A man on a New York subway has some Twitter users buzzing over the impressive way he solved a Rubik’s Cube.
The unnamed train passenger, who was decked out in a red du-rag and a T-shirt from the anime TV series “Dragon Ball Z”, was tapped by New York City street photographer Sheldon Serkin Tuesday, July 25.

In the now-viral clip, the man, who was clearly adept at manipulating the 3-D combination puzzle, solves it one-handed within seconds. Several commenters even think his eyes were closed.

Some noted the video was impressive, but the puzzle could be solved with practice.
Not to discredit dude, cause that’s impressive, but it’s not hard to solve. Just gotta memorize the algorithm. Has nothing to do w/ IQ

It’s not really calculations. It’s patterns. Like A series of instructions. It’s really not that hard to learn. An hour on YouTube 😉
