Yes guys it's 'somewhat' fake. He only does the same turn every single toss so he isn't actually 'solving' the cubes, I figured that out after watching it in slow motion and seeing every cube being solved in around 20 moves. World championships in solving in as few moves as possible with no time limit aren't this good.
+Simon Something Best comment in this thread. People upvote it so it comes out on top. This video is awesome and impressive and I hope it gets tons of views. But in my opinion, the title should be changed and the description box should honestly describe what it is that we are seeing.
I am dumbfounded by the amount of people who think this is legitimate. One simple Google search would show you the world record for solving a Rubik's Cube one handed is 6.88 seconds. At that pace, it would take 20.64 seconds to solve 3 cubes. But this random guy solves 3 in under 20 seconds WHILE JUGGLING?!
As a cuber myself, being able to juggle them is something astonishing, almost like bld solving, because you have to keep in the same orientation(responding to a comment in the replies, this video is obviously faked)
Good point. Here you go: I'm in the top .5% of speedsolvers in the world and I wouldn't be able to solve 3 cubes in under 20 seconds without juggling. Additionally, seeing as how I've never heard of this person and he's never been to a competition, it is extremely unlikely that he's fast enough to do this normally, let alone while juggling. Finally, I know how most methods work to solve the cube, and I could clearly see on the cubes towards the end that he was undoing some sort of algorithm. Doesn't completely prove it, but I think it's pretty strong. :)
At first I thought those were just set up cubes too. When you watch the video frame by frame, you will see a lot of times the layers were turned automagically, and the cube always stay is cube-shape in midair, which is extremely unlikely. These are the reason I think he didn't even solved the cube, and it was done through post-processing. Even with a setup cube, it will be very difficult to do the correct turn in every catch, not to mention doing all three at the same time.
Some funny comments. I didn't reverse the video. I wonder has anybody downloaded and reversed it to see if it looks more or less natural? I imagine it would look super weird played in reverse. Should have moonwalked in at the beginning. That would have confused everyone.
Awesome man!!! People like you amaze me!! Not meaning to sound sarcastic, it truly is amazing what people do, and what you did!! Have a very good life!!
In case anyone is still confused, we did this using Visual Effects. The juggling is real but I can't solve a Rubik's Cube. Watch the making of explanation here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m-urGsFu3Fk.html
Fake. I don't know how, but fake. Explanation: Let's count with a good turn/sec (tps), let's say 5 for easy math. I mean with thinking included, that's not bad. A good speedcuber who can maintain 5 tps can also solve it in around 50 turns in average (speedsolving). That's 10 second's for a standard speedsolve (takes at least a couple of years to get to 10 sec average). Speedsolving 3 cubes one after another would take at least 30 second when concentrating on one at a time, while holding that one with both hands (thinking time between cubes not even counted) with 5 tps 50 turns/cube. See where I'm going? Let's assume he turns 1 (either 90° or 180° counts as 1 turn) every single time a cube gets back to his hand. I counted ~67 turns in total. A speedsolve is usually between 40-60 turns for a good speedsolver. 3 properly scrambled cubes would be *at least* 120 turns. The current Fewest Move Challenge (FMC - competitors have 1 hour to come up with the shortest solving algorithm for a scramble) world record is 24,33 turns, which means that 3 cubes would be AT LEAST 73 turns, keep in mind that with the 24,33 world record THEY HAD 60 MINUTES TO SIT AND THINK AND TRY FOR EVERY SINGLE SCRAMBLE. While this guy casually juggling 3 cubes, solving them simultaneously (it's impossible to track the movement of 3 cubes together in the air and not lose track), concentrating and following the movement of 3 cubes at the same time... Counting with (67turns/18second=) 3,7 tps would be 22,2 turns/cube. Like I said, current WR for FMC is 24,33. The current single world record is 4.9, average is 6.54. He solved 3 cubes in 18 seconds, that's 6 sec/cube. Also kind of impossible while juggling. Like I said, normally you concentrate on 1 cube, holding it steadily in front of you, not throwing it around, especially not 3 at a time. Also, he has never been to an official Rubik's cube competition. Once you get to 1 minute you usually start to go to competitions. If you can solve it in 6 seconds like in this video, you are basically Feliks Zemdegs and every cuber knows your name and you will have at least 40 competitions under your name. Not even mentioning 6 seconds, while juggling, solving 3 simultaneously. Fake. Unless this guy is better in FMC and in regular speedsolving than every single cuber. And not by a bit, like 5 times better, as he is juggling them. But then again, why doesn't he attend competitions? Also, it's impossible to solve a cube both FMC method and speedsolve method at the same time. That would be something like quantum physics and general relativity shaking hands. It's either this or that.
It IS a show after all, but it's a good show. I think it's fair to give a thumbs up. The first time I watched it, I was impressed. That's good enough. First impressions are most important. Props, dude.
Averaging 23 turns for 3 solves, you should attend the next competition for Fewest moves event. You can easily score a world record. Impressive postproduction by the way.
I'm pretty sure it's fake, the end of the solving doesn't look similar to any of the existing methods to solve a Rubik's cube, he also solved them using not more then 25 moves, which is almost impossible unless you know the perfect algorithm for each scamble (it can only be calculated by a computer). This video pisses me off, don't get fooled.
+Nixo NS ikr. As a juggler/cuber, I feel infuriated seeing this fake video. If he'd simply admitted it's a post-processed video(which it is) in the description or in the video, I would have very much enjoyed it and share it with my friends.
+Vic Jang -- Agreed. He's a total dick for not just admitting it's a trick. It's like the Uri Gellers of the world who want to make you think they're physcic when all the honest magicians admit to slight of hand and illusions. This is either post-prod, video in reverse, or pre-configured fake scramble requiring simple turns.
Yeah.. It's most likely post processed. 1. I watched it reversed and cubes are flying out of his hands in the beginning(the end of the original video), so no, not reversed. 2. I checked frame by frame, a lot of the turns happened without his finger turning the cube, the later just turns by itself. 3. As we know it's basically impossible to actually solve a randomly scrambled cube in 23 moves without lookahead, not to mention turning the correct layer in every catch, FOR 3 CUBES when juggling! 4. The background shows the banner of a video postproduction company's name... Well, Rushes has officially become the one and only postproduction company I despise the most.
THe "playing backwards" people actually have no brain. It's just "jumbled" in a less obvious pattern. I want you to try starting a juggle the way he supposedly "starts" it. Not a very efficient throw, is it?
You only show three sides of the two "solved" cubes in your left hand at the end. And you only show three sides of the two "scrambled" cubes in your left hand at the beginning. Care to share why?
From the juggling perspective: People implying that he somehow caught each one exactly right by having each cube turn exactly the right number of turns in flight so he could catch it precisely -- that is not possible given the video I'm seeing here. His pattern is not clean or precise enough for this -- if you watch carefully you can see substantial unintentional variations in the trajectories and catches. He also doesn't have any of the hand movements during the catch that are required to grip the cube an turn it. He's just juggling rubik's cubes in a mills mess formation -- the rest is clearly special effects. It's an interesting video but implying it is real detracts from the person who can actually do this -- Ravi Fernando.
Regardless of whether the cubes were oriented so they have an easy solve, while juggling it's pretty impressive to say the least. I can't juggle, nonetheless juggle and turn the cube at the same time. I appreciate the art lol
It is some impressive cg. What makes me not believe it that instead of looking at the cubes change I am looking at his hands. the cube stays static while in this hand...
