- This is a 25 minute video with the highlights of the 1st Rubik's Cube World Championship, held in June 1982 in Budapest.
Unfortunately the quality is not very good.
Thanks to Pellepennan Aspelin for sending me the original video cassette!

Fun fact: most of these guys learned their tricks on cubes with the "japanese color scheme" where blue is opposite white. However all the cubes in this competition had the modern color scheme where yellow is opposite white, meaning there's a fair chance a faster time could've been had if they were more used to the color scheme
They were also given new unbroken unmmoded cubes instead of theirs and if a cube popped in two solves in a row they'd be disqualified.
@@1312_PV yeah rules kinda sucked back then
Amazing how much speed cubing has changed.
The amount of rotations alone... they constantly were looking around the cube and performing rotations decades ago.
I love seeing these things to understand just how far we've come and all we've learned.
And I'm still no where close to these times yet, and I have the luxury of using modern cubes designed for speed, with magnets and all that jazz. These people were going at it on the rough original Rubik's branded cubes. That alone is insane!
but understand that these are the best in the world back then so if they were transported with their skills to our modern equipment they would with practice be right around the wr as well. i solve a little faster than they do in the video but if I try to do the same thing they are doing i would be around 1 minute.
0:51 "mr rubik and his cubic"
Oh man. We've come a long way since that, huh
Imagine Felix Zemdegs travel to the past and join this competition
but the cubes were absolute dog shit
@@cardd and they hadn't such great methods
They be calling NASA and Scientists to inspect Feliks.
@@cardd yes
@@michalyakcm4800 lol
They got Mr. Rubiks for the referee of World Rubiks Championship! What a day.
He was the only delegate back then
Couldn't help but notice the names Fridrich and Petrus were in this championship. They would each go on to have solving methods named after them (I think most speedcubers are familiar with the Fridrich method). Pretty interesting that they were both competing in this event.
fact check fridrich method is CFOP right?
@@PinGotStolen Yes today most of us call the Fridrich method CFOP
@@PinGotStolen It is indeed!
@@_chaitanyajoshi Thnx
@@sanseverything900 thank you!
15:00 for the world record
lol thx
Sub20 was possible but yeah!
Thanks
the fact it was mostly wrist turns and the cubes couldn't corner cut makes it impressive
@@Ravalo354 And The Method* ITS really really impressive
I was supposedly going to study, but i need to see this
I don't regret it
Same here

