Michel Gondry Solves a Rubiks Cube with his Nose

Filed under Fun Stuff, Video |

I never heard of Michel Gondry before, so when I saw the title “Michel Gondry Solves a Rubiks Cube with his Nose” on YouTube I was not particularly intrigued. But I knew the Rubiks Cube even though I never owned one myself and thus never spent the hours on hours to solve the puzzle.

But the idea of solving this puzzle with the nose - hmmm - that started be be attention grabbing.

So I looked …

… and I was fascinated, but instinctively I felt there was something wrong with that. I could feel it in my bones there was something not quite kosher.

And sure enough, thanks to the distributed intelligence of the internet I found the information I had a gut feeling to exist.

This video is a fake!

There you have it! And learn that not everything you see on the internet is true.

    The comedy of the second video becomes more understandable when you know that Michel Gondry made a video in which he claims and demonstrates that he can solve the Rubic’s Cube with his feet.

    A video is made about this in the same spirit as the second one above debunking the claim by showing that Gondry started with a solved cube and then used his feet to un-solve it but presents this in reverse with some creative editing.
