This is too much for a human. It may be that there was another computer screen not shown on video, displaying particular steps to perform. Not saying I think it's fake, but the supposed proof video does not actually prove anything.

It's really not. It's just hard.

  I know people can remember things sequentially really well with practice... maybe patterns are easy to remember? I'm skeptical but also have no authority on memorization or rubiks cubes... I've also seen crazier things lol

    As long as you can get them into muscle memory, they're literally hard to forget. I stopped cubing for 4 years, every algorithm was exactly where I left it mentally.

  Only one person has done it. That's beyond "hard" and into "you need a very unique type of brain", imo. Many other people have tried it and failed.

    Speedcubing is extremely communal. Once the 6-second barrier was broken, 3 other people did it the same day. It's a mind game, and I'll bet we'll see another person who does this within a year.

      Interesting. Maybe it was a psychological barrier like you say. Certainly it's easier to motivate yourself to do something if someone else has provably done it!

        Exactly. I'm a very casual cuber, but I've broken a few former world records at home. No current ones, though.

Might be military grade autism. You are great at speedcubing, but best case scenario cant relate to holidays or having lunch etc.

Consider, from someone who knows speedcubing, that it’s not 3,000+ random algorithms, more like a decision tree of algorithms. Many are similar and related; many are rotated or mirrored. Long practice and pattern recognition make most algorithm selection second-nature. Yes, there’s a ton of memorization involved, but the limited problem domain, and therefore easy mental modeling of it, make this exactly the kind of task at which humans excel. Professional chess and go players can replay many, sometimes all, of their past games from memory. Surely that’s a greater feat.

  Agreed, it seems in the ballpark of what a well-prepared 2400 (which is to say, very good, but not close to enough to make a living from playing, never mind world class) chess player might know in terms of opening theory.
