    I learned to solve blind in 2016 but never succeeded. When I saw you upload the original video, I was so mad with myself because I gave up and you didn't. After that, in January 2019, I tried it again and did it in my first try. Now, I could solve it blindfolded in under a minute (there's a video in my channel btw) and it was all because of you Mike. Now I'm one of the top blindfolded solvers in Vietnam and my times have been improving day by day. You inspired me to finish what I've started and I couldn't be more grateful. You are truly amazing!

      Yeah many people HUGELY underestimate their capabilities. Basically every normal person who does not have any learning disabilities, is able to be successful and rich, or learn anything and everything they wish to learn. The thing that's stopping most people is their lack of patience, lack of confidence, or their attitude/mindset towards general learning.
      And when I say they hugely underestimate their capabilities, I really mean that. The brain may not be as fast and accurate as a modern computer, but the amount of information that you can memorise and store is so immense that you wouldn't be able to reach your limits even after 500 years. And the more you learn, the more your brain becomes accustomed to it, thus making learning such as memorisation FAR easier as time passes.
      And actually, if you're someone who's into learning as a hobby, the best way to tell how much your learning skills are improving is learning decimals of PI.
      Learn the first 100 digits, record how long it took you, and then come back after 5 or 10 years of actively partaking in your hobby, and learn the next 100 digits of PI, and the difference should be immense, especially if you fully learn to understand how you brain processes and memorises information best, and thus use appropriate learning techniques that work best for you.

    @sixmint2904 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    For anyone starting out with Rubik’s cubes and are having trouble memorizing the algorithms, I completely recommend trying both and/or one of these:
    Write down all algorithms you need to know on a sticky note, and then write a bunch of notes until you fill up a normal sized piece of paper with sticky notes.
    The other method you can try is just taking a note full of the algorithms and having it next to you while you solve, don’t feel bad solving with a guide, that’s what I did. As you continue getting used to what you need to do and the moves the algorithms require, you can cross them out from your sticky note, until eventually you remember all of them.
    Or you can look at a video for help idk do whatever you want.

    So glad you re-uploaded this! During my isolating time, I was thinking of something to do. I’ve had a cube for about 2 years, but never knew how to solve it. I’ve been watching your videos for a few months, and was inspired to try to learn. I did! I sat down, and after watching and re-watching a video, I could solve it! I was so proud. This was yesterday. After watching this video, I want to try to learn blindfolded as well. Such convenient timing! Love your videos!

    Your videos inspired me to learn that. It felt like it was impossible at first, mainly because there are 40+ algorithms and cause memorizing the letters before solving can be painfull at first lol. Now, a couple months after I started I feel like it’s not really that hard. The algs can even be learned intuitively and even if you try to memorize them it’s easy since they’re very short (0 to 4 moves). It’s been 3 months and now I’m learning the advanced method (3-style). There are around 800 algorithms but you can learn them intuitively and even come up with your own algs.

    Mike you should genuinely give solving the 5x5x5 Blindfolded a shot. I went from learning to solve the 2x2x2 blindfolded in a couple hours, 3x3x3 blindfolded over the next week, and then after that, it took me about a full week to learn all of the algorithms and parities and special cases but I was very determined. And then, I finally gave it a shot, and on my first attempt, I successfully solved the 5x5x5 blindfolded. It took me just over 42 minutes to solve. And just to make sure that it wasn’t a fluke solve, I attempted it again the next day with a completely new scramble and I successfully solved it in 29 minutes 14 seconds. The moral of all of this: If you put your mind to something, anything is possible and you can make anything happen!!!
