I was literally just thinking about whether Bo could solve a Rubik's cube and I found this. I'm not even joking. Literally 5 minutes ago I wanted to know whether he could solve them and then this popped up on my feed...freaky
For the people that are saying they can do it quickly, just remember Bo was rapping so he couldn't put all his focus on solving it, he also has to do the rap.
Well he also did it will doing a long rap from memory and interacting with people in front of a huge audience, also solving it just about in the same time he expected to finish the song.
***** Let me just ask you really quick...How much of your life do you spend watching TV, browsing youtube or facebook, laying in bed, etc etc....you know, pointless things? I like to use some of my spare time to solve puzzles. When you can solve a 3x3 cube in ~20 seconds on average, doing 3000 solves doesn't take a very long time. 90% of my time is used working towards getting my masters degree in physics, and doing research in materials science. So yeah...I don't have much spare time, and I find that solving puzzles is relaxing. My original comment was just a response to the plethora of comments that were amazed that he could solve a rubiks cube while speaking, which contributes nothing to the difficulty of solving it. Just trying to help dispel of some ignorance.
I started solving mine at the same time as bo, when I finished I still had a minute 10 seconds left of the video. But I wasn't rapping at the same time, props to him
In case you were wondering, solving a Rubik's cube, at least the way he does it, doesn't require any mathematical knowledge, just a good memory, which he must have in order to remember all of his songs and raps as well as he does.
Well, he wrote them.. So it can't be that hard to remember them. I just started watching him a year ago and I can recite his songs/raps forward and backwards without music.
He's a comedian not a championship rubiks cube solver, and solving it in about three minutes while rapping and looking up and around is still pretty good.
I think the impressive part is he times it with the finish of his song. It's not the speed at which he solves the cube, it's that he knew how much playing around he could do with it before actually solving it.
You can muscle memorize rubiks cubes. I haven't solved one in two years but i guarantee if someone handed me one I could solve it based solely on muscle memorized algorithms. I'm a musician so I could most likely tie that with a rap like that. It would take some practice but I could get it eventually. Doing it in front of a whole crowd so casually though is what makes Bo so much better.
As someone who knows how to solve it, I can tell you that yes you do need math to solve it, you need to learn algorithms/specific patterns. But it's not hard to do once you got the hang of it, so I'm not surprised that he could do it while on stage/rapping
Knowledge of algorithms is not what leads to being able to do a Rubik's cube without looking. It is the ability to predict how the various cubies will be positioned after you perform your various moves. Also, algorithms do not really require math. All they require is memorizing a series of moves. I don't mean to degrade what Bo is doing in the video, it is very impressive. I just don't want people to be intimidated by the challenge that is the Rubik's cube because they think it involves math.
@archiefan118 It takes absolutely no math to solve a rubiks cube for one.. and it take him like 2 + minutes, someone who has never touched one could do that. The only thing I am impressed by is the fact that he can keep the beat steady at the same time.
He said that there are people who can do it under 10 seconds, not him. Just because I say, "Lots of people can do back-flips." doesn't mean I can to a back-flip.
Actually, to solve them really fast you do have to know some match equations or something. My friend was telling me about it and I was like, just put the colors on the same side.
Well the solution to a Rubik's* cube is an algorithm; quickly evaluating the starting point then following the right predetermined sequence of rotations might be an exercise in memory, but it is certainly mathematics at its base.
@jaydoug88 just because its recorded doesn't mean it was done illegally. As long as the venue or the performer doesn't have a problem with it, its perfectly legal

Its his old song, Bo Fo Sho he wrote it like 9 years ago
This is not helping my parasocial relationship with Bo

how the hell.. that was truly impressive. rapping and doing a rubix cube like that? I don't think I've ever seen someone do that.

illuminati
I mean, he can solve a rubik's cube in a minute-twenty. :D
He should practice more.
he can do it in a minute 20.
19 year old Bo FTW!
His boxers are always sticking out of his jeans hah
i'd pay money for that rubiks cube
Same cri
He just took lyrics from nearly all his rap songs and bunched them together. I love it
For the people that are saying they can do it quickly, just remember Bo was rapping so he couldn't put all his focus on solving it, he also has to do the rap.
"There is a railroad underground. Platform 9 and 3 quarters." I love Bo!
His legs oh my god
Gasoline Baby I'm guessing zombie girl is your favorite ghost town song?
Gasoline Baby
He is 6'5 what did you expect
where the fuck is ryan ross 6'6 i think
as if it wasn't clear already that he's super fucking intelligent
ok seriously doing the rubics cube during a show just makes me love him more. so genius.
The rap is called Bo Fo' Sho'
Common misconception: solving a rubik's cube is difficult. Common misconception #2: solving a rubik's cube while talking is difficult
you do it
I've only done it around ~3000 times, is that enough for you bud
sigalig no.

