Last week, we brought to you the extraordinary Rubik’s Cube solving talents of Florida football player Nick Washington. This week, speed alone was not enough to make the cut.
The real question is, can you solve three Rubik’s Cubes in less than 20 seconds while juggling them at the same time? For this dude, whose online handle is rubocubo, the answer is yes.
Juggling and simultaneously solving Rubik’s Cubes is apparently a thing that people do, but this guy is unique in the fact he does it so damn fast. The all-time speed record for one cube is a little south of five seconds, but it was not that long ago the fastest solvers were only slightly below 20 seconds.
No word on how long it took this guy to develop these skills, but it was undoubtedly infinitesimally more than his 15 (or in this case, 20) seconds of fame.
OK, as it turns out, rubocubo’s skills can be attributed more to digital effects than juggling talent and incredible dexterity with his hands. What a disappointment. He posted this video Wednesday afternoon.
Before we get too wrapped up in this guy’s accomplishment (which now turns out to be a trick), let us pay homage to his forbearer, Sir Ravi the Juggler. Without Sir Ravi’s guile and courage to test the upper limits of man’s ability to solve Rubik’s Cubes, cubers everywhere would be stuck solving cubes in the same way forever.
From all of us at The Comeback, thank you, Sir Ravi. You are the real deal.
