I try to get a world record. 

Great video! That guy at the start is pretty quick :o

UPDATE: Well... this is awkward. The record this video is based off was absolutely SMASHED by Yusheng Du in China who solved the cube in 3.47 seconds.

This is an awesome video! Often enough we see videos about cubing for people who don't know much about it, but yours was different. The way you presented the information was true to cubing while also making it less daunting (because it really shouldn't be daunting). To be honest, anyone should be able to solve it by watching a tutorial, and getting faster is a super rewarding process.

"Was I the slowest?" "Yes." PROCEEDS TO CHEER

I try to get a world record. PUTS RUBIKS BRAND ON TABLE. speed cubes: am I a joke to you?

No lie, even learning CFOP in a month’s time enough to have a sub 50 solve is something to be proud as hell of! Awesome video.

"I'm not going to be a competitive speedcuber anytime *SUNE* " I see what you did there

"Speedcubing" *Throws a Rubik's brand on the table *seems legit*

I'm 51, and I first solved the cube 40 years ago this month. I never learned the full speed solving methods, and I'm too stuck in my ways to do that now, but my record is 23.8 sec, which I'm happy with. Kudos for getting to talk to the man himself, Erno Rubik!

Sabrina: Was I the worst of the day? Erik (former 7.08 WR for 3x3): Yes. lmao

whoa I really like your comparison of speedcubing turns per second and human reaction time! That's something I haven't seen many speedcubing documentaries talk about, but it actually makes a lot of sense

Feliks: *4.22 WR* Yusheng Du: Hold my beer

Her: “I’m gonna beat the world record of cubing!” *buys rubiks brand* Me: 🥴

I loved this video, I think it’s awesome you decided to join the competition knowing that you likely wouldn’t be able to match the times of other competitors. I always struggle with doing things that I don’t think I will be very good at or the best at because I am afraid to “fail” and people may think less of me. I find it encouraging seeing you participate and then look back and say yeah, I won’t be a competitive speed cuber but the experience and the learning was worthwhile. And I think that was incredibly helpful to hear! Fantastic content as always!

Her: Solving a rubik's cube ISN'T that hard Cubers: *you haven't gone through hell yet*

This is a fantastic video! Thank you for representing the community well. :-)

Aw come on, that wasn't a total failure! It took me two years to get under a minute, and you did it in a month! Please don't give up on it. Keep cubing. I promise that the feeling of getting a good time can never get old. Stick with it and you could be as fast as Feliks

Sabrina: "Speedcubing" Also Sabrina: Puts a Rubik's brand on the table The whole cubing community: Are we a joke to you?

So the live chat closes about 5 minutes after the video ends. I'll keep that in mind. Anyway, do you guys like premieres? I really liked being able to watch it and chat with y'all. (What if the premiere notification went up 30 minutes to an hour before going live, so you don't actually need to wait that long?)

Congrats on 49 seconds! Brings back all those 80's memories. Now I need to watch Donnie Darko.

Getting under a minute a month after starting with a Rubik’s brand Cube is phenomenal. Granted, most people don’t start out with the intention of becoming a speedcuber and the information you did, but that just makes it all better. It means you have the drive and determination to improve. And don’t worry about F2L. We’ve all ben through that. It’ll get faster.

"The rubik's cube isn't that hard, unlike opening this package."

Sabrina!!! Holy crap this video is so awesome. I just finished several months practicing and preparing for, and filming a series of videos almost exactly like this one, except for the Classic Tetris World Championships (I went and competed in Portland last month). I find world competitions for niche sports/skills so fascinating, in that you can see the power of collective human minds and creativity for coming up with innovative new strategies for simple, popular games, and also find really tight-knit, amazing communities. Awesome job putting this all together - it was an incredibly cool and relateable journey to watch.

6:16 yes, that does happen to begin with, we are usually all slower when first using f2l, but with time and pratice you begin to see how much quicker it is. So don't be worried, that happens to most of us to begin with.

1) Don’t use a rubik’s brand 2) Get to WCA comps, not to Red Bull’s

0:53 ALREADY doing it wrong. You never use Rubik's brand.

