Swing_n_Speed Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 This guys brain ought to be analysed. Who know's what he mit be capable of? The guy's FB page https://www.facebook.com/ravi12346?viewer_id=1823051557 Sri Lankan?
akshayxyz Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Sorry to hijack the thread, but this is relevant. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d0LfkIut2M]CubeStormer II - YouTube[/ame]
akshayxyz Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Oh really? Maybe you should post a vid of you merely solving it in let's say under a 5 min? No need to juggle or anytin else. :haha: Look around, there are numerous examples of people who could solve under 2 min - within a month or so. I feel sorry for you, if you think you cant match population-average (almost certainly). Note - I already said solving w/o having seen any tricks/tutorial is different challenge altogether.

All talk no show. Just because somebody else with 'tricks' can solve it in two mins doesn't necessarily mean it applies to you. Put up or Shut Up. After-all it was you who made the comment which went something like this 'That just proves solving Rubik's cube is overhyped'
Yoda-esque Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I saw him juggling three objects, then I saw the cube. Reality struck home,I was transfixed.. Only a geek, Only an Indian....
Yoda-esque Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 He might be Sri Lankan, is a math undergrad at Stanford..So apparently not lacking in grey cells And has solved the Rubiks Cube in 7.x seconds
Yoda-esque Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Source:http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/p.php?i=2005FERN01 Solving a rubiks cube in 7 something seconds is tough..am sure hes discovered/invented an algorithm for that
The Outsider Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I cant even solve it in half an hour.the best I have done is 2 sides:(( I was talking about one-two sides in 5-6 minutes :(( I've never solved it, but isn't the way to solve it is by not completely solving one side at a time, and rather as a combination.
PBN Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 I was really excited to get my hand on one of these. Had fun for the first week or two. Then I found out that it is basically recalling a few algorithms and solving based just on that. So it got a bit boring after that and I left it. Anyway, juggling while solving this is quite a skill.

Yoda-esque Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 This one with 4 objects..mesmerizing! S4_D2-4xKVY

After-all it was you who made the comment which went something like this 'That just proves solving Rubik's cube is overhyped' Abey duffer. You dont get the point, do you? I am not trivializing this Ravi guy's skill/mastery. I was talking about solving Rubik cubes in general ( under 2-3 minutes thing). I have seen sufficient evidence to make that statement with high confidence. I do not need to try/show prove every statement I make. e.g. with same degree of confidence I can say - flying commercial airplane is over hyped - does not mean I have to enroll in a 'pilot-ing' course to put up videos of me flying boeings/airbusses for random kids like you - jinke abhi doodh ke daant bhi nahi girey. Something numerous people have been able to do by just one month practice (solving cube in ~2 minutes) - I don't consider that tough - as simple as that. I consider that skill-level challenging which take at least few years to master.
Ram Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Men are famous all over the world for not being able to do more than one thing at a time. How the hell is this guy doing this? :omg:
Yoda-esque Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Tried solving the cube thing yesterday..even with videos and online content,its tough! You need to be completely into this to pull it off properly and consistently. Hats off to those who can solve it!

Just accept that you got owned and move on. Just because this guy can solve the cube while juggling doesn't mean solving it is over-hyped. That claim of yours was not independent of whether this can guy can juggle while solving it or not.
Raghav_12 Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 For long I thought that video is about juggling skills of Sir Ravi :((
Lord Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 For long I thought that video is about juggling skills of Sir Ravi :(( lol really?:giggle:
Aaku Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 LNQ_p-hUfdU eawbQxhTg1k[/youhlkjktube] yes that is kinda hot :agree:
