Every time somebody wants me to solve a rubiks cube, they waste 5 minutes scrambling it thinking the longer you scramble, the harder it is. I have to tell people at least 8 times before it sinks in that the solve is the same regardless of the scramble. Then they're mesmerized by how fast I'm doing it. I keep explaining that the method of solving it is exactly the same regardless of how it's scrambled. That it's muscle memory and I simply got fast at doing the exact same thing over and over and over. But to them I'm solving a completely new puzzle somehow. They're like "her brain must be going a million miles an hour." I'm not even thinking while I'm doing it because it's all muscle memory. I'm just repeating the same 9 (sometimes 7 or 8 if I get lucky and get a skip) sequences every scramble. No thinking involved. Just steps. Why is it so hard for people to get this despite me explaining repeatedly?
