Is this really all that genius?

Question

That commercial came on where the blind folded guy is doing the Rubik's Cube. And she said that can't be real. To which I replied, maybe it has certain textures, bumps. And she thinks i'm genius! That I could make millions because blind people would want to do it. Is it really that ground breaking? Should I invest in this?

I know it is'nt real. I was just making stuff up to try and get her to believe it was real.

Eh let em. I would hope they would'nt, but I really wanted to know if anyone may have been thinking this too.

Answer 1

I think it's been done -

It's a good idea though so at least you are thinking, no mean feat in this day and age.

Not sure it's a good idea to invest but keep up the thinking.

Finally this reminded me of an old joke.

What goes 'Click, click, click, is that it?, click, click, click, is that it?' Yes, it's a blind person doing the Rubik's cube.

Not my joke so please people direct your disgust and thumbs down elsewhere.

Answer 2

i've seen a book that tell the moves to put the cube straight so if some one memorized the sequence, it could be done w/ out looking
