  • i can do that.

    hold my beer.

  • Hacks. xD

    

  • I'm not hat'n but he messed up

  • so who can tell me whats going on his head?

  • 3OP method :D

    orient , permute with 3 cycle

  • I have yet to learn this trick....

  • well, doing it blindfolded you cant use the algorythms, i solve cubes in 1minute, but blindfolded no way cuz ofc i know all the algorythms, but its never 100% the same way done... so idk how to do such thing :o just memory?

  • JUST GO ALREADY!

  • is he using old pochmann?

  • OOOOH  MYYYY GOOOOOOOD!! damm!! thats Awesome

  • Noo fair.

    He was asian O_o

    But that was amzing.

  • @xLinkSystem The blind WR currently is held by a Mexican though...

  • @rsnba1 ikr? Haiyan Zhuang can suck on mexican buritto now

  • epic

  • wow...........

  • @jakebobjo i love how all these idiots on this thread argue that it is or isnt possible to solve a rubixs cube with a blindfold on (which it IS possible btw) and no one even realizes that he didnt finish it correctly.

  • look at the end theres colors on the wrong one

  • @jakebobjo i know your comment was a month ago but i just had to tell you....at competitions you take your own cubes so if it's a cube he uses frequently than the stickers will start to peel/fade etc......so thats why that blue is a white side if you notice on his cube his white is opposite his yellow side so it would be impossible for a white sticker to be on the same cubie as a yellow sticker

  • thats just plain bullshit how would he know he finished it if he cant see hes probably looking at it under the blindfold

    he should probably do something thats actually going to help his life not play with dumbass cubes

  • @baezc9 I've done blindfolded solves before and it works this way: you memorize what you parts you need to fix on the cube first (look in the video where he just looks around for a while to memorize where everything is), then you don the blindfold and start fixing according to what you memorized. Once you run out of things to fix, then the cube should be solved.

    Perhaps next time you should keep an open mind and consider that there's more to life than what you can just see. Douche.

  • @259 Or you could read a book and maybe accomplish something in the long run.

  • memory WIN

  • the world record now is 32 seconds by hai yan zhuang

  • @ben1996123 yeah i saw, what wlse is amazing about him? he cant solve them while looking as fast.

  • i love how the blindfold is not even tight he most likely was watching through the bottom because if you have that great of memore to look at the cube for 56 seconds and memorize every little cube thats almost humanly impossible

  • @mala1818 actually at the world championships they only get 15 secs to look at the cube and then must do it blindfolded. a 14 year old prodigy set a record for doing 15 blindfolded in a row. soooo no its not impossible.

  • @mala1818

    Actually, anyone who's not ignorant in how they do it would understand it's not humanly impossible, even for non-asians. They don't "memorize the entire cube", they memorize what pieces need to go where and swap them 2 at a time.

  • @mala1818 Dude, if a 3 year old Chinese baby can fix a 4x4x4, then I think a teen can solve a 3x3x3 blindfolded.

  • waht the ....???

    O_o

  • WOW!!! 0.0

  • asians are awsome

  • @pbnjsandwatch Do you know why asians are so smart? It is because they work harder at strengthening their brains then other people. Asians come from a third world country where hardwork is req iuired. Asians born in America have a strict upbringing. I've known not so intelligent asians but they work hard. Althought some people are just born naturally gifted. But if you excercise your brain, this is achievable. Asians are not the only intelligent people.

  • Rubik's Cube has eight corners and twelve edges. There are 8! (40,320) ways to arrange the corner cubes. Seven can be oriented independently, and the orientation of the eighth depends on the preceding seven, giving 37 (2,187) possibilities. There are 12!/2 (239,500,800) ways to arrange the edges. Eleven edges can be flipped independently, with the flip of the twelfth depending on the preceding ones, giving 211 (2,048) possibilities.[19] There are exactly 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 permutations

  • How The Fu did u come up wit thatt?

  • just tkn intrst n maths after all stds cmpltd

  • Comment removed

  • Well, that sounds pretty easy to me. Maybe you should try challenging yourself rather than completing the same damn puzzle, trying to improve your time by a fraction of a second.

    And I think you meant "permute" but you could have just said "move" or something and I'd understand.

  • Quite the haughty opinion, nightkiller. If you don't have the perspective to look at your own life and see the triviality of certain aspects of it then I suggest you sit down and reflect before not just opening your mouth but arguing on for pages.

    Why bother comparing the Cube to literacy or fighting disease? Almost everything is a completely moronic and pointless waste of time when you compare it to learning to read or greater scientific pursuits. Give me a break. Poor argument.

  • I understand that everyone has their own personal hobbies, some arguably more practical than others. However, I was stating my personal opinion. This is an unbelievable accomplishment I can't comprehend, which I said to begin with. If he utilized all the memory he used to become great at this puzzle elsewhere, he'd likely change many lives.

    It was only when people insulted me, saying I'm "a jealous cunt/retard", that I began arguing. Opinions are opinions.

  • honestly, I believe this dissension is pointless.

  • lmao, xnightkillerx is damn hilarious.

    Anyway, why are people saying, "that is such a waste of time! Do something practical!'

    or

    "How or why you would use it as an outlet of entertainment is beyond my comprehension"

    What the hell? What about anything else people do for fun? That is one of the most ignorant and offensive comments I've seen.

    And also, well, this guy went to Princeton...so to say that he is wasting his life doing something useless is... -.-

    That pisses me off.

  • People are allowed to do whatever they want with their free time. That really doesn't matter to me. I just made a statement that, in my opinion, this puzzle is a waste of time. It's not ignorant or offensive, either; I provided plenty of reasoning with my opinion.

    I'm a freshman at Princeton this year. Where you attend or attended college has nothing to do with whether or not your hobbies have a purpose. I don't see where you got that correlation.

  • Comment removed

  • If nightkiller was smart enough to know of something before judjing it, then he wouldn't sound like a retard.

    Cubefreak.n.3.t.

    That's where I learned it.

  • niice,.. i wonder how fast he'll do without fold O.o

  • lmao once again,

    he had to be asian

  • wdf

  • I can solve it blindfolded, but it takes me 16 minutes

  • theres hella fewer poeple that can do this then you think. There people that do it, but if your freind says he can, he probably cant. A lot of poeple start with a Blank cube, put on a blindfold, mix it up, then play the video backwards.

  • It has to be asian..LOL..

  • how do we know he didn't just mess up a solved cube and then play it backwards?

  • lol they did they found out that thats what they did

  • There's no way this is backwards. That would mean that they had to speak backwards, walk backwards, and someone coughs, so that would have to be backwards too. It's not backwards.

  • Your an idiot

  • I would post a link to the retard seal of approval for you, but unfortunately youtube doesn't allow image links in comments.

  • Dude, just give him a PM with the link. It's bound to work.

  • "These take me several days to do. I very, VERY highly doubt this is mentally possible, for anyone, anywhere, of any intellect. If the bricks were encoded with braille, maybe... but being able to accurately memorize the thousands of positions blindly is completely impossible. Hate me if you want, but that's just too difficult to believe, and also a bit pointless of a skill if you ask me."

    you are officially a jealous cunt/retard.

  • So, essentially, you're resorting to putting down the mentally challenged to insult me for voicing my opinion? Great ignorant assumption there. Not surprising coming from someone with the name "AIDSbanana".

  • so, essentially, you actually take youtube comments seriously? great useless waste of your life there. not surprising coming from someone with the name "xnightkillerx". oh, and by the way, just because YOU are too stupid to solve one of these as fast as this guy can, doesn't mean it's impossible. Also, in case you haven't noticed people usually do this as a hobby and they have normal lives make contributions etc.

    in other words, GTFO troll.

  • Primarily, you're a glorified moron for taking the context of what I typed and paraphrasing your rebuttal in it.

    Additionally, yes, I take comments seriously. What kind of question is that? You certainly took mine to heart, so I have every right to take others' the same way.

    Finally, completing these has nothing to do with intellect. It's the application of useless patterns. The human mind has a limitation on its performance. If you had one yourself, you'd understand. Quit being belligerent.

  • Well, back on topic. Solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded is not impossible and not even that hard. It just takes practise. I had bigger problem learning how to read and write. So xnightkillerx you don't know at all what you are talking about and are very wrong. Or do you want to try and convince me that I can't solve it blindfolded?

  • If you found reading and writing more difficult than learning to solve a Rubik's cube, you should have spent more time obsessing over practical skills rather than unnecessary talents. Considering that over 80% of the globe is literate, whereas only several-thousand people can solve a cube blindfolded, I think you're lying a bit there.

  • I don't get you. Are your numbers suppose to prove that I'm lying? More people have tried to read than to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. I don't know exactly how long it took for me to learn how to read but I'm pretty sure that it was less than the ten hours I spent on learning how to solve the cube blindfolded. And no, I shouldn't spent more time on obsessing over practical skills. I've had a lot of fun, and I don't know what you life goal is, but that is one of mine.

  • Obviously more people focus on becoming literate because being able to communicate with millions is just a little more important than solving a useless puzzle. Nobody benefits from the cube's completion, not even you; it just brings you right back to where you started. How or why you would use it as an outlet for entertainment is beyond my comprehension.

