It is estimated that less than 5.8 percent of the world's population can solve the Rubik's Cube. But one boy in China can solve three -- while juggling them -- in 5 minutes, 6 seconds.

12-year-old Que Jianyu demonstrated this talent last December on the set of Dream of China, a Chinese reality talent show, local news and entertainment site Shanghaiist reported on its Facebook page on Tuesday.

Christmas came early for the boy that day, when two judges from the Guinness World Records who were also present gave him recognition for the fastest time recorded solving three Rubik's Cubes while juggling them.

I can't even juggle.

Wow, that is amazing.

No way that kid isn't a robot.

good luck competing with china america.

Amazing. But what I want to say is these Guiness World Records are getting dumber and dumber. Next we'll have a separate record for doing that while drinking a strawberry milkshake. 5 gallons, without hurling.

double post....

 

[SKORPI0]

Some solve them blindfolded...

or even with their feet.

yep, they've got a stranglehold on the rubik's cube juggling market

 

[Fenixgoon]

pretty nuts!

i can fix a car. that's my superpower

 

[Darwin333]

The real question is, will this help him get laid in the future?

China: Dedicating their life's work to a problem that was solved over 40 years ago.

1.5 billion of them all dedicated.

China is great with the rote memorization (math and multiple choice type testing) and repetitive labor tasks. Not so good with actual creativity and real innovation.

Yup, leave that to Europe. We're good for eating and shooting things.

How many schools do they need to change to nurture a creative class? How big does that class have to be? 10 million people? Out of 1.5 billion. The scale is something we will never win on. All of you STEM people who thought it was safe are turning out to be shipped off. STEM is easy.

They have STEAM schools, though. much better. A is the "creative" part.

like, real proper education as it should be, but with that more modern focus on all the early math stuff.

Honestly, there really is no threat when it comes to "US is getting demolished by math!!" That stuff is historically easy, it really is, and the age at which you can figure it out is rather irrelevant. The actual problem solving, thinking, creativity, that is something that takes time and experience to figure out. Math is just a tool. Nothing more. Big fucking deal. You put 500 kids in a warehouse, train them the 7 stitches and 20 patterns to sew a dress, beat them senseless throughout the day, well, you're going to make a shit load of the same dresses every day. Same thing with beating math into their skulls at an early age. It's racing against the wrong problem, and countries that fight at that angle are destined to lose. It's outright stupid.

Big, world-changing projects happen because of a very small team of uniquely talented, brilliant individuals, supported by a warehouse of drooling math monkeys. That isn't going to change. Trying to beat the Chinese to last place is fucking stupid.

im not talking about trying to beat them. Thats over. They already won. 10 years ago maybe we had a chance but its done.

i heard the same thing about japan 30 years ago

This is different. Read about the reasons why japan became that powerful and you will understand.

nah i'll take your word for it

honestly don't think it'll affect me very much, i've got maybe 10-15 years of work left and then i'm out. maybe i'll learn chinese after that, seems like a fun challenge and a good timesink and might be useful 30 years from now.

 

[JSt0rm]

luckily the chinese people actually like america. They like our stuff and culture.

yeah i work with a few chinese folks who became US citizens, they like it here and are doing very well and are generally great to work with.

one of the guys was at tiananmen and saw some serious crap go down. he got out the year after that happened.

They won what?

I don't get it.
