Solving a 5x5 Rubik's Cube in Under Seven Minutes Isn't Impressive, Unless You're Blindfolded

Demonstrating the memorization and motor skills of some sort of humanoid robot, Hungary's Marcell Endrey spends three and a half minutes getting to know a scrambled 5x5 Rubik's Cube, slips on a blindfold, and solves it in just over four minutes.


Not only did Endrey break the world speed record for solving a scrambled 5x5 without eyes at the Zune Open 2012 World Cube Association event, he also took home top honors in the 4x4 and 3x3 multi blindfolded event. He's some sort of machine specifically designed to do this sort of thing. His skills might not have many practical applications, but in the luxurious world of Rubik's competition (I mean look at that dingy hotel room!), he is a god.
