The chunking concept really resonates with me. I have been a speedcuber for years (solving Rubik's Cubes really fast) and I can remember Rubik's Cube solves without much effort. If you gave me the scramble of my personal best solve, I could reproduce the same solution.
In some sense it gives me hope that I can also reach the same level of proficiency in more productive areas.
- Blahah 3y agoCan you explain for those of us who aren't speedcubers what the scramble is? Is it what it sounds like - a number of pseudo-random twists to undo the solve?
- spencerchubb 3y agoTo make an "official" scramble, first they create a random state, which basically means random permutation and random orientation. Then they find a sequence of twists to arrive at the random state. On the contrary, applying random twists will not give you a truly random state. Some states are more likely than others to be achieved when applying random twists.
