Any Cubers Here?

[dabest2500]

Be careful, if you put them back incorrectly you can end up with some pieces in the wrong way, making it impossible to solve (Unless you break it again... )

I can do a Rubik's cube (Theres one on the shelf above my desk right now), but I can't solve it quickly. I usually complete it in 3-4 minutes. It's satisfying, knowing the majority of people don't know how to do them when I can. I've even done a 4x4 and a 5x5 in the past too, though they took significantly longer...

But with practice i'm sure I could break that down, but i'm not nearly bothered enough to want to try 'speed-cubing'.

If you put an even number of cubies in the wrong way round, the cube is still possible, but when you put in an odd number the wrong way round, or swap over two pieces the right way round, you'll end up with parity error which is of course, impossible to solve on a 3x3, unless you get it on the void cube.

I solved one. Once. Through a tutorial, so it doesn't count.

I learnt how to speedcube through the Internet

OP reminds me way too much of GTP's old resident fire alarm enthusiast.

Eh?

Dammit, so hard to find cubers on GTPlanet anywhere
Mine got thrown in the sea...

/fixed.

I've just uploaded a new video today of another solve:

[Crumpet]

Cool.

But I still think cubes are sad.

 

[dabest2500]

Because you can't solve one

 

[Crumpet]

I do have one, though I can't do it.


Maybe I should make a video of me setting it on fire.

 

[dabest2500]

"Will it blend?"

 

[Crumpet]

I hope so. Maybe you could make a nice drink out of it.

 

[dabest2500]

That reminded me of that episode of Top Gear where they put in raw beef, bricks and alcohol in a blender and drank from it *shivers*

 

[Crumpet]

That was an awesome episode.

Is it okay to leave this here?

 

[dabest2500]

What cube was that

What cube was that

I'm not sure, it's not mine.

Found it on Google.

 

[dabest2500]

From the core and the centre pieces, it looks like a Hungarian Rubik's cube, fantastic when you lube it with Lubix
Have I gone too far

I'm going to Hungary this Summer, maybe I should buy one and re-create the scene above but with fire.

And yes you went too far.

 

[dabest2500]

I have to study for A Levels this Summer
But hey, at least it's maths
Look what I just found on Youtube, RIP:

I'm glad he put that cube out of it's misery, imagine being felt up by a pair of giant hands everyday.

 

[dabest2500]

Maybe you'll like an easier 2x2 cube

The one I have is a 3x3.

I think so anyway, each side has 9 squares.

 

[dabest2500]

Yes yes, it's a 3x3.
Or a 3x3x3 to be more exact.
There's 3x3x2 and all sorts out there.
I've ordered a 4x4x4 cube for $18, it's the Maru 4x4.
I have no idea how to solve one...
I've also ordered 5 other cubes.
All 6 cubes cost £70 plus shipping from the US.
1 lan lan 2x2, 4 3x3s (Ghost Hand FII, DaYan GuHong, DaYan Lingyun coloured, DaYan Lingyun stickered) and finally the Maru 4x4.
3 new cubes coming out soon too.
I've spent too much

 

[Crumpet]

You really need to shut up or you'll never be getting a girl.

 

[dabest2500]

I'll take your girl in a minute

 

[Crumpet]

If you even try I'll throw a cube at you.

 

[dabest2500]

I'll solve it before it even touches me

 

[Crumpet]

Fine then I'll throw a rock, try solving that genius..

 

[dabest2500]

[Crumpet]

Oh......

EDIT - I'll throw a piece of metal.

 

[dabest2500]

Apparently it's called the blindman's cube...

 

[Crumpet]

How many did they make?

 

[dabest2500]

1 too many
It looks like something from hell...