Feliks Zemdegs: Gets a speedcubing WR Yusheng Du: I'm about to ruin this man's whole career

I used to be a die hard speedcuber. I watched a ton of videos about cubing and I loved to chill out and do some solves. I loved going to competitions that were in my area. I eventually managed to get a sub 20 global average on 3x3, and I stayed there for a long time. I also loved other events, primarily 4x4 and 5x5. But about a year and a half ago, I somehow lost interest. I lost touch with the whole community and I haven't been to a competition since July 2017. Since then, I have been so occupied with everything in my life that I almost forgot about it. This video brought back so many memories. It is insane how different my life was back then. Also, I just noticed that I haven't unlearned it yet. CFOP still feels like instinct to me. I may not be as sharp as I used to be when solving the cube, but I can still do it a few seconds within my peak global average.

As a cuber, imo this is a really nice video that portrays speedcubing in the most accurate and exposed way as possible, the complete opposite of mainstream media

Fun channel, and incredible production quality!

many speedcubers cringed when you used a rubik’s brand

That's actually pretty fast improvement, good job. =) I'm really glad that you called it the *RED BULL* world champs because for any non cubers who don't know the real official Rubik's cube world champs is held every two years by the World Cube Association and that is considered the Real one because they have all the official records and results.

I love that you tried to qualify!! 49 seconds was still such an improvement from your first go! 💚

49 seconds is pretty fucking awesome. I spent 20 minutes getting a side once.

This was a super exciting and motivating video. Completely amazing how you went from not knowing much about the cube, to completely mastering it and qualifying at 49.947 seconds. Sabrina, You Are Absolutely Inspirational. Thank you for that...

Most people say no u but us cubers say Moyu Sorry if this joke took wailong to understand ;)

Wohoo, a recommendation for a channel I've never heard of, about a topic I'm vaguely interested in, that turns out to be really entertaining to watch! On the front page! Way to go, faceless algorithm overlord!

This is so useful to show non-cubers!

"speedcubing" Pulls out Rubik's brand Me: ThAtS iLleGaL

This is actually my favourite kind of content. I like your new video style, it turned out really well! I'm definitely going to check out the mind games, too. It's really cool that you got to meet the inventor of such a popular puzzle! By the way, you have a lovely day as well. =)

I love this video for so many reasons

49 seconds! That's so good! :O I'm still working on getting under 1 min. my avg is about 1:30 currently. Great video!

As a speedcuber, this video was actually fantastic and gave good insight into the hobby. Glad you could join the club!

When i was a freshman, I ended up friends with, at the time, the 7th fastest speed cuber in North America. Watching his hands fire was like watching a surgeon's precision and a cup stacker's dexterity. One day he handed me a skewb and jokingly told me to solve it. Having actually no experience in any puzzle of this nature, it took me 1h25m. He was impressed so he handed me a traditional 3x3. I could have looked up the answers, but i felt that the fun of the puzzle was solving it. I took 3 months, about 20 hours total, studying the movement of the cube and making my own algorithms. In the end, i simplified all movement down to 6 algorithms--in 3 months, 6 very inefficient algorithms. I later solve the algorithms for the pyraminx in 20m and a 2x2 in 4m. I'm not a speed cuber, but with my method I average 48s and 16 seconds on skewb. That feeling of completion and persistence had me realize that after those 20 total hours, I made something that was just mine, and like you are with this video, it is something I am proud of.

"speedcubing" *Does a daisy*

Awesome video! It's always nice to see something about cubing from someone who knows what they're talking about. One thing though: I understand that Red Bull Mindgamers is your sponsor. But could you at least mention, that the WCA exists? Otherwise people new to the subject might think that Red Bull is somehow the governing body of speedcubing.

A long way from sitting in messy room telling jokes. But i knew it would lead somewhere no denying your spark. Good luck with your new style and professionalism. Smashed it.

So very well done. Most people have no clue about cubing -- this engages them at their level in the most fresh and exciting way.

Why is this the only girl I’ve seen doing these kind of vids? She so sweet.

That montage where you were training in speedcubing was so badass, I cannot

It took me almost 3 years to get as fast as you got in one month. When I first saw this video I actually looked at it as a goal. Now I'm averaging around 30s. So I made it. But now I'm working toward sub-20.

The comment count is so low it's like an exclusive club

meanwhile me: *spends weeks trying to solve a rubik cube once and never scramble it again after that because it looks so beautiful now*

This was a really cool video :)

I always wondered how people jump on the bed like that without getting hurt and now I think that whenever anyone does that they do get hurt, but not everyone is willing to admit it.

Great video Sabrina. As an adult who picked up a Rubik’s cube for the first time a few months ago because his nephew “needed help” in fixing his Christmas cube aka I had to learn how to solve the cube. I picked it up and haven’t put it down. However you took cube emersion to an entire new competitive level and I throughly enjoyed watching your journey. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with your channel.

