My son showed me this video and asked if it was even possible. I didn't have a good answer for him.

This guy looks at 50 Rubik's cubes for about 37 minutes and then puts on a blindfold and solves them all from memory in about 21 minutes.

What do you think? Is this bs or does it show something truly remarkable about the capacity of the human brain?

I've seen amazing simultaneous chess exhibitions,

Yes like Magnus Carlsen. He plays 10 blind games simultaneously and wins them all. http://youtu.be/cTeDkyQUbyY

His brain must work differently than mine.

the most common cheat when blindfolds are involved is a tiny vision avenue.

That was my first suspicion. I guess this guy holds the world record for doing one RC blind in 21 sec. Looks more controlled in this video.

I guess that not every unbelievable thing that you might see is actually unbelievable.

There's nothing really remarkable about it.

Yeah I don't know about that. I suspect that it is not as difficult as it looks but I wouldn't agree that it is not remarkable.
