Tyson Mao solving Rubik's cube blindfolded on CNN

[TheDarcang3l]

He said he was gonna try dumbasses, he didn't say he was gonna get it. Man if you can't do it than don't say anything retards

[BRBallin1]

if the asian can't do it...NOBODY CAN

[BillSpeedCuber]

wow...epic fail :/

[tune5k]

"complete stranger"

[vkk19]

tyson did gr8 and who ever emailed should've believed him. but its also sad that he wasnt able to concentrate and finish the cube completely

[nogimmickcardtrick]

We all believe you can do it tyson!

[Pumasbali]

che peccato:(

[dmr778810]

thumbs up if u tryed to go to the website

[mr101yobros]

i cant find tyson mao.com

[DahBigBadWolf]

"no time flat"

??

[aus199699]

He didnt even solve it so dont have a false title

[dalfjsd214]

@aus199699 Lets see you try to solve a ONE MOVE SCRAMBLE while an annoying white guy doesn't let you concentrate.

[aus199699]

@dalfjsd214 im noit the one going on t.v claiming that im gonna solve it, he was supposed to solve it

[gentlemantaste]

@aus199699 you are absolutely right

[birlibis2juggler]

That motherfucker should keep his mouth shut. He was distracting him

[jiamonx2]

this guy is nothing compared to feliks

[BeeLuvr]

@jiamonx2 Feliks wasn't cubing around this time.

[TheRubixGuy]

the title is misleading

[TobakEnthusiast]

"mixing the cube for an hour" ahahahhahahahahhahlol

[Mr321kickass]

haha epic fail!

[Speedcuber105]

@Mr321kickass Lets see you try.......

[Gigafrost]

Lol Tyson Mao is thinking "Okay, shut up CNN tool and let me start" @ 2:32

I love how the new guy was acting like he was running the show by saying "Okay check the blindfolds" and no one showed up XD

[Gigafrost]

Lol Tyson Mao is thinking "Okay, shut up CNN tool and let me start" @ 2:40

[Gigafrost]

That's CNN for you. Proving their racism.

[jaibhakti]

Tyson teaches how to Blindfold Solve the 3x3 cube on Rubik's Cube official "You Can Solve It" DVD. I bought it for myself for Christmas and opened it already...couldn't wait!

He also teaches a Beginner's Solve and Speed Cubing techniques.

He's a great teacher! I solved my first cube after watching the Beginner's video twice ('watched the PLL 3 times).

His teaching offers a great understanding of how the pieces are being moved, rather than offering mere algorithms--'til OLL & PLL!

[Emiljus]

mr. mao is too ,nice to tell the guy to shut up. and then too apologetic when he gets it slightly off when it was the reporter's fault -.-

[JRskatr]

There plenty of videos of him solving it blindfolded, they can't all be fake lol. He can definitely do it, Anderson should have kept quiet so he could have concentrated better!!!

[PU8ZO4N94]

that shithead on the left messed him up. legit.

[TheInnocence111]

Walrus llama duck ftw.

[sfgators]

I've seen him do it in person. Yes, he can solve it that fast. Maybe he was a little nervous on live TV. He should leverage this to get more acting parts in Hollywood. I would quit astro-physics and just go for Hollywood acting roles!

[rubiksgh3]

are you allowed to talk in a solve at a competition

[rubiksgh3]

what about a guy going over a girl fro her rubiks cube skills

[spondulas]

Tyson's the man. Of course he can solve it, he used to hold the world record for solving it blind folded. Lots of people can do it. Just not as fast as Tyson can.

[stanleyphan1001]

yeah thats right, get a girl, get a life, solving those stupid rubik cube wont give u a job!

[spondulas]

@stanleyphan1001 He's an astrophysicist. He has a job.

[skatercuber4life]

@stanleyphan1001 learning how to solve a rubiks cube will take u from complete dumbass, lazy couch potato 9 to 5er drink quite a bit to brainy actually do something with your life that makes u feel alive cool person.

[jussaw]

AMAZING!!!

[dragong23]

beast!

