Katelyn Tuohy solving a Rubik’s cube

New PR! Lovely

52secs! And while talking!

thanks for posting.

Not bad. Solve a cube + run 400m in under 2 minutes should be the mental/physical fitness benchmark

Stalk much

Three years old?

What’s that worth for a male? Probably 30 seconds (The 18 minute 5k of cubing).

There's a Rubik's cube doc on Netflix where they can solve them in like under 10 seconds.

This documentary captures the extraordinary twists and turns in the journeys of Rubik's Cube-solving champions Max Park and Feliks Zemdegs.

This is impressive though!

That was so slow. She was doing it wrong.

Your average person could not solve it in a day.

At least at my high school XC athletes tended to be the smartest by overall GPA. Kind of makes sense due to the mental toughness needed for being a good runner.

Guessing you either skipped the video or watched it with the sound off.

Reality is, VERY FEW people could ever solve the cube without assistance. I grew up when the cube was everywhere. Everyone had one. I can solve it - but I learned the patterns out of a book and memorized them like everyone else did. I'm sure Tuohy did the same. If you just handed a million people a cube and said solve it without any access to any assistance, I bet only a few could do it.

I'm not an idiot considering I scored a 1390 on the SAT, math + verbal.

That’s nice. I’m happy for you. What does it have to do with the current discussion, please?

Sure they can. You realize that it is all memorized algorithms, right?

Put the average person who has never seen a Rubik's cube in a room with no internet and they would probably never be able to solve it. But give them access to the internet, they could memorize the algorithms and easily solve it in less than a day.

1390 is mediocre lol

That dude kept elbowing her, he should have moved out of the way for her sub 60 sec attempt.

Uh, that might be true, but Katelyn says in the video that someone watching it will probably be like, “That’s so slow. She’s doing it wrong.”
