No tricks, no jokes, no April Fools, nothing pseudo. My 100% genuine fully functional 1.56m / 5 feet 1 inch Rubik's Cube.

In this case, knowing an efficient sequence to make a checkerboard pattern saves your back! Algorithm move efficiency has more applications than just for the sake of fewest moves and/or speed!

By the way, I love your neighborhood. What a dream!:)

Also, your voice is perfect for making professional documentary narrations!

I think the most common alg for checkerboard is optimal?

That thing is so cool! I hope you get the Guinness World Record for it. Thanks for posting this. You make the cubing community so much fun with your exciting puzzles and inventions!

It is. If you were to fully scramble this cube, then you may want to solve that state fewest moves style before executing it on the big cube, though :) I think that's what Chris is referring to.

LOL they would let you bring that to a comp? That's hilarious.
This is not a "reasonable" size, and good luck finding a delegate willing to let you use this thing for official solves at a comp, get someone willing to scramble it, find a big enough cube cover and table/space. It would be funny to see Tony try to use this cube at an official comp though lol.

This would be a sick mystery event at a comp.

Just picture it, after the main events are over, you assembled into teams.
Suddenly you go into another room and there are giant cubes that need to be solved.
First team to solve gets a prize!

That would be legendary!