[EuniceServando]

i think tyson can't preety much solve the rubix cube blindfolded because he didn't memorize the colors clearly but i think he is a champion

[ih8mcfly]

the correct challenge should be called solving rubik's cube blindfolded while an annoying reporter is distracting you

[uaesbriosheje]

@ih8mcfly I saw more annoying reporters.. At least this one was funny :P

[SereielAz]

"Hello Complete Stranger!"

LOL just about died from laughter



[CTCodemonkey]

1:20 = Breaking keyboard from hysterical laughter.

[Mistofknowledge]

amazing, that anchor was kinda annoying :P

[stupidn00bhax]

holy shit this guy substituted our math class today and hes also the co-coach for our schools badminton team.... no joke

[JasmineLiu1996]

Tyson went to my school today! it's in Taiwan..

I got his signature ~~

[CTCodemonkey]

This is the problem with solving a cube blindfolded. If you get it right, you look like a genius. If you get it wrong on live TV, you look like a joke.

[imjtblanton]

Holy schmoley!!! That's pretty dang amazing.

[animaanimaanima]

omg, he talked and solved same time so pro.

i tried it at school to impress the bitches but they were all yelling around me, OMG OMG SO COOL OMG. so i was like: STFU and scared them away

[swoosh18]

I could do it blindfolded with a marching band performing 2 feet away from me

... I learned from tyson mao's tutorial. :3

[Riceboxer]

wow that news anchor needs to shut up

[goatseforever]

There's a reason people are told to shut the fuck up during BLD at competitions.

[jamesfirst92]

dont be mean .

[jburgos22]

he failed cause its live.... he is nervous and the news anchor is noisy so interrupting the concentration of the boy

[necrophallus]

This guy is stil a win!

[xnonsuchx]

Anderson Cooper actually had him on the following night to re-do it because he thought he may have been distracted and he solved it just fine. Dunno if there's a YouTube vid of that.

[jeuxmaztha]

the news anchor so noisy, so tyson didnt get concentrate at the cube,.

[trumpetsoul]

'girl love a rubic cubes master' oh my cooper was dissing chinese bwoi :)

[sixtyforce64]

funny how "complete stranger" is Asian too and she kinda looks like him. "complete (*relative/friend,coughcough*) stranger."

[jamesfirst92]

fuk off racist

[izovire]

It's funny when they said that woman mixed the cube for nearly an hour... it only takes 15 sec. and it can't really get mixed any more... the world record is 45.55 seconds btw

[javiL11]

epic fail, loser

[fallonscenicbeauty]

Let's see you do it :)

[beeilve]

God damn that is a lot of filler...

[skate4life1349]

awsome

[rubiks99]

watch?v=hH-feAkkUPY  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz first blindfolded on this panet tv it's me. The return of the cube too

youtube=pushing link views only

[zadaqom]

The anchor man is so noisy.But I believe tyson mao can really do it

[ThirdEyeAbility]

that's really amazing!

[thesmart358]

I met the guy at Cincinnati Summer Open 2008, great guy. Lots of fun to hang out with.

[CrazyNDNkid]

lol fingertapper is right

[fingertapper88]

I like how the "complete stranger" has to be asian. C'mon CNN.

[tenzin1985]

that was kinna kool..

[cobechita]

HE'S AMAZINGGGG!!! <3

[1995magnus]

HE IS MY RUBIX IDOL

[dudegameer]

hey anchor man

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hijohnkim]

anchor's a fucking retard

[vpop9]

haha, yeah. hard enough to solve without an egg bantering away like that

[bigbuckeyeboy44]

I wonder how he spends his Friday nights! I'm just kidding! He's a genius!

[zorac91]

maybe if the anchor guy would shut the fuck up, then I think Tyson will have gotten it =D

[acrandomhearts]

that telivision guy should have been silent while he did it... they he probly would have gotten it..

[reddinosaur7]

he is pretty good but there are 20 people ahead of him on the world record list for blindfolded 3x3 solve. i hope he can improve his time

[Chriso110]

to be fair no1 here could do any better +}

[eggory]

That anchor guy's kind of a dick

[Thelovelychristinaa]

When Anderson used to be young.

[mygirlfanatic]

no way~

tsk tsk

maybe he was a bit pressured cus hes on live~

[259]

I've done BLD solves before and my success rate is unsurprisingly low. Even people who are very good at like Tyson here will mess up sometimes.

