    I would not believe it if I had not witnessed it with my own eyes. I went to a competition in Atlanta, Ga years ago and some guy did it. I guess they memorize the moves or something. It was quite amazing.

    It's possible. I've seen people do it (on tv).
    Almost unbelievable.

    I believe it can be done if the person memorizes it.

    I was just curious about all the DP'ers thought. I can solve a standard 3x3 Rubik's cube with my eyes open in 17 seconds on average, and can do it Blindfolded in under 5 minutes (counting memorization).

    On my site (http://www.pjkcubed.com), on the right menu, i have a beginners guide to solving it, and then a beginners blindfold guide. I'd recommend checking it out so you understand the method.

    Enjoy.

    It's possible with a LOT of luck and time!

    Unless you can graphically memorize the cube and solve it visually in your brain! :eek:
