We've come to the end of another season of Solve Guys, and everything has led to this moment.
We'll look back at the season that was, reflect on the guests we've hosted, and answer some of the problems that you've been looking for answers to.
And we'll also hear from Solvebot3000... I mean Chelsea who is the most calm, most refined and non-violent AI ever to grace the waveforms of a podcast.

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.

Global warming... climate change... whatever you want to call it, it is probably the biggest problem facing humanity at the moment.
We know that human induced climate change is changing the planet, causing more extreme weather events, and potentially threatening the survival of life on earth.
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!

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!

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.

So you've just sat down to play a game... you just want to relax and have some down time, but then what happens?

But whats the solution? To help us solve this problem we've enlisted the help of gamer, speed cuber and YouTube legend, Tingboy (he even has his own theme music).

OK, we've all heard conspiracy theories - the moon landing was faked, 9/11 was a false flag operation, Barack Obama's birth certificate, and chemtrails... can't forget chemtrails!
The internet is rife with conspiracy theories and misinformation is easy to spread amongst online communities.
Fighting back against misinformation can be a challenge, but what's the solution?
This is what we'll be discussing on this episode, and who will Solve Bot 3000 choose is the winner? Could that decision be a conspiracy in itself?

Ok let's face it... having to do household chores sucks!
All of those jobs - washing your clothes, vacuuming the floor and cleaning the toilet, is like being stuck inside a never ending spiral of inane boredom! Your clothes will get dirty again, someone will spill bubble tea on the rug, and Tom and toilets....say no more.
We need a solution to this madness before we all lose our minds doing household chores yet again.
Joining us on the podcast today is the GOAT - Feliks Zemdegs; Australia's champion speed cuber who is one of only two (hi Max Park!) cubers to have won the World Cube Association World Championship twice!
Feliks has also set over 350 records at various cubing events around the world, firmly placing him as the best speed cuber of all time!
You can get cubing tips and tricks from Feliks' website CubeSkills, or you can check out his YouTube channel for more cubing action.

Asteroids are constantly striking our planet, but every now and then one threatens to DESTROY LIFE AS WE KNOW IT. We know it's happened before with the dinosaurs, so should we be preparing for when it happens again?
At Solve Guys, we don't want to perish in a fiery, apocalyptic end to the world, and we're pretty sure you don't either.
So what's the solution to a potential asteroid impact with Earth, causing mass extinction across the globe?
To help us solve this problem we've brought in speed cubing legend Chris Mills. Chris has set a number of speed cubing records in his native UK, and held the national record average in 3x3 until just a few weeks ago in his new home of New Zealand.
You can follow Chris on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram.

We're back with more solves than Sherlock Holmes on season two of Solve Guys!
And we're not wasting any time diving into the difficult topics, because our first problem to solve in this season is BULLYING.
Bullying is a massive issue; in schools, online and the workplace. The impact of bullying is no small issue and can often lead to tragic results, so this is a practice that needs to be stamped out.
But what's the solution to bullies and bullying? That's what's up for discussion in this first episode of season two.

Mosquitos... they're like vampires in miniature form, buzzing around and preparing to feast on your red, juicy blood.
These little suckers are your one stop shop for diseases like malaria, Dengue fever, Zika virus and yellow fever.
Almost 400 million people become sick from diseases carried by mosquitos every year; and if you don't get sick, you're going to itch.
Mosquitos and their bites are a massive problem.

Driving means sharing the roads with other motorists. Which is fine if they are polite, relaxed and focused.
But let's face it... some drivers are distracted, some are really keen to get to the next stop light, and some... well some are just jerks.
So what's the solution to bad driving?
In this episode we're putting bad drivers under the microscope with YouTube legend Milan Struyf, aka CubeHead!
Milan is a speed cuber who drives a Tesla, so maybe he's got a few ideas about how technology could solve the issue of bad driving.

Stuff... you've got to do it. But sometimes you'd rather be doing other stuff, different stuff or better stuff than the stuff you should be doing.
It's so easy to put things off now, because procrastination is just a click away.

On this episode we're solving procrastination with Jode Brewster who's a speed cuber, plays a mean jazz sax and never puts off what needs doing right now!
