Yawn. I can do that without help

Just learn the algorithms. Its not that hard for the 3x3

My wife solves it faster.

I mean… there’s plenty of solvers online or apps that do similar.

It’s a free app. Works good too.

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

That app is going far too fast, I'd get lost and be in a worse predicament than when I started.

Kinda takes the skill out of it!

lol well more than kinda

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.

uh-huh... yeah... ok... uh...

The cube comes with instructions on how to solve it

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.

Nailed it!!

Bwahahaha not the results I thought it would be but still dope!!

hunh

That was significantly slower than most people solve without cheating.

guessing over half of them cubes never get solved...

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

that is actually pretty simple. No code cracking involved. It is a simple pattern of rotations and anybody can learn it

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

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.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

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.

The one I had as a kid said you can mess it up beyond fixing.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

False.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

how could that be? any sequence could be reversed.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

it's also possible to disassemble the cube and reassemble in an impossible to solve pattern

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

still cheating - still can be solved by simply doing the same. - but that's been done to mess with people

Not if you start moving the stickers around

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

once you go that far, you can always just remove them all and place them to set it as done

And yet, there are people who can do it even faster with their damn brains.

4 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

Which mostly boils down to muscle memory being scary efficient. They don't need to pause and think, just see and execute.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

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.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I couldnt even do it with that app...

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It took more than 20 moves! Inefficient! A computer should at least find the quickest solution.

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

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

4 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

18? But God's number is 20... https://mathworld.wolfram.com/GodsNumber.html

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

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

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

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...

As a trusty companion.

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

It's like saying "once you solve one sudoku, you've pretty much seen them all". I've been cubing for years now.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Except the cube is loke solving the same sudoku over and over. It's the same puzzle.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

It's like solving different sudoku's, but they're all the same difficulty: easy.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

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.
