Considering a Rubik’s Cube is scrambled randomly everytime and there can not be one single approach to all the configurations, how do speed cubers solve it in such a little time?

It’s just moving things around to a known position and then following a bunch of memorized algorithm moves.  The only hard part really is memorizing the algorithms.  It’s actually *far* less difficult than it seems…if you can memorize sets of moves like F R U R’ U’ F’ (front clockwise, right clockwise, upside clockwise, right counterclockwise, upside counterclockwise, front counterclockwise), that’s all it really is.
