youre sick at cubes

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

That's intense. Can you imagine trying to solve one of these blindfolded?

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

I'm not a speed/blind solver, only recently got into cubing at all. Been practicing on my roomies 7x7x7 v-cube, at about 45 minutes on it lol. Getting better though.

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

I used to be a little into it, solving a 3x3 in about 35 seconds and a 4x4 in a couple minutes. But, I got bored of it.

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

The one and only time I did a 7x7 was on a virtual cube and it took me well over an hour.

4x4 is about my limit for solving for fun. 3x3 seems like a baby after you tackle a 5x5 .

But jesus, those parity algorithms are just annoying and long as hell.

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

i can do up to 5x5x5 but never tried speed-cubing / blindfolded

when u speed cube you need to learn new stuff like how to hold the cube "correctly" and which fingers to use when turning it. cba lol, i just solve them my way which works fine

also, to speed-cube *properly* i think there are different algoirthms that i would need to learn, to optimize speed. not sure if that's true or if every method of solving cubes has the same algorithms but yea

Dare you to solve a Teraminx, rubix

Already have

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

How long did it take you? (estimate)

[MrRubix]

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

Maybe like half an hour to 45 minutes or so? I can't recall, to be honest. It wasn't terribly fast. But for larger puzzles I don't care as much. They're harder to turn and aren't any harder to actually solve than smaller forms of the same puzzle -- just more tedious. I prefer puzzles that have a shorter stamina/attention span requirement.

The only enjoyment I've gotten out of larger cubes is for blindfold solving purposes. I've also blindfold-solved the Mirror Cubes, which was a fun little challenge.

i am the master

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

I learned how to solve a rubik's cube using a set of algorithms and could do it in about a minute and a half, but I'm not serious about it. It's just something neat to be able to do.

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

Messing with one right now.
Definitely not a speed-solver. I'm still learning some algorithms. I can solve the first two layers from memory, but still need to memorize how to get the cross at the top and the corners in the correct place. From there I know how to flip them around.

[JKPolk]

Re: Rubik's Cube Thread

RUR'URUU to fix the cross and then URU'LUR'U'L' to permute the corners problem solved
