Hexahedron Heaven: Rubik’s Cubes Speed Solve in Less than 15 Seconds

LC Cuber cuts through the 43 quintillion possible ways to solve the Rubik’s Cube faster than I can decide where to eat.

43 quintillion (that’s 18 zeros – 43,000,000,000,000,000,000) possibilities but only one correct solution to solve the best selling (and most anxiety-inducing) toy in the world, the Rubik’s Cube. You’d think that with so many possibilities that it would be nearly impossible for anyone to solve, but LC Cuber’s YouTube and Instagram are filled with fast flicking fingers solving this cubed headache in under 15 seconds.

And he doesn’t do it just once – he times each solve and provides weekly compilations of his best times.

We can’t be certain that this is a sign of higher intelligence but studies do show that playing (let alone solving) a Rubik’s Cube can sharpen your problem-solving abilities and improve spatial and pattern recognition.

But don’t feel bad, only 5.8% of the population can solve the puzzle.

LC Cuber may not be the fastest Cuber showing off his impressive daily solves, but he has the most aesthetically pleasing channel conquering the cube.

Check out our favorite solves below.

Guess the 2×2 cube in the top right corner (brand and name)! The first three people with the correct answer wins a shoutout in my next post, one guess each. Good luck! ?#rubikscube #cubeography #rubik #rubiks #speedcube #speedcubing #cubing #photography #cuber #rubix #rubixcube #cubomagico #cuborubik #lccuber #speedcuber #lightake #magiccubemall #guessthecube

What 3×3 method do you use? (2 handed non blind). I’m still not full CFOP. I only know 33 OLLs and 17 PLLs. ? Learning new algs is so boring. ? #rubikscube #cubeography #rubik #rubiks #speedcube #speedcubing #cubing #photography #cuber #rubix #rubixcube #cubomagico #cuborubik #lccuber #speedcuber #lightake #magiccubemall
