Real Life Benefits of Speedsolving?

[Immaperson]

Hahaha that's awesome.


That happened to me in this game called Egyptian Rat slap or something. Apparently I'm really good at it because reflexes

Me too. I play rat slap with a friend every day at lunch, and I always kick his butt. only ever lose to my cheating brother...-.-

Reaction times definitely.

I have only been speedcubing for about a month (I could solve it for about a year before) and I have already seen the benefits.

I was taking down some chairs at work (they are put on the tables over night) and I knocked one off, managed to grab it with one hand. Felt like an absolute boss. Also, catching things I have dropped, likes pens in class.

I think so too. I'd be twirling a pen, drop it, and then I'd catch it in under a second.

I have noticed exactly that.

Cubing also makes you more logical and you can easily solve other puzzles. It also gives you 10,000 dollars and a trip around the world + over 1 million youtube veiws if your felix or mats.

I would say that this definitely happens IF you dedicate some time to studying how the cube works, like the logic behind it; if you're like me for my first 3 months just blindly trying to get faster you won't get any mental benefits.

I had a 7 day weekend to write 1 essay. Monday came and I had 1 day to write an essay.

Last summer I had 8 weeks to revise for an English Lit resit. You can probably guess the rest yourself.
Hopefully I can avoid doing any revision this again for my GCSEs...

I presume you ended up with about an hour to revise?

Nah, I started revising properly about a day and a half before, although not all the time for that day and a half. Fortunately I did much better than before; instead of 7/25 and 14/25 I got 14/25 and 21/25. It helped having the exact same questions.
