I’ll admit it. I hated the Rubik’s Cube. Still do. And that goes for every other mind game puzzle designed to make me question my own IQ. My aunt had one and I could never solve the dang thing. Well, except for the time we broke it apart and re-assembled it in pristine fashion. For some reason, the feeling of accomplishment was a bit insipid. So needless to say, I am more than blown away by That’s stinkin’ amazing! As if the speed weren’t enough, he’s doing it with one hand!

Your post made me think of a student of mine who’s son took apart a broken photocopy machine to build a Rubik’s cube solver. Click to my post and there is a link to a one minute video.

Very cool, David. I guess it’s another testament to the power of the human mind, when you see how quickly some kid can solve the puzzle with one hand compared to a computer. And on top of that, it’s pretty amazing to consider that someone could figure out how to MAKE a computer do it at all.
