Definitely multiple pieces simultaneously. In fact, at a certain level you have to be solving not only multiple pieces simultaneously, but also solving the next pieces inside of your mind so that when you finish solving the pieces you were doing, You can go straight into the ones you were solving in your head without any pauses. It’s called “look ahead”

Sounds complex but start small and when you reach that level, you’ll have a good laugh at how simple it can actually be.

Unfortunately not. It just means I’m pretty fast and I stand a good chance at a podium in official competitions. No money (at least not yet) it’s a pretty young sport

Absolutely!! There’s this “algorithm” in blind solving that I can ONLY do while blindfolded, and If I look or do it any slower than normal. I’ll get completely lost, it’s pretty funny

very good question! So people usually ask me “don’t you get bored of repeating the same thing over and over again”? And I ask them, don’t you get bored of watching Netflix the whole day?

Believe it or not, it’s the same thing. EVERY SINGLE scramble I’m given to solve, requires a different combination of moves in order to solve the cube. It’s like scrambles of the Rubik’s cube are like shows in Netflix, it’s completely different every time. In fact it’s almost like every scramble has its own personality and once you solve it, you’ll never meet that “personality” ever again. Repeating moves for a scramble In order to solve it is practically impossible.

There’s 43QUINTILLION different ways you can scramble a Rubik’s cube. If you were to arrange every possible scramble for a Rubik’s cube in a line each Rubik’s cube back to back, they’d be able to match the whole diameter of the Milky Way almost 3 times :)

Apart from that; the lessons I’ve learnt from being a speedcuber are endless. For example I’ve literally learnt how to learn lmao. I’m not kidding though, anything skill I pick up snaps into my head 10x quicker than when I wasn’t a speedcuber it’s crazy. I learnt how to juggle 3 balls in 2 nights of like 20 minute practice each.

chess, piano and juggling utilise look ahead as well.
