You are dumb the title of the wired video is “Why it’s almost impossible to solve a Rubik’s cub in under 3 seconds” you should’ve read the title of the video before typing this unfunny comment
I have to say I really liked the frame by frame part as well. It’s cool to see the slow recon, but seeing the frame by frame really puts it in perspective. Nice job
I'm amazed and thankful that decent footage even exists of this solve to allow for recon and verification. There must also be so many eyes on Ruihang at this point if someone was filming them (though it might just well be the people they went with). Just amazing.
Woah, he's so lucky, actually he did do cross in about 0.9s and there're 4 F2L things already. Next thing is, he did OLL in about 1s and skipped PLL. His hand is kinda fast tho. P/s:Been watching 0.25x slower.
When the first people started cubing (with Rubik's prototype), nobody even knew if there would always be a solution for every scramble. Imagine how long the first solve in history must have taken!
This solve could've been like 1.4 - 1.5 secs if he recognized the skip. That's where I think world records for cubing end. I think the real physical limit for the fastest time to solve a rubik's cube is 1.3 seconds
Question on the Friedrich method: What is the probability after the OLL "Roosters" of falling out of the same PLL, for example, "Sledge". According to mathematical laws, the same PLL should always fall out after the same OLL. Have such statistics been conducted? Or do completely different PLLs always fall out after the same OLL ?
I think it is high time scramble standards are introduced. Yes, Ruihang Xu is an awesome cuber, no doubt. However, the common thread with all these super fast solves is actually the scramble being such that it is even possible. Any of the top cubers would have likely done a sub 3 second solve on that scramble, so how meaningful, as an individual achievement is this time really? Or is it really just being the lucky one out of the worlds top cubers to get that scramble? There is a mathematical measure known as the measure of disorder. That is, a calculation of the degree to which a scramble is not only disordered with respect to the solved configuration, but also with respect to the pieces in relation to each other once scrambled. The problem is that we are looking only at the degree of disorder with respect to the solved position and not with respect to the scrambled position. That is to say that a scramble that lines up all F2L pairs for you, can in theory have those pairs located on the scrambled cube such that it is maximally disordered with respect to a solved cube. This the pieces are not disordered with each other, therefore making an easy solve. Computationally, it is not that difficult to produce scrambles that are maximally disordered both with respect to the solved state and within the scrambled state. So, the lack of ensuring that competition level scrambles are optimally scrambled, suggests that the world cubing organisations are motivated to maintain level of excitement and hype and momentum created by ever lower 3x3 times, and going to an optimal scramble model would be a massive setback to the now multi-million dollar industry, and great consternation to record keepers and competition organisers. However, if this change is not made, the credibility of the achievements of cubers will gradually erode as people increasingly attribute these amazing times to the poor quality of the scrambling algorithms, rather than the personal achievements of the cubers. Ultimately, this could lead to a lose of confidence in the legitimacy of cubing competitions from both participants and the general public. So, for all cubers out there, please consider putting pressure on the world cubing association to reform the scrambling methodology before its too late. Thanks for reading this.