U inspire me to do things I absolutely do not need to do,,,,,,, thank u

How do you just keep on improving your content?! You're amazing! This was such a fun video, thank you so much for putting so much effort into making it

"you just witnessed the fastest time anyone has solved a rubik's cube" Yusheng Du: ima bout to end this mans whole career

7:19 chaotic neutral

yoooo 49 seconds in just 1 month? that's hella impressive!! Also, this is like the best sponsored video i've ever watched so please keep making sponsored videos XD

1. Don’t go to the redbull comps , go to WCA 2. DONT USE RUBIKS BRAND 3. Make sure to breath

I thought the Rubik’s cube was older. Genuinely surprised to find out that the inventor of it is still alive.

10:02 . When you just steal all the rubiks cubes they gave u at the competition xD

**Slams rubiks brand** Her:speed cubing

Been here since the begining, love to see you grow and check off things that are on my own bucket list

The level of quality from this channel is amazing

You did it in 50 seconds. I never solved a cube without taking it apart first ever in my life. You're doing great.

"Speedcubing" *Takes a Rubik's brand*

Sabrina: I love the videos I make with this sponsor Sabrina: I MET THE GUY WHO CREATED THE RUBIKS CUBE Me: YOU MET THE GREATEST SPEEDCUBER OF ALL-TIME FELIKS ZEMDEGS

Speed cubing sounds like something I'd do on saturday night before I turn up for a rager.

When I looked at the title I was like, oh cool a world record thing, I guess I'll watch this. When I notice it's about cubing, WAIT THIS IS ABOUT CUBING OMG MOM GET THE CAMERA

*My uncle used to solve Rubics cubes by peeling the stickers off, and re-arranging them* 😂😂😂

When I got my first Rubik's in the mid-80s, I had no method. I just.... messed with it periodically until it was solved. It took FOREVER.

I love the way this channel edits and puts together videos but damn it feels so impressive that they managed to get Mr Rubik himself to be in this video

“Speed cubing” “Throws a rubiks brand” Me:impossible!

A 50 second solve, in any group of normies, would be SO impressive. And yet here Sabrina describes it as "an overwhelming failure". Engrossing yourself in a hobby can really change your outlook.

Me: does reaction time test Test: avarage 404 m seconds Me: my phone to slow

"That's not the worst in the world!" "So was I the slowest person of the day?" "Yes." Oof 😂

she says "a few more algorithms for cfop" f2l with over 100 algorithms: hold my beer

Your videos are so well executed and interesting, you deserve WAY MORE SUBS

World record was already broken. New time is sub 4 seconds.

Sabrina being able to do a rubix cube period and saying she side it slowly meanwhile if I can do one at all I'm practically feeling like a queen for the rest of the day.

Sabrina: gets a world record at a redbull compitition (World records don't count unless they are set at a wca compitition) Sabrina: why does it not count?

"imma take a nap, and I'm gonna take that risk"

I saw this video around when yor channel was at 5K or so subs (when the channel name was still "Sabrina"). Crazy to see how much your channel has grown. This video is still so good even after 3 years.

Nobody: Speedcubers: Can we introduce ourselves?

*Puts rubiks cube on table* Me: Oh boy, this isn't going to go well

It is worth mentioning that many people have definitely achieved better times than the world record mentioned in the video but the solve must be in competition to be recognized as the record. Amazing video btw!

Your first error is buying a literal rubik's cube lol, those shit are really bad. Gotta buy a cube from a Mongolian salesman for +20 in speed

Omg how come i just found this chanel now its amazing im watching everything

I love your confidence in you waking up in time I wish I had that

4:35 the time could change depending on the type of monitor you have. if you use a 60hz monitor, you could be a bit quicker with a 240hz monitor.

There is a math-y Rubik's cube that has numbers in place of colors, and each surface is a number sequence of some sort. Give it a try, and see how long it takes you to figure out how to rotate the middles.

Okay , definetly one of the best new youtube channels out there! Great!

Title: I try to get a world record Speed cube: Am I a joke to you? Rubik’s cube: Yes, yes you are

I love how this video has comedy, and it is informational at the same time! Love it

And then you realise she's way better RU-vidr than most other dudes buying cars and stuff. No unimportant BS and very spontaneous

Me: enters early The referees: sir, we have been closed for 6 hours, HOW HAS IT TAKEN OVER 11 HOURS TO SOLVE THIS?!

You're that girl that made those science videos that I used to watch in 6 grade
