Two Guys Solve Five Rubik’s Cubes While Juggling

Posted on by

There are nerds and then there are NERDS. These nerds are some kind of super-nerd wizards with amazing powers. They are out-nerding all of the nerdiest nerds. The proof is in the video below, in which Ravi Fernando and Nick Thomas solve five Rubik’s Cubes while juggling. I see great potential for a nerd circus to evolve from this act… and I want to be the ringleader.

Watch as these guys each solve cubes one-handed while passing three more cubes with their other hand. Marvel as they finish each cube, then switch it out and start the next one. Step right up and see this amazing feat of geek! For their next act, they will perform a daring Star Wars vs. Star Trek debate, while solving and juggling ten Rubik’s Cubes as William Shatner and Mark Hamill also debate standing between them! It’s gonna be a great show. Call me guys, we can set this up. I’ll only take 10% of the ticket sales.

These guys are way more talented than I will ever be at both solving Rubik’s Cubes and juggling. They have a real future in all kinds of puzzle solving sports.

Rubik’s Candy Cube Comes Pre-Solved

Posted on by

Do you like puzzles? Well you won’t have any fun solving this one, because not only does this Rubik’s Cube come solved straight from the factory, it’s not really a puzzle at all. But there is one good thing about this version of the classic ’80s puzzler. It’s filled with candy.

I suppose you could turn the top part of this tin cube to one of its four possible positions, but that’s not much of a challenge now, is it? Boston America might have missed the mark by not actually providing a functional puzzle cube here, but they’ve done right by packing it with delicious and colorful fruit sours, so at least you can get your sugar fix.

You can grab the Rubik’s Candy Cube from Economy Candy for $2.80(USD) per tin, or $33.60 for a 12-pack.

Building The World’s Largest Rubik’s Cube

Posted on by

When I was a kid, people who could solve a Rubik’s Cube were a rare thing. Nowadays, there are entire leagues dedicated to solving them as quickly as possible, and even guys who can solve them while wakesurfing or juggling. All of those things would be much more difficult when played out on this giant-size Rubik’s Cube.

Woodworker Kyle Toth was recently commissioned to build what appears to be the world’s largest Rubik’s Cube for the Tanz Summer Festival in Cleveland, Ohio. The puzzle measures in a 7 feet-tall, and over 5 feet-wide, and was built from plywood with lazy susan style turntables to make it spin easily.

While each layer of the cube can spin horizontally like the real puzzle, it can’t rotate on the vertical axis. For that, you’ll have to try Tony Fisher’s cube, which is just a hair smaller, but is fully functional.

Guy Solves Rubik’s Cube While Waterskiing, No Big Deal

Posted on by

I have a hard time solving a Rubik’s Cube while sitting on my couch at home, but some brainiacs can not only do it fast, but they can do it while being daredevils.


Take, for instance, juggler and magician Joey Fratelli, who recently created a very cool POV video where he successfully solves a Rubik’s Cube while waterskiing across a lake. Using just one hand no less. That’s just showing off. And making the rest of us look bad when it comes to solving the iconic ’80s puzzle.

Sure, you can solve it while waterskiing, but how about with sharks jumping all around you? I bet you can’t do that, Joey. Yeah, that’s what I thought.

You Need Tweezers to Solve the World’s Smallest Rubik’s Cube

Posted on by

You better get your magnifying glass and some tweezers to solve this Rubik’s Cube. Puzzle maker Tony Fisher had previously built the world’s largest Rubik’s Cube, and now it looks like he’s built the world’s smallest Rubik’s Cube. How about something in between Tony. Oh.

This tiny little puzzle cube measures just 5.6mm (~ 7/32″) across, and it’s fully functional. This nano-cube has to be solved with a pair of tweezers. That is if your pet hasn’t eaten it already.

Until a bunch of nerd scientists make one out of nano-particles that can only be played under an electron microscope, this one will remain the smallest. You know that will happen too. Scientists love doing stuff like this while they should be working to better mankind. At least you can still hold this one in your hands.

The Only Solution to These Rubik’s Cubes Cakes is to Get in My Stomach

Posted on by

Check out these awesome cubic cakes created by French chef Cédric Grolet. This is exactly what a rich person’s Rubik’s Cube looks like when they want to eat one.


Grolet was rated the best pastry chef in 2016 by the Relais Desserts Association, so he clearly knows what he’s doing. These cakes are basically just a bunch of small, cube-shaped cakes put together, but that’s okay. Here, presentation is everything. Forget trying to complete the puzzle and match all of the colors. Just eat each little cube up and enjoy.


The real puzzle would be to eat each of these little cubes whole and then solve the puzzle in your stomach. Hey, it all turns brown in the end so… Solved!

Stop-motion Mario Made with Rubik’s Cubes

Two of the most frustrating things that I played growing up were Super Mario Bros. and the Rubik’s Cube. As a kid in the ’80s you were guaranteed to get at least one Rubik’s Cube each Christmas or birthday. I always resorted to pulling the stickers off because only some kid on That’s Incredible could actually solve that thing back in the day. I was always frustrated by Super Mario Bros. on the Nintendo because I could never beat the game. I’m still pretty sure it cheated on those higher levels.

Some geeks have combined Super Mario and the Rubik’s Cube into a cool stop-motion animation video that’s as ’80s as it gets.

The guys from Japanese juggling troupe Synchronicity must have spent a whole lot of time putting this together, even if they pulled the stickers off the cubes like I used to.

Guy Makes ‘Impossible’ 1x5x5 Rubik’s Cube Puzzle

Posted on by

This Rubik’s Cube style puzzle will blow your mind. Puzzle maker Tony Fisher has created this “impossible” 1x5x5 Rubik’s cube style cuboid puzzle, and it’s so cool.

rubiks_cube_1zoom in


What’s so impossible about it? Well, this single-layer puzzle design would not be functional using a traditional Rubik’s cube mechanism.

So what did he use as a mechanism here? It’s pretty simple and works great on this “cuboid” puzzle. Fisher explains the secret to his design in a video below and later demonstrated his solution to the puzzle.

If you really can’t wait to learn the secret, I’ll give it away here: It’s magnets. Damn magicians! It’s always magnets. Magnets are the modern sorcery for wizards.
