Can I get super honest? What a waste of human potential. We will soon give Guiness book records for the most niche thing no-one has interest in competing in.
With that being said, I don't care what his hobby is, I am glad he has fun. All until they ask for attention.
This is wild. Angel Alvarado solved three Rubik's cubes while juggling them in 4 minutes 31.01 seconds.
Five months to learn to solve one cube while juggling. Four more months to handle three.
To put it in perspective, the fastest pure speedcuber solves a single cube in just over 3 seconds. Alvarado averaged 90 seconds per cube while juggling. A 30x tax for occupying two cognitive systems at once.
Let's have a closer look at what's actually happening.
A standard 3x3 has 43 quintillion possible configurations. Expert solvers operate on pattern recognition. They fire memorized algorithms (CFOP, Roux, ZZ) when they see specific cube states. Hands execute pattern-action pairs faster than the conscious mind can narrate them.
Juggling three objects is also automated. The cerebellum handles parabolic prediction. The basal ganglia chunk the throw-catch pattern. Once trained, juggling consumes almost no prefrontal load.
That's why this works. When the motor skill is fully automated, it stops competing with symbolic problem solving for the same cognitive resource. The juggling runs on the cerebellum. The cube-solving runs on the prefrontal cortex. The two systems share no bandwidth.
The real bottleneck is state tracking. Alvarado has to hold three cube configurations in working memory while each one cycles in and out of his hands every 0.5 seconds. Each toss gives him a 1 to 2 second window to apply 2 to 4 algorithm steps before the cube comes back. Then the next cube enters his hand and he context-switches.
The limit lives in working memory. The motor system has bandwidth to spare.
Two years after Alvarado, Li Zhihao broke the record at 1 minute 59.76 seconds. The 30x tax compressed to 13x. The pipeline kept refining.
Working memory is the benchmark. Cubes are the load.
Community Note is right.
It's ~63%, not 100%.
Somehow I’ve managed to function and become successful in business despite being atrociously bad at math. lol. not a secret you can ask my team.
Here's what I meant to say:
1 attempt = 1% odds.
100 attempts = 63% odds.
500 attempts = 99.3% odds.
Persistence doesn't guarantee success. It does compounds your probability until the math is eventually on your side.
And now we know that the worse you are at math…. the less time it takes🫣😂😅
We live in times where a single TikTok, one video, drove 40% of Chili's sales growth in a single quarter.
One person. A regular human. Made a video about a cheese pull on a mozzarella stick.
Triple Dipper sales went up 70%. It now makes up 15% of Chili's entire business. They sold 41 million of them. And they raised their revenue forecast to nearly five billion dollars.
From a cheese pull.
For 50 years, marketing has worked the same way. You spend money on ads to amplify average creative. The media dollars did the work, not the idea.
Chili's just proved that it's over.
One piece of organic content outperformed everything their marketing team has ever done.
Are you still thinking about oldschool marketing? Or are you making something worth sharing?
BYD gigafactory bigger than San Fransisco? BYD can make ~2 million EVs a year from one location.
At that scale, prices don’t compete they collapse.
When cars get cheaper, adoption goes up.
When adoption goes up, infrastructure wins.
Charging. Maintenance. Logistics. Batteries.
Announcement:
I’m looking for 100 YouTube creators to implement our 2026 growth strategies with. 🎉
Today we are opening applications for cohort 9 of my 8-week accelerator program.
You get to implement the entire playbook that gets our clients over 10 billion organic views a year.
- 25 hours of live teaching from me
- Full growth playbook
- Personalised strategy feedback
- Accountability community
- Focused on getting real results
We have taken creators from literally 1k views a video to 300K+…
$500 a month to $30,000+.
14k subscribers to almost 1 million.
Just check out the case studies on our site.
People often say we undersell it haha, because of how much work my team and I put into it during the 8 weeks.
If you want to crush 2026 on YouTube get an application in below!
Don’t be discouraged if you’ve applied before and haven’t got in… we had a student in the last cohort who had applied 5 times.
My team reviews every single application.
And it’s New Year’s… so f**k it
