jperm's)
