   Yet,another reason Will smith is the coolest!

   cheated
   the cube was already partially done when he started
   the bottom side was finished as well as the two bottom layers

   Will Smith Solving Rubik’s Cube For 55 Seconds…

   Fresh Prince can do anything….

   They trained him to do that for a movie he was in. It wasn’t even a very good movie. I like his action stuff better.

5. Austin January 14th, 2008 at 8:15 pm

   So he cheated by only doing the hardest part of a rubik’s cube?

   If he can finish the last row, he could probably do everything leading up to that.

   awesome… i my self cant solve that one in seconds..

7. HappyPanda January 15th, 2008 at 10:25 am

   it would take me a lot longer, even from that starting point… so: way to go Will!

   What you don’t see is when they cut away, he’s peeling off the damn stickers and putting em back on! Will Smith cheats.

    i can solve a rubix cube for 2 seconds.

    will smith solving it FOR 55 seconds doesn’t mean it’s solved.

    learn some fucking grammar.

    Actually, I find the third layer to be one of the quickest. (The algorithms get a little tougher, but it’s still fast to do.) The real time consumers for me are the first and second layers.

    Still, nice to know that he at least knows the basics. I just figured they shot him solving it, then had a solver do some, then him again, and so on.

    I know people that can do it in under 30 seconds.

    And I scramble it for them, for about ten minutes…o_O

    You do know he also did this during Fresh Prince, right? It was the episode where he was speaking with the Princeton admissions guy. But! I personally think he can do it, no matter how much practice. His method of counting was interesting.. you can notice it as he’s tapping the cube.

    its only because hes a scientologist

    @Anthony
    Don’t be so damn skeptical.
    Narky is correct, the rubik’s cube played a big role in “The Pursuit of Happyness”.

16. Ryden January 18th, 2008 at 10:25 pm

    Not very impressive, but nice that he can do it.
    Why only the last layer?

17. Michelle January 19th, 2008 at 6:45 am

    If you listen to the dialogue it says that he’s actually already a minute in about 20-30 seconds after the beginning of the clip. Which means he probably had been doing the other sides, someone just mislabeled the video.

    @Michelle
    If it wasn’t for the on screen clock in the corner….

19. Mike C January 20th, 2008 at 1:55 pm

    Can’t you see the film footage is played in reverse? He is starting with a finished cube and then scrambling it.
    Look closely at the audience for proof: a sneeze flies up some dude’s nose!!

20. Joel January 20th, 2008 at 10:11 pm

    I saw the movie where he had to do this
    I didn’t think he’d actually learned to do it !

21. NAKMAL January 23rd, 2008 at 3:38 am

    hooray for petrus last layer…. that was pretty slow, but at least he remembers how to do it

22. chertAltele February 9th, 2008 at 10:08 pm

    I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:

24. anon July 21st, 2008 at 5:58 am

    Those are easy, anyone can learn them and do them that fast and especially when you start off with a whole corner. 4×4 and 5×5 are easy as well. Trust me just look up how to do it on youtube and give it a weekend and you´ll be a cubemaster

25. Anthony udontneedtoknowmylastname September 9th, 2008 at 8:07 pm

    Cool that will smith can do it in 55 seconds i saw him in a interveiw do it within 2mins tho so idk if this is true still dam good job it would take ME and i bet ALL of you guys at leat freaken a year to do it…btw

    Chuck Norris Did finish the cube .0092 seconds its a fact

26. ALEX September 12th, 2008 at 6:45 pm

    billy bob joe thinks its werid

27. EFC-chick December 16th, 2008 at 6:30 pm

    it was ok i guess but u could sorta tell he cheated lol even tho he had to do it for a movie i dont think he did it correctly.
