FAO Cubers

If there are any of course

So I've been playing around with my 3x3x3 now for quite some time and have an avarage of roughly 1:30min. I do it mostly to pass time on the bus or to take my mind off things when stressed

But the other day a classmate of mine(we are 6-7 people in my class who cube) brought his 5x5x5 which he hasn't solved yet and let me play around with it a little. So far I've completed all six middles and I'm now about to do the sides. As my classmate wouldn't let me borrow his cube I found a nice little simulator that allows you to make a cube basically any size you'd like

Would be awesome to get a 5x5x5 for Christmas

alright rain man calm yourself before you have an episode

 

[Garaen]

I used to like you until you mentioned "cubers"

 

[CorNokZ]

I never liked you

 

[Garaen]

I lied I used to love you.

... and still do my little cuber

Fk is dis!?

Little cuber? Just finished my first 5x5x5! The last algorithm was insane! Had to youtube it as I had been stuck on something insanely stupid for about 2 hours



The number is seconds spent solving it

 

[Bahumat]

what do you mean about algorithms?

 

[fettoken]

Mathematical solutions to calculate how to get all colors in right order?

 

[CorNokZ]

Turning the sides.. The algorithm I couldn't figure out looks like this:

(Rr)2 B2 U2 (Ll) U2 (Rr)' U2 (Rr) U2 F2 (Rr) F2 (Ll)' B2 (Rr)2

Translation:

(Both rights turned twice) (Back turned twice) (Upper layer turned twice) (Both rights turned twice counter-clockwise) (Upper turned twice) (Both rights turned) (Upper turned twice) (Front turned twice) (Both rights turned) (Front turned twice) (Both left turned twice counter-clockwise) (Back turned twice) and (Both rights turned twice)




First move is the one I just described:

This is one of those things where maths have to come naturally to you. I have no fucking clue whats going on here He's using a process to move the pieces, but thats too clever for me

There was another thread about some documentary I couldn't watch b/c of iPlayer, lolz, so I wanted to give something back that everyone can watch

I saw this the other day and thought it was quite good

CUBERS: THE DOCUMENTARY

 

[adoNix]

A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DEGREES!


that must be top10 annoying voices i've heard

 

[CorNokZ]

Haha exactly my thoughts! Exact same voice and tone every damn time he says it aswell

 

[CorNokZ]

decided to take a break from my studying and solved my 7x7x7 V-Cube

back to my studying now!

A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DEGREES!

Imagine that with that famous dart announcer (whatever his name is).
ONEHUNDRET AND EIGHTY!!!

 

[Bahumat]

Haha I know who you mean. I think that would force a rule change where 180 no longer counts!

I thought this thread was about

I can't see the charm in trying to solve a cube all day long. Perhaps im not intelligent enough to actually solve an ordinary rubix cube, have given it a few halv assed tries and managed to fill two sides as most.

 

[CorNokZ]

All day long? The big 7x7x7 takes me rughly 15-20minutes and the regular 3x3x3 only takes around a minute

 

[fettoken]

U'r gay.... gay gay gay. get a damn hobby or smth

edit: proper hobby

 

[CorNokZ]

Go write more emo bs on facebook, faggot

 

[fettoken]

maybe i will, douche
