Shotaro "Macky" Makisumi Solves Rubik's Cube While Juggling

[ChoLinMusic]

nice jugglinggg

[careygly]

@ChoLinMusic Nice music on your channel too!

[Vegichi3]

aww i wish I was that awesome :( my one handed sucks though :(

[careygly]

@Vegichi3 Practice makes perfect!

[Rikimaaru]

@careygly correction pratice makes permanent



[Guinepigsrock]

what song is this

[careygly]

@Guinepigsrock The song is in the credits at the end. It's "A Kaleidoscope of Mathematics" by James Horner from "A Beautiful Mind"

[lin2k4]

Wow! Great multitasking

[careygly]

@lin2k4 LOL, true that!

[bluestreak711]

I don't know whether he was the guy or not but I hope you can either help me or point me in the right direction with the guy's name so I can search it.

Thank you so much and I appreciate your time and God Bless.

@bluestreak711

Please send me a message with your

email address.

@bluestreak711 I think you're referring to on that's basically an extension of the fish, correct? Here's what I use, only uses LRU faces, and swaps the two corners shared between the R and U faces (and two edge pieces as well, but I don't think you care for your algorithm, which sounds like the Fridrich algorithm): L'URU'LU2R'URU2R'

[bluestreak711]

@zanfur I finally figured it out after much rewriting of the algorithm i saw. I came up with this algorithm , which was the one i was looking for.

F R' F L2 F' R F L2 F2

[bluestreak711]

I think it is possible that your friend made that instructional video I originally learned from but I am not sure.

All I remember is that he was Chinese or Japanese , he wore glasses and I think the guy in the video said he held the world record for a one handed solve and he said if i can solve the cube in under a minute with one hand you should be able to do it within five minutes with two hands.

[bluestreak711]

the Faces i used in the algorithm were the L face, the R face, and the U face, maybe the D face but I am not sure. the variations i have seen use the B face and I don't like those and they don't work well. after I use that algorithm all i have to do is solve the center pieces and those are easy, i remember how to do those.

Please help, it is kind of sickening and frustrating to be able to solve the rubix cube not much over a minute and not hardly be able to do it at all now.

[bluestreak711]

i usually start with the white side, I solved the first 2 layers and the the all yellow pieces (opposite side) , with no need of the corner or edge pieces in the correct spot., i do that by getting my L , then my line, then my cross, then my fish,

the next step is what i can't remember., i would hold my cube with at least 2 solved corners on the L face, then i would perform an algorithm to solve the last to corners, i have seen a few variations but it is not what i am looking for.

[bluestreak711]

PLEASE HELP ME... I am a speed cuber with a personal best of 00:01:14.1 I stopped solving for a couple of months and I forgot one of my key algorithims, please help me remember what it was. it is either one or two that i forgot and I can't find the same method anywhere. I learned it from a video either on expert village or ehow and i can't find that video any more. i'll give a short description of what i need in the next comment.

[creidefy]

aww you dropped it once! thats pretty impessive though

[wentao96]

umm I go to First Avenue middle school right now which is where Macky went I heard stories about him a lot from the teachers. I am applying to poly tech right now. I was wondering if Macky could give a tip or two

[careygly]

What kind of tips are you looking for? I can certainly ask him, or hook you up with some other cubers closer to your age.

[wentao96]

not really a tip for cubing just applying to poly tech because I'm that good of a cuber

[careygly]

I passed your message along to him. Good luck!!

[wentao96]

thank you so much

[djaddyr]

he failed with the apples once and was as slow as my died granny(

rest in peace). nothing amazing. greetings

[wentao96]

no yeah then you try doing doing it

[flip9483]

That's awesome... in the most literal sense of the word.

[careygly]

I'll let him know. Thanks!

[hobbyguy99]

nice job!!!

[TGGeko]

awesome, now solve three doing the same thing.

[careygly]

Be careful what you wish for! :-)

[Heero67]

That. Was. So. Amazing. I'm completely awe-struck!

That just made my day :)

[careygly]

I'm really glad you liked it. Have a nice weekend.

[mikekearn]

Very impressive.

[careygly]

Thanks! I'll pass that along.

[savvo01]

Do you think he is right handed or left handed?

[careygly]

I'm not sure. I'll ask him and let you know.

[careygly]

This was Macky's response to my email:

"To answer the Youtube question, I'm right-handed. Most right-handed

cubers use the left hand for one-handed solves.

Best wishes for 2009,

-macky"

[savvo01]

Thanks for answering.

[funnybunnyrox]

electronic rubiks cube?

[careygly]

Nope, plain old classic Rubik's cube!

[ESSalter]

WOW! That was quite impressive!

[careygly]

Thanks Elizabeth. I might get him to do it at our booth next year! LOL :-)

[cloudmap]

that was cool :D

[careygly]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[pvrosie]

Lol i remember him doing this at math day at the beach a looooooong time ago.

[hdskull]

Did you invite him over for dinner ?

[Guoguodi]

Music?

[Guoguodi]

Ah, never mind. Saw the credits :)

[careygly]

Yeah, I thought the song from the movie "A Beautiful Mind" was appropriate!

[pcharles93]

It's only been a few years, but he looks so much older.

[lee0sensei]

Yes,

From the video of his Wr to now, he has changed a lot...

[hdskull]

Uh, he's 18 now ? that was when he was 12.

[AcEoFhEarTS1991]

I love watching him do that

[Raining0]

good ...
