It took me ten minutes, but speedcubers like Flavian do it on [Britain's Got Talent](https://yewtu.be/embed/1EqgeMfJ_rE?local=true) in under thirty. In my experience, most people are impressed if you can solve a Rubik's cube at all. The truth is, if you dedicate yourself, you can probably learn how to solve a Rubik's cube sighted in a day. There's not much to it. It's just memorizing sequences of moves called algorithms and knowing when to use them. @@ -17,9 +16,3 @@ As someone who has solved the Rubik's cube blindfolded, I think that non-blindso To me, the impressive aspect of Flavian's performance was his speed. He was incredibly fast. It took me twenty times as long, although in my video that was only the first or second time I had done it. Still, speed takes practice and his practice shows. I usually have an important or deep message in my entries, but not this one. I just wanted to point out that this seemingly impossible feat is actually something anybody can learn to do. - - -Link(s): -[1: Rubik's Cube Blindsolve Video](https://files.nicholasjohnson.ch/rubiks-cube-blindsolve.webm) -[2: Classic Pochmann](https://www.stefan-pochmann.info/spocc/blindsolving/3x3/old.php) -[3: Britain's Got Talent: Flavian Blindsolves Three Rubik's Cubes](https://yewtu.be/embed/1EqgeMfJ_rE?local=true) -- cgit v1.2.3