i was literally looking for recons of this solve 20 mins ago wow
Hey Bryce
@@CubingTube oh high wassup
I finally hit sub 10 seconds and now realize 3 seconds is the new norm
Actually 3 seconds isnt the new norm, the world record average is 5 seconds
I like how you pronounce Xu Ruihang's name exactly how it actually should be pronounced
Woah, he's so lucky, actually he did do cross in about 0.9s and there're 4 F2L things already. Next thing is, he did OLL in about 1s and skipped PLL.
His hand is kinda fast tho.
P/s:Been watching 0.25x slower.
This has got to be the easiest scramble of all time. I average 15 seconds and got a 7 on this scramble
Eh cross is a bit weird
Congrats on 100k, Lazer!
Ayyy congrats on 100k subs!!!!
Ruihang with Tymon's effeciency and Jabari's knowledge of algs is god mode
When I saw the thumbnail I was like. HUH??!!
When i saw that 2.68 i was like. A new version cube??
2.68 was the time 😑
Lol
so you're telling me that his 2.68 solve could literally have been faster... my god.
I stop cubing for a year and thing much has changed, I’m impressed
WOW Congrats!!
That’s amazing!
Leo borromeo, ruihang, matty hinaba, yiheng wang are the future of speedcubing
How this guy nailed the pronounciation of of Xu is just incredible
I have watched this video multiple times because the cube looks amazing
Ruihang’s tps is faster then my internet connection
😁
this is absolutely INSANE
Definitely going way to fast to recognize the winter variation, but damn imagine if he had
Sub 2 lol
Congratulations on 100k subs!
Wired: solving a cube under 3 seconds is almost impossible
Ruihang xu: *Well let's see about that*
Its more like:
Ruihang Xu: *hold my beer*
This is the 3x3 world record!
Ytwr
Ruihang Xu is a genius
you dont actually need to be a genius to solve a rubik's cube. all you really need is a decent memory and fast reaction time
@@this_account_is_dead Solving a cube and being as fast as Ruihang are two completely different things
0:02 "Chiquita" 😈👌🏽
The funniest thing is the kid looks like he's just chilling while solving it in 2 seconds 😂
Ruihang Xu will be next WR holder for 3x3x3. I'm calling it. His TPS is crazy fast. He just have to work on efficiency.
@@justaregularhumanbeing doesn't have the 3x3 single wr yet, he has the 3x3 average wr
this guy did a whole solve faster than I can execute Na perm
Everytime I think we have reached the pinnacle of the records, a new one shows up
People who get quick solves really get the lucky scrambles
Keep up the great work
0:51 already turning at world record pace
Feliks Zemdegs: No one can beat me
When Ruihang Xu walks in the room: Why do I hear boss music?
If he inserted the last 2 pairs the other way around, he would've had an OLL skip + U perm from the back, either way it was an amazingly fast solve
That was fantastic!
WOW!!! 100k subs
Wow!!!!! Uwe Meffert just invented the pyraminx!!!
@@dylancossin huh
I don't know why but I love your fingertricks lol
The start of chinese domination
Omg, that scramble is suspecious...idk
Thanks for video!
I see 2.68, I click
Congratulations Lazer0Monkey on 100k subs!
When I started cubing Matt Valk's 5.55 was 🔥🔥🔥🙃😂😂😂
When I started cubing, beating Erik's 7.08 was unimaginable...
When the first people started cubing (with Rubik's prototype), nobody even knew if there would always be a solution for every scramble. Imagine how long the first solve in history must have taken!
Fantastic pronunciation of the name there, he didn't make the words all have a flat tone like people normally do
This solve could've been like 1.4 - 1.5 secs if he recognized the skip. That's where I think world records for cubing end. I think the real physical limit for the fastest time to solve a rubik's cube is 1.3 seconds
WOW, HE IS AMAZING
Bought my first speed cube 3 weeks ago. My best solve is 2 mins and I’m trying to memorize those oll algorithms. I’m 38 btw 😂
Try learning 2look OLL first
If at this point you’re any faster, you should try learning more efficient f2l cases, as this improves your times much better than full OLL.
Damn crazy solve
He rotated faster than me doing half a turn.
100k subs congrats!
Is no one gonna talk about how this guy has 100K subs?
Congrats man! 🥳
Is anyone going to talk about how Erno Rubik invented the Rubik’s cube
true
@@dylancossin yes
This changes everything
Might be the easiest scramble in history. only had to unpair 1 pair then last layer skip lol.

@Agustin Clemente Ochoa it clearly shows a completely different scramble on the timing app.

Everyone waited for this moment for their whole lives
wtf imagine if he cancelled
Could have been like 2.2 or lower

Could have been like 0.98 or something
100k subs gg philip!
This is way too much for my newbie sub -13 mind to process
Lets all just appreciate that a kid did this
The next cubing competition will have so many records
Ayo what, u pronounced the name perfectly sheeesh
That's incredible. 2.8 second. Felix Zemdegs has a record of 3.47 second I guess. But him almost 2 second. Wow
its fake
felix zemdegs does not have a 3.47
Yusheng Du does
Wow so amazing ❤️
I forgot to say: congratulations to 100 thousand subscribers!!
and he has the wr now
100K, congrats!
I just bought my first cube and it boggles my mind that people can do this. I haven’t solved it yet and I’ve been working on it for 2-3 hours.
Waited for this :D.
Wired be like: „Why it’s almost impossible to solve a cube in under 2 seconds“
One year later : a guy (hm 1001% Chinese) solved a cube in 1 seconds
the Chinese pronunciation though.... lol that was so accurate
Congrats on 100k

He solved the rubiks cube faster than i could say his name
Xu Ruihang has been pronounced well
