How to Solve a Rubik’s Cube Blindfolded

Have you ever seen someone solve a Rubik’s cube blindfolded, and thought that they must be a complete genius?

If you can solve a Rubik’s cube with your eyes open then you may have considered learning how this wizardry is done, but then been put off from trying because you don’t consider yourself to be smart enough. You may have watched a couple of online videos and dismissed the idea because of all the pausing and rewinding required. Perhaps you think it must be extremely difficult, and virtually impossible for you to achieve, so why even try?

Problems solved

While thoughts like these are enough to put off most cubers from even starting on their blindfolded journey, they need not be. Solving a Rubik’s cube blindfolded is a skill that can be learned over the course of a couple of weeks, as long as you have the right tutorial to guide you. You don’t need to be a whizz at solving the Rubik’s cube or to have a photographic memory (an average memory will do). The next level of cubing is available to all cubers, including you, no matter how quickly (or otherwise) you can solve it with your eyes open.
