Still not as fast as a huming bean, but looks cool none the less. I like this comment:

"Did the computer scramble it, the human solve it, and the tape get reversed?"

I gotta show my kid this. He can do it in under a minute but this is insane.

My record is like 3 minutes. But I lost a sticker or two doing it.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

That has got me thinking, what would happen if you swapped a couple stickers on the cube to make it impossible to solve?  >:D

That would be hilarious! It would probably just stop working sadly.

It scans the state of the cube before it starts. Then it can figure out a pattern. Thus it wouldn't even start trying to physically solve it if the cube has say 10 red faces. If there is no algorithm to count the number of colours I imagine it would just sit there trying to calculate the 'path' ad infinitum until it was turned off.
