Can You Solve Rubik’s Cubes While Juggling Them?

Gizmodo AU


I certainly can’t. But this guy can. Sure, there’s not much of an career in in-motion puzzle solving, but still, this is impressive stuff.

You can do all sorts of things with Rubik’s Cubes — right down to solving them quickly, but also including challenging yourself to solve 17×17 cubes or making tables out of them. But juggling them while solving them? Genius.

My hat’s off to David Calvo, although the picky part of my brain wants to see him solving all three; he’s really just juggling two completed cubes while solving another. [Geekosystem]

    An career.

    Rubik’s Cubes never really fascinated me, neither did juggling.

      Yet you felt the need to open this page and read it, then comment that it has no interest to you whatsoever?

        And to point out the fact that there’s a grammatical error in the article.

      If you know anything about solving a cube, you can tell this is not shot in reverse.

    I could never solve a Rubiks cube with TWO hand and my full attention!
    Granted, I haven’t even tried since I was a little kid, but I doubt it’d be any different now. This is an amazing achievement!

    As a cuber and a juggler, I’ll vouch for this achievement. He’s definitely doing it legitimately. Even without juggling the other two cubes, the 40s one-handed solve is a reasonable time. I mean, it’s nowhere near Piotr Tomczyk’s 10.68s one handed world record. But it’s still a solid solve.

    I can juggle and solve one handed. Deff going to try this when I get home. My one handed solves are pretty slow though.
