it’s just… 2 sided pll recognition and anyone who knows it would instantly see that it’s an impossible case (except if it was in the one corner you can’t see)
@@someone-gm7oj ok yeah i guess it is impressive that he got to pll in 7 seconds (although a lot of people can do that (not me yet tho, so)), but the way he said it was just, idk, just wanted to say that that’s just how it works also i just tried it out and it looks like a normal pll from every side, but every side looks like a different pll lol edit: oh nvm i forgot that he swapped the stickers of one corner, not 2 edges, lemme retry edit2: ok it only looks not like a pll when you’re facing the wrong piece, but from the other 3 sides it again just looks like a different pll everytime (ok not always, sometimes the 3rd side also looks a bit off) oh righttt and when you solve with any other color on the bottom, then very weird things will happen ight srry for all the yapping guys, but there was a lot to say ok
@@twoface898He gets it. He's just pointing out the fact he didn't doubt himself but rather the cube. Though, any cubers can recognise it was rigged because they memorize the algorithm.
@@mjaTanimno, honestly most people can recognize that it was unsolvable by that step. Once you get to a step where the last face is solved, there are only like 28 possible configurations, so u just know it’s not solvable
@@unprecedentedrolemodel2606 I mean when only 2 squares have been switched it’s nearly impossible to tell if it’s solvable without going through the steps. But HAHAHAHHABA Asian stereotypes, you’re so clever and funny.
@@Ronny77 wrong. Beginner would not notice it that quickly if at all. Especially if it’s all scrambled up a beginner would take a lot longer to try and solve it and only then would they realize
@@MyChevySonic I kind of tried once or twice but as a teenage girl wasn't able to get it. Haven't tried since tbh. Solved cube by myself just once in my life, totally by accident but till this day I am proud of that achievement lol 😆 You are been kind, can not deny it kind of give that spark to try again. Thanks
@@Anonymous-8080 mean that I was playing with it all day long trying to solve it, when suddenly I simply did. I was so excited I didn't wanted to touch my cube anymore because I was scared I will be never able to do it again. XD
@@KainisDarc You can't solve a Rubik's cube by accident. You either solved it by actually thinking about it and using logic or you're remembering it incorrectly. You couldn't have just turned it randomly.
It’s really not. The only reason it took so long was because he started opposite the messed up corner. The way he messed with the corners would have been noticed without even doing any moves if it happened to be on the side he started on
@@gusneverdied anyone who can solve a Rubik’s cube would be able to tell that this cube is unsolvable in less time than it takes them to solve it in the first place. In my case ~25 seconds, which is slower than Felix, because it’s not a separate skill to just solving the cube.
@@cowhorse4146 he was every quick with it though. Any1 could count it from literally making 0 moves by seeing where the corner pieces would have to go, and if it takes an odd number of moves in total for all the corners, its impossible, as when you move 1 corner, you have to move another 1 as well, there is no algorithm for only 1 corner move, so if it doesnt have an even amount of moves its an impossible state without moving stickers. You dont have to solve the corners, you just have to assume a 1 of them is in the correct place and how many moves you would need to move the other corners to the places they now would have to be in when u assume 1 corner is right. Moving any of the other corners is no problem, just count it like your only objective would be to get that 1 corner in the one corner in correct orientation. The way he saw it wasnt the simple way, but he most likely just went by recognizing the algorithm its supposed to be like normal but realizing its none of them, and it happened in less than 2 seconds. Most cubers would just think they are forgetting one of them even if they are using way more simplified algorithms compared to felix.
@@floriankittinger honestly I dont see it as a problem so far, keeps my nails tidy I guess aswell as somewhat intaking small amounts of bacteria to keep my immune system active and strong, only downside is not having nails but its been ok so far
I love how he still tries to finish it, that the two time world champion mindset. I remember following his career many years ago. He was so insane for his time
If you learn the beginner method, you can solve a cube in maybe 1 to 2 minutes. If two/three colors were swapped, you would figure it out very quickly. Buy a cube, look up a tutorial on how to solve it on RU-vid, practice for an hour or two every night - you'll be able to solve it after 2 or 3 nights.
@@djulianofficial You can solve a cube easily following a tutorial, but memorizing the algorythms takes a bit more time. I feel everyone should follow a tutorial at the very least. Even solving it via tutorial once dispels the myth that one has to be a genius to solve one.
Noone thinks about that its even more impressive because he managed to not get irritated by the false colors and even could tell which ones were switched, after he realized it?
Omg, every cuber knows there are unsolvable cube configurations. Feliks recognized the unsolvability at the latest at the PLL-stage - he didn't fail, at all. His reaction "Can't do it" is just his well-known modesty. Btw, swapping just 2 corners yields a cube that can't be solved (by regular turning of layers). Then the cube is not in the solvable group (--> group theory, a part of abstract algebra). Likewise, if you swap the 2 "stickers" like in the video, the cube isn't (optically) solvable, because now there is a corner piece that doesn't even exist on sticker-less cubes: It's a mirror of the "real" corner piece (--> chirality).
If he picked the right color, you can tell in a few seconds. It's actually pretty simple. Anyone who knows how to solve a cube can tell. The key is the center colors don't move respective to each other.
