How Non Cubers Think You Solve A Rubik’s Cube

Todays video is about how non cubers, think that cubers who solve a Rubik’s cube, solve the Rubik’s cube

What method do you use to solve the Rubik’s cube?

[lechonkawali]

As a mathematician, I can confirm that the formula "Photosynthesis x radius per turn" is applicable in this situation.

My favourite is when they want to scramble it for you and say "don't look!" As if I'm memorising all of their moves

My son is a speed cuber (pb 7.93) … he once left his cube, fully solved, at a cafe. When we went to pick it up from lost & found the next day, it was scrambled. 😮 He did a quick sub 10 solve, as staff (having tried to solve it) stood amazed. They applauded him. I felt so proud. ❤

"Oh you can solve a rubik's cube ? You must be great at calculus then."

bro my friend actually scrambled it for like 4m cuz he thought the longer he did it the harder it was

[aidenbagshaw]

There’s no math during actual solves, but the math behind cubing theory is absolutely fascinating.

As a non-cuber, I can confirm this is exactly what we think

[PolkaDotParrot]

as a cuber, I can confirm this is how it works

When learning how to solve the cube, the biggest reveal was that you don't solve the sides, but the layers. In hindsight it makes so much more sense, but it was genuinely what was stumping me for the longest time.

Just imagine what speedcubers do to get sub 10 with only 15 seconds of inspection with this method

[tiagocoelho]

It annoys me to no end when 6 years of learning and practicing boils down to "Oh, there's a trick isn't there?"

[Czecherboard]

Fun fact: When Ernő Rubik created the cube, he actually calculated a huge method to solve it. It took him a month.

As a former non-cuber I always thought that you build first one side, then another, then another and so on. I could never figure out how to build a second side without destroying the first😂

[paulschiltz]

This is so true. Knowing how to solve a Rubik’s cube immediately makes you look like a genius 😂

[deepaganesh]

My friend was like"I can solve 5 sides, but i can't solve it fully"
Me: BRUH!

[kisamada]

the amount of dedication you put into all this maths is incredible
i bet your hand hurts more from writing that down than cubing

[GoldenSandslash]

Before I learned how to solve a cube, I thought the way you did it was by remembering every single turn ever performed on that particular cube over its lifetime, and then reversing the scramble.

I literally solved my first Rubik's cube yesterday and now YouTube is serving me up Rubik's cube memes. I love it. I'm in the club now

To be fair, most speedcubers initially 'solved ' the cube by watching youtube videos, learning an established method. It is the development of these various methods which I think of as solving, and which most impresses me. I'm not a speedcuber, but I did develop my own method in 1981 when there weren't any materials available.
