this Rubik’s Cube changed my life
how can become someone who does not give
up the first time I saw the Rubik’s Cube
was in 2015
remember be regular cube with a
challenge if it softens day I’ll get an
award I scrambled it up and it became a
huge mess of colors I tried randomly
turning the pieces and in ten minutes
you guessed it no luck tried solving I
tried turning them again and again and
again with hopes it’s one point in who
gets off no it didn’t
after 30 minutes of randomly turning
pieces I got an idea I googled how to
solve a Rubik’s Cube and thousands of
results came up I clicked the most
this was what he was saying another
video I watched said things like first
we have to solve the white cross and
then we can solve we can orient the
first layer then we can orient the
second layer then we can permute all
layers and then we can orient the last
layer whoa ironically gave up an hour
later I felt like there was a big empty
space in my brain just needed to be
filled up I tried watching another video
which I kind of understood more I tried
solving it and solving and solving it
until what until at one point I managed
to solve it by the end of the day I had
managed solve the cube about five times
every time referring back to the video
to remember the algorithms next morning
I got my award which was which were five
different shapes and sizes of puzzles
I learned to solve those things and then
got new ones few months later I had all
the cubes that I could find in Bulgaria
by that time my 3×3 record was 50
seconds soon after I got bored bored
river cubes so I ditched him I got back
after 2 months and I got faster each day
at that time my tree by tree record came
40 seconds and my to watch record came
10 seconds soon after I found the root
real online Rubik’s Cube store and I
ordered about 10 cubes I managed to
solve all those thank yous in about a
week and January I started learning a
new white soft cubes which is the C
Fault method C fab method consists of
solving the first two layers together
and then solving this the last layer all
by itself by that time my my two got to
record drop to five seconds soon I’ll be
going to real the cube competition where
everybody goes it’s not only the world
record holder for all kinds of room for
all kinds of puzzles but it’s also the
guy who can solve the cube in
it the guy who can solve the Cuban 10
second and the guy has no idea what the
Ruby Cuba’s competitions are held all
around the world and the words are
usually just certificates almost no one
goes there for the prize people just go
there for the game the rubric you was
invented in 1984 by Erno Rubik he
invented it but couldn’t solve it for a
really long time
first competition is held in Budapest in
1982 where the record was twenty-two
point nine five seconds and the current
record is held by Felix and eggs with
the time four point seven three seconds
for this cube all of us cubers have a
strong passion for solving puzzles we
have the passion for many reasons some
of them may be improvement in your
thinking skills your hand-eye
coordination or your concentration but
don’t think that power comes easy as a
great man once said with great power
comes great responsibility first you
have to solve two learning algorithms
like this one this algorithm actually
just makes really pretty pattern an
actual complicated algorithm that
everybody has flirted in the beginning
is this one this switch is two corners
diagonally took a really long time to
learn all these algorithms but again it
paid off even though the cube is hard to
learn it can benefit you in many ways as
I said hand-eye coordination
concentration and thinking those with
the cube you look for colors that match
and instantly perform an algorithm which
I haven’t memorized and is now muscle
memory that can improve in many that can
improve you in many aspects of school
work driving or anything where for
example in school you can learn to type
faster with your hand-eye coordination
which you have learned from the cube
during work typing faster concentrating
and then driving where you can avoid
obstacles you may need it the most
important value the cube teachers
it’s not as if it’s more important to
persevere than to actually then to
remember the algorithms if you persevere
you get faster and better or whatever
you’re doing it’s not only the Rubik’s
Cube if you want to learn to ride a bike
to swim dive faster or anything else
perseverance is key second most
important aspect is practice when you
practice you get faster at anything and
you and you get used to it if you just
solve the cube or do anything once a
week for example your time we’ll never
get faster or you never get better but
if you do it let’s say 10 times a day or
for 10 minutes a day you’ll get better
and reach this car and on and off never
give up
thank you [Applause]
