Watch This Rice Offensive Lineman Solve a Rubik’s Cube in Less Than a Minute Without Even Looking

Ever fumble around with a Rubik’s Cube for hours on end — unable, seemingly, to make even the slightest bit of progress? It can be a truly maddening endeavor — one to which Calvin Anderson cannot relate.

Anderson, an offensive lineman for Rice, has a photographic memory — which gives him the remarkable ability to solve the popular brain-bender in seconds.

Without even looking at it.

Anderson told the American Sports Network in 2015 that he learned how to solve the Cube in the seventh grade from a friend who showed him an Internet tutorial.

“Something about it just stuck with me, and I kept messing with it,” he said. “Over the years, I developed my own way of solving it.”

He added, “I’ve told people, ‘It’s like solving a Sudoku, the same intuitive thinking.’”