[fendikye]

Can you even do it? You stupid racist bastard.

[cqly77]

redmapleleaf,

You're just jealous because you're too stupid to do it.

[Andiror]

LOL he does it in 5 seconds once he sees the cube

[dOOBiE300E]

It's called "live television" morons. You can't have complete silence for too long... idiots.

[SimonB7EA]

Crazy...

[ChangFromUS]

bitch wouldnt shutup, no wonder tyson couldnt solve it right. he was so close though

[tliatl90]

that's crazy!

[ericforman65]

if the guy didnt stop talking, maybe he could concentrate

[skatercuber4life]

@ericforman65 during a blindfold solve and memorization u are aloud 2 where ear muffs because u really need 2 concentrate.

[FitCuber65]

@ericforman65 lol, my old account

[highbyesky]

he has abnormally large hands lol. But no that is way cool.

[abovefilms]

lol @ "the ladies love a rubix cube master!" tyson seems like a cool cat.

[angel9864]

Who is the first cuber blindfolded on TV ?

Gaétan Guimond not Tyson Mao

Look this video 17 seconds.... rubik's ruse ?

return of cube = Guimond

The world is blind too

CNN present the cube blindfolded

CNN is fox tv biggest views too no ?

Tyson knew his name and many others but nobody called his name on media

[MrNight2027]

Way to go dipshit,u screwed him up....he would have done it if he would have shut up for more than 10 seconds.

[Xclann]

? the web site doesn't work...

[s373n2]

well we can all thank the fucking stupid host for him failing to soling it. tyson asked for quiet and what did the host do? talked his butt off.

[ivnhu]

if that retard just would shut up -_-

give him some concentration omg

[gccvideomaker]

he got distructed

[psycoonr1]

he just said he didnt want enybody to talk O.o and tht old man talked enyways -.-'

[svuu]

that was so distracting

[iwuvbuffy]

that sucks...but he's so witty haha

[Genie1048]

I feel let down. With that much time to study the cube, execution should have been a piece of cake. However, it was very distracting...

[chimstership]

yeah, he it is so distracting to solve it blindfolded while sum guy is yapping away

[boiswatching]

yeah one of the greatest japanese cubers was on a tv show, and the hosts kept freaking talking and talking and talking, and you could see on his face hes like "shut the hell up so i can concentrate" this is not spam

the video: watch?v=J5831jrUR_A

[silex7]

that white hair guy is the reason he detrubted him with his stupid questions .

[milton123]

what a nice guy tyson is

[Genie1048]

I met him in competition

[Hakan625]

aaah too bad the missed the last step.. he got distracted

[boiswatching]

i swear the ost dude almost called a rubik's cube the arobics cube :(

[PandaMyCo]

CNN guy is gay

[FireStormBaller]

man that guy was soo annoying. i bet he messed up tyson. man if i was tyson i would throw that rubik's cube at his face.

[blahblahjess]

hahaha

[punk14princess]

haha...i saw him on beauty and the geek...too bad he lost..he's my bet

[ChrisBrandariz]

yea so did i

[MasterEliteX]

lol he was on beauty on the geek

[Neverendingstoryx]

Stupid person talking to Tyson -_-. I bet he would have solved it.

[dkdkdk1238]

what was the website plzz tell!!

[duboda]

it was stolen by some company

[gamesx12]

i went on it today, wtf?

[duboda]

thats because its been replaced by some cheap site by some cheap website

[VG728]

I can solve my cube in like 3 mins with eyes open but how the hell does he move so fast.. i am truley amazed.

[finalrayne]

umm. silicone :D

you should spray it on each of your pieces. then reassemble the cube.

[d12rwin]

yeah its totally nervous watching many people?! aw.. anyway wow. 5/5

[rocker278]

i think he using the jessica friedrich method but it seems its a even more advanced method nice job tyson mao!!!:)

[duboda]

you dont use the fridrich method for BLD, it is a completely different method

[rocker278]

ohhh

[mymy080]

He is too cute! :)

I've watched this like a hundred times..I'm totally facinated!!

