Professor’s Cube — SOLVED!

Around 13 days after I bought a Professor’s cube, I have finally solved it.

But don’t expect to see a video of me solving it anytime soon because I don’t think I can do it again. I kinda relied heavily on pure dumb luck in the home stretch.

And about the time? Gee I don’t know. Let’s see, I started solving it around 11:30PM last night. Then I hit a wall around 1:00AM so I decided to go to sleep. I woke up around 6:30AM, dicked around with the cube for about half an hour, then I was like HOLY CRAP HOW DID I DID THAT?!

In many ways, solving the 5×5 cube is a lot easier than solving the 3×3. It’s a lot more intuitive, and since you have more room, you can experiment more with your moves. The final stages however, require that you know how to solve a 3X3.

The best part of this whole experience was that I didn’t use any internet tutorials to solve it. (Actually, I searched and searched for a tutorial on how to solve it, but I couldn’t understand any of them. Because I can’t read.)

So allow me to brag a little. Because I’m insecure like that and I need affirmation:

Because I’ve got nothing to blog

I will entertain you with entertainment! And by “entertainment,” I mean “a video of me solving a rubik’s cube.”

Before we got nuts in assuming that I’m a genius, a couple of things:

  1. I doubled the speed because a 5-minute video would just be ball slappingly boring. For the record, the actual time of the video is 4 minutes and 6 seconds.
  2. I didn’t figure out how to solve the cube all on my own. I had a little help from this guy. But I’ve been solving 1 side of the cube since I was in the 4th grade. That should count for something right?
  3. I have clean fingernails.
  4. I may have been wearing a shirt, but I was naked under the table.
  5. Clutch is the most awesome band ever.