The last Bye bye for 21 years…
In 2003 we said hello again to speedcubing and in 2004 the return was here to stay. Thank you Ron for the WCA. We love you and your idea.
Now I know why I learned swedish. :-)
I also started cubing in the 1980s, but it took me 36 years to become faster than Minh Thai. :-)
Ich hab nicht gedacht dass ich dich hier finde
after 36 years, you get faster than minh thai's 22.95?
took me roughly 1 year to be faster
ah yes, “Study the cube for 15 seconds”
24:33 they never had the championship again 😔
Quality was VHS quality with CC's in Swedish, but at least it's good enough to see what Petrus and Schultz are doing in slow mo.
Damn that is some good grafic. My tablet can barely show 3 by 3 pixels man
Delegates now: 8 seconds, 12 seconds (damn this guy is inspecting forever)
Delegates 1982: He doesn’t even want the full 15 seconds! 🕵️♂️ 🧐 He only wants 10 how incredibly remarkable, he’s a genius!😮 🤔
A lot of these people are in their 60s now :/
They get 29 seconds on average but I get 47 seconds on average with CFOP
i get like 47 seconds on f2l alone but im still pretty new so hopefully those numbers go down
It's going down I'm begin cfop before 10
Monts by a minute and now I'm sub 15 secnds
Im getting 42 second average with beginner method
@@cornwithak i have average 1:31 seconds with cfop
It’s been 40 years since!!!
WCA should’ve kept the life story reading that the dude was doing for every contestant
They sometimes do it while the participants are being called up but it would be so god damn distracting if people were talking about you over a live speaker while you were trying to solve.
Mr. van Bruchem, congratulations
Thought the sign said Rubix cube worshiping 1982 for a second
They have no fingertricks, but they're fast.
They can’t fingertrick, the cubes are too bad
@@yat_ii ah yes.
@@yat_ii some people from what I’ve seen did finger tricks in other unofficial competitions, but most used wrist turns
I guarantee you no one in this room would believe me if i told them 32 years from now there will be a 10 year old kid who solves the cube in under 4.5 seconds ON AVERAGE
nice 😊
I dreaming about this Rubik's competition and it's took place in Belgia, i thought is was just in my dream and when i search about it It's real 😳. I never heard about this competiton before
Then why not go compete in a cube competition I plan on doing so myself
A more wholesome time.
No, moro n
Man, those days it was so formal, we even had lawyers and juries and sealed cubes.
I see the inspection time was still 15 seconds.
why dont we have these intros these days
i typically get a 25 second average .. about the same as the competitors
this took place at least 38 years ago.... holy hell
40 years now.🧓
Anyone know what method they were using? There weren't a lot of pauses just lots of extra movements.
Here is some information on the World Championship 1982, the competitors and their methods: www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/cubic3.htm
Corner's First
+IanAC yeah
RobotikEmpire I don't know about all of them but corners first was most popular in the 80s.
RobotikEmpire they peel of the stickers xD
it would be amaizing to change a perfect cube change it to a pattern mixed up....do you understand?
he's doing fingertricks :0
My mother wasn’t even born when this was aired 😂.
my mother was 2 years old 😂
I love how this dude is still better than me.
HOLA Me suscribo saludos desde Colombia
times when 2 weeks was fast...
What is the song at the end?

17:05 Lars Petrus
What is this song
24:40 Outro
Rubik's cube world champion Budapest 1982
(1982-2003) 0:01
The guys are like “10 MINUTES A NEW RECORD”
10 minutes? Are you officially dumb?
15:29 We’ve come for this
my dad is born in 1982 Jul 22
Is that the Lars Petrus who invented Petrus and several other method or subset?
no that's a vietnamese dude
Yes, it is...I think Frozed missunderstod the question. Lars have his own webpage that describes his method. lar5.com/cube/
Someone tell me what is the original rubiks cube to buy
Dont bay rubiks own brand. They are shit and over priced. Buy a speed cube.
Buy a original Rubics Speed Cube from Amazone 👍🏼 This is a good cube
Damnn
apparently USA only has 15 states in 1982.
Daaaaaamn a good time to compete
Good luck using the cubes back then.
@@scottschoppert9149 I've been cubing since 2000, trust me....i know about the quality
Funny how the required a lawyer and a sealed case for the scrambles, lmao.
Where the referee come from great britain has 4 countries north ireland wales scotland or england
Study the cube :) Inspecting
wonder what method they use
www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/cubic3.htm
Corner first was a popular method back then, so its probably that
I am seen 2024 yo
1:23:00 is the first wr
that intro song sounded like something from willy wonka
15:27 Minh Thai (22.95) World Record
No way this video is in swedish 😂 I never hear my languege in mainstream media
15:29 minh thai 22.95
15:50
Set english translate and start at begining
dat referee lol
Yo
That German had DNF
HOW DARE THEY TURN THE CUBE WITHOUT FINGER TRICKS.
Modern day finger tricks doesn't work. Those cubes are absolutely rubbish compared to what we have nowadays. The cubes cant even corner cut.
Vietnam mindful
But is go to USA to live (after war)
cf method
Is it only me, or is the first competitor is somewhat a showoff lier
I love Minh Thai
We now use more better cubes and now with my gan i average 25 secodns and some. Guys with trash cubes are near my time ;-;
What is the method
Corner first was a popular method back then, so it probably that
Viet Nam
Unbelievable 14 seconds.
Even I can beat that. Yeet
Not with one of those old cubes lol
Bro the yeet sent me
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodso5608On a yeet ball?
23:23 United States of America Wins!!!!
A lot of re gripping