The end was fucking bad ass
Bo Fo Sho

It has now been 10 years for you but it's been a month since I found him and can do the exact same thing
Nearly went deaf at the end. Thank fuck I didn't have my volume any louder than what it was
nearly went blind.... then I scrolled down and couldn't see your picture any more
EliteSniperTV Nice avi lmao
Holy. Crap. bo is an inspiration to me. being a fellow comedian I look up to him so much i get whip lash.

Seventh grade, woo!
FALSE, Eighth Grade.
Oh, Bo!
I just watched men and women aladdin, where he used the say hi to 1998 joke as well.
How does he even....
Your just three my Rubik's cube I am never giving you a care package again!!!
M.C. Emo Nice english
I love how when he was talking about the Underground Railroad he added in how he know the way, 9 3/4. Amazingnessssss.
I love rubic's cubes my record is a minute 15 seconds. I also like bo burnham so this comment is relevant.
Rubik's*
Thanks, phew. If you didn't catch that I don't know what I would have done.
Np mate :)
Mine is 46 seconds
1 minute and 40 seconds :/
It's more about memorizing patterns and how to resolve them, as far as I've seen from my friends.
My personal best is 32 seconds. I keep getting 33 seconds a bunch of times I can't seem to beat it.
How low did you get it?
Bo fo sho in the fetus stage
Reading the name of the city off of his palm is very FOTC. I love it.
wow. he..is...something else. i lvoe him with all my heart
Bo is amazing
And you are furthering the conversation.
"What did you say with your scarf indoors? Say 'hi' to 1998 for me."
hahaha
freakin bo i just tried to solve it and rap at the same time but i...couldnt......
deffinately the sickest version of this song, and all cause of the rubik's cube! GO RUBIK!!
thiiiiiiiNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGggggggs LIKE A TAmpon thief I had to pull some fucking strings
this is actually just a clip of Bo solving a Rubik's cube while rapping 'I'm Bo Fo Sho'

*CUBERS ASSEMBLE*

He can actually do it in a minute twenty when NOT rapping and focusing on it completly
can someone add subtitles lol?
Not sure if he solved it or just gave up and junked it
Collin Adams he solved it

Seriously funny =) Whilst I can solve a Rubik's cube quickly, I could never do something as awesome as this.
To solve a rubic's cube you have to use algorithms. Algorithms are simply the steps that you need to take to get from point A to point B.
I have a weird fetish for guys that can solve rubik's cubes.
I can solve them too...so I know the dexterity and spartial awareness required.
I love the Harry Potter references he seems to make a lot of those
Rubik's cubes are not about math... Just memorizing algorithms to the point where they are second nature.
Logic, eat your heart out.
Lmao I've seen this in almost every live performance of him. Criticize him and he'll tear you to shreds. Cx
f#cking brilliant.

@TheClutchHero he can move the cube pretty much back and forth like one move away from solving with out anyone really noticing
NO I WANTED TO DO THIS BEFORE SEEING THIS TO ONE OF HIS SONGS
Actually, to solve them really fast you do have to know some match equations or something. My friend was telling me about it and I was like, just put the colors on the same side.
The patterns are called Algorithms! :)
Really speaks to the intelligence of the audience when nobody really laughed untill he made a poop joke.
Beautiful
wow!!! doing the cube while rapping! =D damn, why don't sounds work in comments?! i wanna clap for him!!!
Well the solution to a Rubik's* cube is an algorithm; quickly evaluating the starting point then following the right predetermined sequence of rotations might be an exercise in memory, but it is certainly mathematics at its base.
I will listen to a Bo rap and usually understand a new thing time :)
@bfmvfan4 no, it is a rap and he was solving the rubiks cube while rapping.
whoa i don't think you should joke about that
I’m bo fo sho
"like a tampon thief i had to pull some fuckin strings."
I can solve a cube, but i would fucking choke if i tried to even chew a bubblegum while doing it... This guy is sick :D
It's just certain movements used at the right point to solve it in layers, there is no maths involved at all just problem solving
you probably cant tell from this video but during this rap, Bo was also negotiating foreign relations with China.
what did the heckler say at the beginning?
"I'll mix you up."
"I'll mix you up."
"Whatdidyousay, WHAHDIYOOSAY?!"
Bo is hilarious and that is amazing. I can't even solve a rubiks cube but Bo can in under 3 minutes while raping
I'm pretty sure he was rapping .... That would be even more impressive...
now i know why i always wanted to go to this college
Crazy bo fact... his song “little adolf” is on TH-cam kids.... no bs.
thats fukkin pretty badass i should have brought my flannel son!
Yeah, there's just algorithms, I've memorized them
Still is cool that he did it while rapping, also hello from the future
@boddydaboss - he was trying to keep it on pace to finish right as the rap ended.
haha some guys in the crouds like "haha this guys funny.... shit dude rubics cube just nailed me in the head"
sounds like she said " I'll mix you up "
@jaydoug88 just because its recorded doesn't mean it was done illegally. As long as the venue or the performer doesn't have a problem with it, its perfectly legal
