– how do people solve Rubik’s cube in 5-10 Seconds?

Answer 1

It’s a combination of memorization of face states, a limited set of moves trained in to muscle memory, and chance.

That is, there are very few people who can consistently solve a randomly mixed cube in under 10 seconds every time.

But most mixed up cubes aren’t really “random” but instead are in a relatively small set of states for which the person has memorized the solution.