  • Hah, I've benefited a lot. Just to mention a couple of things: I've gotten better memory, I've gotten better at english, I've gotten better on trying to get good at things. And that last one is the most important. Trying to improve so much on a thing has taught me that everything is possible with practise. Just having that attitude that I know I suck on something and knowing with practise I will get better. And it's been very entertaining got to foreign competitions in Holland, Spain, Denmark...

  • asking "why solve a cube?" is like asking "why do you want to continue to live?" because you want to. period.

  • No, actually, it's nothing like that.

  • These take me several days to do. I very, VERY highly doubt this is mentally possible, for anyone, anywhere, of any intellect. If the bricks were encoded with braille, maybe... but being able to accurately memorize the thousands of positions blindly is completely impossible. Hate me if you want, but that's just too difficult to believe, and also a bit pointless of a skill if you ask me.

  • your very naive my man

    have more faith in the human intelligence

    and dont just judge others based upon your own

  • fyi...some people can do them with there eyes not blinded in about 5 seconds. and some people, dedicate their life to it. so i think u should not be bashin on peeps videos please, cause these guys have worked really hard.

  • You're telling me not to criticize people who have worked "really hard" and "dedicated their lives" to a GAME. See, I think I'm obligated to. If someone is actually able to do this, their minds would better implemented doing something WORTHWHILE, don't you think? Imagine all of those minds, supposedly able of completing these meaningless puzzles in unbelievable times, applied themselves to curing disease? There'd be a hell of a lot less dead people in third world countries, that's for sure.

  • I understand where ur coming from:) I just still think its frickin amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im learning how to, oh and dont worry, im getting an A in science too.

  • Apparently, and judging by your profile and channel, you are obsessed over Runescape. Don't tell people that they're doing meaningless things when you obsess over PIXELS. Worthwhile way to spend hundreds of hours of your life. At least these people HAVE the potential to do great things, while you stare at your computer, yelling at your mom to get you more chocolate milk.

  • It must take some serious skill to formulate a condescending rebuttal, AND give me an entirely biased depiction of my life, based merely on my temporary YouTube background.

    I'd have been impressed if you quit while you were ahead, used what I stated against me, and didn't turn your argument into an altercation. However, you proceeded to mindlessly insult me with no true evidence to support your claims, making yourself appear as yet another uneducated child using YouTube as an outlet for anger.

  • That was the best comeback I've seen on YouTube.

  • Haha thanks.

  • Just because someone is good at puzzles or any other thing, does not mean they will exceed in other areas of life. It's just THIER talent. There are probably are people who are dedicating their life to the causes U are talking about, and bringing their field to another level. Those kinds of people probably don't attract the attention of YouTube though. look for science based sites and you'll probably find many "rubix cube kid" type scientists, technologists, bio engineers etc.

  • I still feel that solving one type of puzzle is a pretty superfluous ability. You're definitely right, though--people can be deft in more than one field. Most scientific study wouldn't appeal to the average YouTube user, either.

    I guess puzzle-solving can catalyze a career of some type in certain cases, but some people just waste way too much time on it, in my opinion.

  • holy shit

    i've been sitting here working on mine for the past hour and i've got one side done.

    this guys my hero.

    i didn't even know rubix cubes could turn that fast. :P

  • I was there that was at the science place in dallas texas 2005 august 15 i was 1 of the judges im the 1 with the black hair in the bam hoodie

  • HOLY SHIT.

  • bet u he can see a little under the blindfold

  • I solved the cube in that EXACT same time.

  • Blindfolded?

  • No, just did it in the same time. But I mean EXACTLY the same time. Literally.

  • you must have superb memory skills to do that

  • holy shit thats crazy he does it faster than me with out a blindfold

  • ha ha u got told u fuck face bitch

  • bien ahi bien ahi, los chinos la teinen re clara con los cubos che

  • stfu bitch ur just a hater

  • racist fuckface

  • I'm guessing you're an American, right? Don't hate on a race because they have a lot of smart, creative people. If anything, you should be jealous, or at least eager to try and do some crazy, amazing things on your own.

    But, instead, you troll around on Youtube videos all day and make unnecessary racist remarks to make yourself feel better. That's sad..

  • notice how he had the white and green pieced switched at the end

  • did he just move the cube?

  • ofcourse hes japanese, smart ass

  • have you broken any world records lately? didn't think so. dont try to act like you're tough if you cant back up your claim

  • lol pple with photographic memory is so lucky... im like the egsact opposite but i good with rubik cubes

  • i solved a cube in exactly 00:02:30 .94 seconds

  • lol mines is 1 min 33 seconds and 94 miliseconds

  • dang 1:43...and something milli seconds here and I learned like 8 days ago..

  • I've never accomplished solving one.

  • I have nothing to say to that.....sorry.

  • mines 10.48 seconds xD

  • mines 10.something...

  • wow

  • wow O_O that's exactly my best time in solving a cube but without blind folds. haha he's amazing

  • wow.

  • macky owns

  • damn hes is not huan

  • how da fuck did he do dat

  • Photographic Memory i guess

  • >.>'' its not a fake geez. this magician came to our school and he did it for us too. He said that it required a LOT of practice and u memorize it. Everyone can see that he wasnt faking since he taped his eyes and then blindfolded it o.o

  • It could be, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to do it blindfolded, you do it with knowledge of the orientation..by feel of course.

  • How does he know he know its finished?

  • Simple. When he's first studying it, he memorises which parts of the cube must be fixed, and then dons the blindfold and starts fixing. Once he runs out of things to fix, then it should be done.

  • haha yes GREAT explanation 259! :) people always ask me that question too and i try to explain it, but that is the best answer to far man :)

  • ...you're being sarcastic right?

  • you are an idiot. If you don't think it is possible you should look on the internet for the rubik's solution blindfolded. It is very possible.

    Idiot.

  • is he using the petrus method?

  • No. Petrus is for normal speedcubing. He uses the 3-cycle method for BLD solving.

  • honestly all of you who say it's easy. DO IT! If you were honest with yourself you probably wouldn't even finish one side before you started wondering where did the yellow corner piece go. Did I left or right invert 15 moves ago. Be realisitic.

  • a 3 cycle-guide to blindfold cubing

    look it up jackass before you say that again

  • its actually very easy and easier if you do it blind folded. if you can count to three you can do it easy

  • um accually its a lot more complex that that

  • I can't believe the amount of people who say,

    "I can do it"...

  • Sure, but I'm one of those who's not lying.

  • your are lying

  • you are lying

  • I agree that the cube had to be solved in order for it to be a world record... Macky's method is powerful, but hard to do well...

  • oh my god you guys are stupid... the "White" on the blue side is A REFLECTION!!!!

  • It doesn't matter what it is because it's an official world record, meaning that the cube must have been solved according to the judges.

  • There was almost for sure a white cube on the blue side.

  • solving it blindfolded isnt as hard as it looks. However, memorizing it and solving it in 2:18 is.

  • No, it's not. :-P

    Getting that fast, maybe...

  • i can do it but not with blindfolded

  • wow! amazing!!

    this is like when you play chess whitout a chessboard. you play "in your mind" :)

    good video!

  • wtf in the end i saw a white spot on the blue spot!

  • i can solve a rubicks cube...............buy it,display it, and have your freinds in auww.

  • damn hes good

  • oh nvm he analyzes it at the start :3

  • how do you solve it blind-folded? >.>

    do you feel the colours or something? o.-

  • no, u memorize the cube, then u orient the edges and corners, then u permute them. i'm almost done learning how to do it myself. it's not as hard as it looks.

  • Trying to memorise it quickly is a real bitch, though. I don't know how these guys do it so well.

  • guys its real. it was done at a real competition. anyway its hard to blindsolve, ive only done it 3 times

  • wat the hell mine froze

  • ignorant fools. anyway the current world record for solving the cube blindfolded belongs is 54.83 seconds and it belongs to Mátyás Kuti of Hungary. The video above is the world record for blindfold solving on year 2003.

  • i mean 2005

  • fake fake fake fake fake

  • not for the weak minded as you can obviously see

  • He's looking XD

  • you last three ppl are skrewed up 1rst why are you advertizing porn and second skrew you !you white ass wigger that acts tough and third just skrew you it was done it was a dam compotition

  • omg another asian pride...screw you hispanics, native americans, and black people

  • someones being a little racist

    svlirio2001

  • 2 things!! he memorized it ahead of time!!! and he didnt even solve it in the end!!!!! not htat special..

  • Can you solve a rubicks cubed blindfolded then?

  • Scary! Epic memory and brain power.

  • gooooo asiansssss

  • He must have great memory or just the skills. Nice!

  • what's his face is right, there is a white side up in the end.

  • That is so awesome :)

  • He memorized it at first, and do it in his head ... T_T ....

    Asian pride there ^^

  • Record holder is Hungarian. White Pride!

  • :)) How come you know the record holder is Hungarian :|

  • *UHUM* idiot, screw all you guys with your white/black/asian pride/whatever.

  • ..... This is a real competition ... no fake !! omg ... how can he remember the whole cube T_T

  • there a white piece on top at the end!

  • this scared me a little.

    but great job! *nervous laughing...

  • At _cubefreak.net_ Shotaro (the guy in this video) outlines his blindsolve method.  He does everything with number cycles, whereas people such as Stefan Pochmann do it with stories.