[velderia]

I would be nervous on CNN too. I mean, it's live. You don't want to screw up but you do it anyway. Lol.

[itsmicheleeexo12]

that dude kept on interupting! i bet tyson could've solved it blindfolded if he didnt talk while Mao was solving it...

[Rubix189]

ouch, how embarassing!

[RyuuXLe]

The reporter said that it's stuck or somewhat when he tried to do his. I think that if you're not used to doing it, it'll probably feel strange and you /think/ it's stuck. I had a hard time moving the cube slab too when I tried to do it. :[

I think I should go buy one, just to kill time.

[Gozaburo1]

What the fuck, I can solve the cube in like 3 minutes (nothing special) and if anyone disturbes me i can screw up and start all over!

[Dekebolnohib]

It's no wonder he couldn't do it, they wouldn't leave him alone!

[KingOfTheBritains]

is this the same guy on beauty and the geek?

if it is, he did it behind his back then, so theres no disputing he can actually do it. stupid reporter wouldnt hush up

[ostiguy888]

Il devait exiger que Anderson ferme sa gueule.

Tyson n'est pas aussi brillant que vous le croyez. Personne ne réfléchis correctement. Demandez vous seulement pourquoi que les adolescents ou les enfants sont les meilleurs au monde. Se laisser prendre par les influences est la faiblesse de ce monde depuis le début des temps. This world repeat stupid reporter..........stupid reflexion yes.

[WiL2S]

lol klr...mais Tyson est trop gentil pour exiger une tel chose. Tyson etait un eleve de Caltech University...est ce que tu sais comme c dur d'etre admis? Au contaire, jsuis desoler mais s'il n'est pas brillant il est extremment fort.

[iluvnaruto9]

stupid reporter!!!! He couldn't do it b cause the reporter was talkin too much! Psshh

[X3lor]

That was what i was thinking to.

[buizan]

Reporter was being gay. He needs to shut the hell up.

[boomawang]

he also needs to fill dead air

you're retarded

[hardyzfan3434]

That stupid reporter distracted him. That sucks. He is still did great though.

[georgina168]

maybe he can see through the blindfold...

[kaimanathemetalhead]

He solved a good deal. So their is no way you shouldn't believe it. Hes awesome. I wish i was that good.

[beho1124]

Tyson mao is my Idol

[ostiguy888]

Ton idol a été battu par un petit gars de 14 ans.

[lachose44fr]

(matyas kuti)

[levichristian08]

Fricken news reporter wouldnt shut up so he coulsnt concentrate! What an idiot!

god but he can do it and hes pretty cute. =]

[lpncg13]

Poor SOB I know he can do it though

[WeeWonder]

haha ya im sure ladies will go after a rubiks master

[Mac4452]

this guy is a legend. The only reason he couldnt do it is because the reporter would not shut the hell up. Surley he messed him up. Otherwise tyson would have solved it completelt.

[jiffypiff]

stupid reporter dude! tyson could do it though

[NFAlex]

Yeah he only messed up because of the stupid reporter guy. <_<

Still, gotta give him credit for doing so well with a bunch of retarded dumbasses yelling at him during the solve.:D

[animeflaggersuckdick]

Congratulations on being the most retarded Youtuber spammer ever.

[Sa967St]

its really distracting when people talk to you while your memorizing the cycles :(

I solved it faster and properly when I'm alone in my room than when I'm surrounded by people watching me

[purplefreak00]

I was so sad when he was off Beauty and the geek.

[YTClone]

He's THAT good. You should double check the official record.

[Hadley4000]

I bet he got ribbed a lot at various tournaments.

But I agree. It's Anderson's fault.

[DeathLegend666]

that reporter guy needed to shut up

[deblock111]

faggot ass reporter he should put something in his mouth

[phmn94]

cube freak is right tyson even said that he doesn't want to start a conversation BECAUSE he's thinking great video though

[cubefreak93]

its the news reporters fault for distracting him

[phosoxrad]

someone needs to tell cooper about etiquette. at competitions when people are blindfolding, everyone should be QUIET. that means stop talking jackass.

[magicmaniac23]

today i was at caltech and my brother competed in the fall competition. I saw TYSON MAO personally! It was so cool!
