So as an experiment for a science fair, I'm recording the speed of the MindCuber robot's solving ability and comparing it to human solving ability. I was hoping to have some participation from people who actually know how to solve the cube. If anyone is willing to participate, know that you don't need to be a genius at solving, honestly, you could take as long as you need, I just need some results.
Basically, you will need your own Rubik's cube and two stopwatches.
1. Scramble the cube, and don't look at it.
2. Start the first stopwatch as you begin to examine the cube, and when you are ready to start solving, start the second stopwatch.
Both should be running during the time you solve.
3. When you finish, stop both timers.
If possible, you could also count the moves as well (I can't solve Rubik's cubes so I don't know how difficult this is), whether you count as you solve or video record it and count later.
Attempt as many trials as you wish.
If you decide to try this, your results would look something like this:
Name (optional, for recognition during science fair)
Total time (this comes from the first timer): 5:06.19 (or whatever time shows up)
Solving time (from the second timer): 4:43.78 (etc. etc.)
I know this is a bit much to ask for, but this site was one of the only places I thought to turn to for this kind of demonstration. I do hope someone decides to try. For science! Thank you in advance! c:
