New NxNxN world record (22x22x22)

[biscuit]

Corren puzzles has completed his 22x22x22 (new WR for largest NxNxN). You can see a picture of it (as well as an explosion) on CBC's facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CrazyBadCuber?fref=nf

Here is his youtube channel. It doesn't seem to have anything other than the explosion video about the 22x22x22

EDIT: Wait up... Turns out it wasn't quite fully assembled so it was not functioning fully (and so not a WR). It shouldn't take too long for him resolve the issue and then who knows how long to re-assemble.

Can't wait to see it stickered. That thing is going to take days to solve.

I wonder what God's number is for that puzzle.

 

[OLLiver]

this is a thing of beauty.

Now how much does it cost?

 

[szalejot]

So... Oskar has a new challenge

Actually the "Stairway to Cerberus" vid on that channel is a timelapse of partial assembly... absolutely ridiculous

RedKB, new challenge?

 

[TheCoolMinxer]

Wait, WHAT? Cool thing, I would never have the patience to do something like this

 

[SpeedCubeReview]

I think we all can agree we would have rather seen that thing pillowed.

This is not done yet, he said on the twisty puzzles forum that he had a problem with the core that'll take about a month to finish, the picture you linked was taken 5 minutes before this:

[Gingeas]

That...is insane.

Why would you like to see that. I personally like the aestetics of larger edge pieces. On this one I have to agree that it looks a bit strange but with such a large puzzle it's much easier to turn and especially allign the thing.
I personally would also prefer a cubic 13x13 over the pillowed one

 

[SHualong]

God.
Great puzzle, but woulden't it have been easier to make a 23x23x23?

I think you overestimated the seriousness of my post.

Probably not, actually, because with an odd-layered puzzle the center piece must be large enough to put a screw through it to attach to the core. An even-layered puzzle, however, has a different mechanism, where the the screws are in an internal core and the pieces 'float' above it. If you have a 4x4 you can look at that core vs a 3x3, and you will see the difference.

it has more solved states than 3x3 has scrambled ones. [SUP][citation needed][/SUP]

but wouldnt the "solved states" of switched around center pieces cause like 10 dofferent types of parity? so isnt there just 1 solved state?

I think the are many solved states too. You can always 3cycle center pieces of the same face (ie [noparse]https://alg.cubing.net/?puzzle=6x6x6&alg=[2R-_F-_:_[2L-,U_2R_U-]] [/noparse])

oh ok ma bad then

It's not perfect and it needs to improve but it IS a fully functional cube thus making it a new record.

He never finished assembling it; an unassembled cube is not a fully functional cube. That picture only shows one view of it - it's empty on the other side (as seen in the video of it exploding).
