Rubik's Cube Nerd me, Buys Another Cube Again

My desk is getting full.

No more space to put them, ngl.

All one color is cheating, dude.

>>3
The sizes are different, man.

Looks legit.

Stop arranging them so nicely, lol.

Not bad.

How fast can you solve them?

>>13
I don't do speedcubing. Just the regular 3x3 in about 1 minute 10 seconds.

Anyone else into this?

BTW, the red one in the front has glitter. Looks cool.

>>18
This person is famous.

If you're buying a Rubik's Cube, get a competition one for around 3000 yen on Amazon. Way easier to turn than the regular ones.

There's a method now to solve it in one move. Haven't looked into it though.

>>22
Using a super hard-to-turn one, lol.

If it's not a competition one, it falls apart easily.

>>24
Isn't it the opposite? Competition ones pop more easily.

>>25
I mean they break. Non-competition ones can't be fixed if they break.

>>29
Wow... too strong, or is it a 100-yen store one?

If you memorize and practice, anyone can get under 30 seconds. Haven't gone that far though.

Can you solve all the ones you bought?

>>33
I can solve them unless I forget, then I just look it up.

For beginners, I recommend Pyraminx. It's easy.

>>37
This one's too easy.

Do you have the Rubik's Cube Impossible?

>>40
Thought about buying it. But I feel like I won't be able to solve it, so I'm hesitating.

The color changes depending on the angle, that's insane. I saw it in a store and it didn't look solved even in its initial state.

If your desk is full, get a storage box or something.

>>43
Too much hassle to take them out.

The hardest one to solve is this. Takes about an hour.

>>49
Can't even imagine what it looks like when disassembled, let alone solving it.

Isn't there a cube with slightly different shades of red or something?

>>50
Carp put one out.

That's amazing, lol. How can you do that?

>>52
There's a method to it. Once you memorize the patterns, it's all about how fast you can do it. It's not like you're thinking and matching on the fly.

You just memorize the solving algorithm, right? Doing math is more practical and fun.

>>58
It's a hobby. For me, it's like a slightly brainy fidget spinner.

Mystery meat version.

>>60
Gross.

>>60
All the same color, lol.

Nice job solving them. Do you have more?

>>65
Mostly different variations of the 3x3. Got some unique ones like an octahedron, the eight-sided one.

>>70
Looks like a hassle to turn. Also, there's a weird-shaped six-sided one in the back, lol. That looks hard to turn too.

I can solve a 3x3 too.

You probably solve them with your eyes closed and one hand, lol.

>>69
Blindfolded Rubik's Cube is too hard to memorize, haven't done it yet. Managed to do it once though.

How do you do blindfolded? I get stuck at the initial cross.

>>74
You memorize the initial positions and then think of the moves to swap two points repeatedly.

>>76
Sounds tedious.

>>77
You have to memorize the route for each move, so it's tough. Need to remember about 17 random characters.

>>78
Can you solve it in 17 moves?

>>79
You solve the cross and corners, so it takes about that many. Doesn't mean it gets solved in 17 moves.

It's satisfying to solve, so NanJ people should give Rubik's Cube a try.

Does the shiny one in the bottom left even function as a Rubik's Cube?

>>82
Nope. Just looks cool and shiny.

I have a Rubik's Cube too, but I got bored after solving it once.

>>87
Try buying different kinds. Or you could get into speedcubing.

Not everyone can get that deeply into Rubik's Cubes.

Personally, I recommend this one. Sometimes the usual Rubik's Cube methods won't work (parity), so it keeps things interesting.

It took me six months to solve a 3x3 by hypothesizing and moving the Rubik's Cube in my head.

>>91
You solved it on your own? That's impressive. I don't think I could ever do that on my own.

>>92
Yeah. It felt like a puzzle or shogi problem, was fun.

People always think you're super good at math or something. But you just memorized the steps.

>>94
Totally. It's just a memorization game, nothing to do with intelligence.

Had fun talking about it. No one in real life does more than the 3x3. Thanks!

There are so many different kinds of Rubik's Cubes.
