    I have become an accidental introvert in my 50’s, having solved the cube at very young age without instruction, hearing impaired-no asl. Thank you Erno Rubik, my life is starting to make sense! It’s about the HOW. Not speed or memorization. The skill is practical yet the personal applications to real life scenarios has been quite challenging. Woah what a journey!💛🕊

  • @TearyEyesAnderson
    @TearyEyesAnderson Před 15 lety +5

    A great interview, the best I've seen he actually gets a chance to talk rather then just answer time restrained questions. More interviews should be handled this way by others, and sharing them on CZcams is also a great way to share the interviews with the fans and to get that persons thoughts out to more people, and in turn makes the viewers want to watch more of your interviews. Great job!!!

    @maxdecphoenix Před 5 lety +2

    I can't imagine he was that impressed with himself when he first 'solved' it. I doubt it was even a question of possibility. The thing is manufactured solved. So he knew it was entirely possible. Sort of how a puzzle starts out as a complete picture, and only then is it cut and randomized. He manufactured a solved cube then just noted his moves to jumble it up, then reversed it.

    • @GeometryDashProgam3r
      @GeometryDashProgam3r Před 5 lety +1

      maxdecphoenix he didn't note what moves he did to solve it, meaning that he brute-forced a method into existence in only s month

      Yaboi GD i mean tony fisher made a method in 3 days so it isn’t that hard

    • @Gadget-Walkmen
      @Gadget-Walkmen Před 2 lety

      @@genericusername4206 what your saying is nonsense and taking things out of context. Tony fisher came out AFTER the cube was invented and he used that as a baseline, this whole idea that he “came unless with a method in 3 days” isn’t true as he knew the cube’s existence for a LONG while than that for him to make other versions of it, so yes it IS that hard to make one and to solve it. It’s easier now a days to solve it because people now have a lot of help and reference, but Erno had to create a puzzle from scratch that he knew was already mathematically possible to solve which no one has done before with a cube that functions like a toy.
      That’s a MASSIVE difference between whatever Tony fisher has done as he had many puzzles down the line to use as reference. Their not comparable at all and it IS that hard to come with the Cube and for most people to solve it this day.

    I knew it! He found it out it in reverse! :) My point is, you dont need to know principles of solving the cube to discover it. Make the rotating joint mechanism and then paint the sides. First you have the result and then the probblem is automaticly generating itself. It is right because once it was in the right position. Cha! Love that attitude! Rubik rulez :)

    When I searched online for information about how long it took Erno Rubik to solve the Rubik's cube, I found that it took him one month. But here he obviously states that it took him a couple of months (which means at least 2-3 months). You can see that at 1:40.

It is not fare to inspire from tutorials, at least if you think at the man from England who has struggled about 24 years to solve it. I think that he is verry prout for this performance, because he has solvedit by himself!
