    Let's Solve Bad Memory

    Let's Solve Bad Memory

    This episode of Solve Guys is all about.... what was it again - I forgot.
    Oh that's right - bad memory! How can we harness all the power of our brains to ensure we can remember all the stuff we need to?
    To help us out, we've enlisted the help of two other speed cubers who have pretty good memories - because they solve their cubes blindfolded (from memory), and in world record times!
    Charlie Eggins broke the world record for the fastest time to solve a 3x3 Rubik's Cube blindfolded, registering a time of 12.10 seconds at the Australian Nationals in 2023.
    Michael Tripodi finished fourth in the 4x4 blindfolded solving event at the 2023 World Cubing Championships.
    You can follow Charlie on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram.
    You can also keep upto date with Michael on YouTube or Instagram.

    This topic is one of the most requested, so we've enlisted your help. To everyone who sent in a solution to climate change... thank you!
    We've selected a few of the best to include in the podcast, even if they all weren't 100% serious!

    Let's Solve Exams

    Let's Solve Exams

    If you are, or have ever been a student, then you know how much of a pain exams are.
    There's many problems with exams as we know it; teachers who only teach for the exam and ignore other vital information, and students cramming at the last minute, only to forget much of the information straight after the exam are just two of the issues.
    Is there a better way to track students progress than with exams, which often make up much of a student's grade for the subject?
    Joining us to help solve this problem is Max Siauw. Max is a speed cuber from Seattle and is currently a high school student, so has current experience of the problems posed by exams.
    You can follow Max on his YouTube or Instagram pages. Thanks Max for becoming the latest member of the Solve Guys family!

    Let's Solve The Cost of Living

    Let's Solve The Cost of Living

    The cost of living has gone through the roof over the last 18 months or so.... interest rate hikes have hit everyone hard raising the cost of mortgages and rents, and the price of essentials like food and fuel have soared.
    You don't need an economics degree to know that your income is not increasing at the same rate as everything else.
    But what's the solution? What are some ways that we can ease cost of living pressures, and make each dollar stretch a little further.
