Game, set, match: Student solves three Rubik’s cubes while juggling them [Video]

Rubix cubes juggle

Before you click “Purchase” for tickets to the Ringling Bros. circus show, remember that there’s always YouTube to offer up free, mind blowing, black magic trickery that’s as good as live tightrope walks and well-dressed elephants standing on theirs hind legs.

Ravi Fernando gained some Internet notoriety last year when he posted YouTube videos of him solving a Rubik’s cube while juggling the puzzle with two regular balls. Now, he’s up the ante by solving three Rubik’s cubes. While juggling them. All at the same time. Oh, and he completely solves all three by the 5:55 minute mark. As if it’s not hard enough to juggle three average sacks for six continuous minutes!

Alas, Fernando, a Stanford University student, shows he’s still only human by (maybe purposely) dropping one cube after he inspects his results. He even had a fan walk up and recognize him during the act.

Keep watching and just wait for it. Eventually, the sides of the cubes will begin to bare similar shades and you’ll wonder why you went to graduate school for Human Rights when you could have just been a really bored kid at home with a few toys and a video camera. You go, Ravi, you win the Internet.

CES 2023: HD Hyundai’s Avikus is an A.I. for autonomous boat and marine navigation

Autonomous vehicle navigation technology is certainly nothing new and has been in the works for the better part of a decade at this point. But one of the most common forms we see and hear about is the type used to control steering in road-based vehicles. That's not the only place where technology can make a huge difference. Autonomous driving systems can offer incredible benefits to boats and marine vehicles, too, which is precisely why HD Hyundai has unveiled its Avikus AI technology -- for marine and watercraft vehicles.

More recently, HD Hyundai participated in the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, to demo its NeuBoat level 2 autonomous navigation system for recreational boats. The name mashes together the words "neuron" and "boat" and is quite fitting since the Avikus' A.I. navigation tech is a core component of the solution, it will handle self-recognition, real-time decisions, and controls when on the water. Of course, there are a lot of things happening behind the scenes with HD Hyundai's autonomous navigation solution, which we'll dive into below -- HD Hyundai will also be introducing more about the tech at CES 2023.

"The pleasure of Busby's company is what I most enjoy," he reluctantly reads. "He put a tack on Miss Yancy's chair, and she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the month, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room ..."
