Yawn. I can do that without help
JeffGriffin
Just learn the algorithms. Its not that hard for the 3x3
SaintSleepyWeasel
My wife solves it faster.
Drase333
I mean… there’s plenty of solvers online or apps that do similar.

*need rage intensifies*
Skizzlesnap
It’s a free app. Works good too.
Buhbasaur
Kinda defeats the purpose of those things but at the same time, I get it. Never have solved one of those damn cubes, always wanted to though
everythingthatglitters
That app is going far too fast, I'd get lost and be in a worse predicament than when I started.

Just take off the stickers and put all the colors on the same face, idjit.

Slower you slut.

Now they just need an app for the Lament Configuration

That just seems like Rubik's Cube with extra steps
JamesInTasmania
Kinda takes the skill out of it!
foxfire1112
lol well more than kinda
mieper3
True, BUTT it can also help you aquire the skill!

Butt?

Nah just feeding you the optimal computer solution doesn't teach you much. Needs to walk you through repeatable steps that work every time.
PixelSprite64
uh-huh... yeah... ok... uh...
ZenToaster
The cube comes with instructions on how to solve it

shoulda known when he cracked his neck
CaptainThePirate
The best part of this is how obviously lined up for a ‘I know the exact sequence’ it seems with all the 2’s and 3’s showing on the cube.
Wikipedo
Nailed it!!
bryrut8209
Bwahahaha not the results I thought it would be but still dope!!

when you get the job anyway

That was significantly slower than most people solve without cheating.
thisisausernamelikeanyothersbutthisonesmellsweird
guessing over half of them cubes never get solved...
cAPTNcAPSLOCK
that is actually pretty simple. No code cracking involved. It is a simple pattern of rotations and anybody can learn it
The hard part is when you want to get really fast and start optimizing all the edge cases. Beginner method takes 30 minutes to learn though.
offroadguy56
Just learn to solve it yourself. It should only take about a day to learn. Use one of those fancy smart cubes to teach you.
Someshithead241
There's actually a pattern you can do that, after time, you it will work itself out no matter how messed up it is. Do that with one hand and
Figure out how to do it quickly, you'll look like a genius.
Just learn the beginner algorithms to get it done in 1-2 minutes instead of giving yourself RSI cycling through all configurations.
Cheating

Bet they eat pumpkins...
Crangus77
Instructions unclear. Got my penis stuck.
MobileMagnolia
The one I had as a kid said you can mess it up beyond fixing.
False.
NickRivieraMD
how could that be? any sequence could be reversed.
samanthadlcruz
it's also possible to disassemble the cube and reassemble in an impossible to solve pattern
still cheating - still can be solved by simply doing the same. - but that's been done to mess with people
WhichIsIt
Not if you start moving the stickers around
once you go that far, you can always just remove them all and place them to set it as done
skankhunt51
And yet, there are people who can do it even faster with their damn brains.
Which mostly boils down to muscle memory being scary efficient. They don't need to pause and think, just see and execute.
That blows my mind. I'm an abstract thinker, learned the cube to improve my 3D spatial reasoning. It's crazy that people can do that.
Megamastermetamememaker
I couldnt even do it with that app...
macbi
It took more than 20 moves! Inefficient! A computer should at least find the quickest solution.
PunsExceptTheyAreAFewHoursLate
A two-phase algorithm can generate a 23-move solution in a fraction of a second, and brute-forcing the perfect 18 moves can take minutes
sushipig
18? But God's number is 20... https://mathworld.wolfram.com/GodsNumber.html
The maximum number is 20, but most positions require 16-19 moves to solve. There's a table on this page: https://www.cube20.org
Interesting; the median and the mode are both 18, and the mean is 17.7 moves; so *most* cubes take ~18 moves , and 20 is an edge case.

Whats the point of buying a cube...
LordSkippyTheMagnificent
As a trusty companion.
TheMarvinator
It was for my husband who swears he could do it as a kid. I can now drive him nuts by completing it first

TomDeH
Its basically like a hard chinese puzzle, but once you can do it it loses all its attraction
Not really... Can you learn more efficient techniques? Can you do it faster? Faster still? I learned years ago but it's still fun
Falcrist
It's like saying "once you solve one sudoku, you've pretty much seen them all". I've been cubing for years now.
Jyzzzy
Except the cube is loke solving the same sudoku over and over. It's the same puzzle.
It's like solving different sudoku's, but they're all the same difficulty: easy.
Not really, the way you solve it becomes very different from the first solve all the way until you get good. Optimization is the fun part.
