Extreme Multitasking: GH + 2 Rubik’s Cubes
A couple semesters ago, I took a skill acquisition class and one of the major assignments was to select and learn a new skill. While we we learning our new skill, we were reading literature on the various theories on how people learn skills from novice up to the expert level. The combination of application and reading made it a really cool class.
I chose speed solving the Rubik’s Cube, and another guy in the class decided to learn guitar on Rock Band. By the end of the semester, both of use learned our skills pretty well, but honestly, we got nothing on the guy in the video above. I guess I can appreciate it from a skill acquisition perspective but even if I couldn’t it’s just plain awesome: solving two Rubik’s Cubes while playing a fairly difficult song on the Expert setting.
