Stupid questions, smart answers

[Robert-Y]

The point of this thread to ask questions which are hard to answer but not impossible to find the answer. I'll start off.

How many people can solve the Rubik's cube in the world?

Over 9000. Hey, somebody's gonna say it.

 

[Sir E Brum]

The same number of people who read this forum. That means you too guests.

Why does each face of a 3x3x3 have 9 stickers?

I will continue.

Why does each face of a 3x3x3 have 9 stickers?

Because if it didn't, it either:
A) wouldn't be a 3x3x3
B) wouldn't be a cube
C) it doesn't have 9 stickers; we only think it does

 

[Robert-Y]

:S I'm sorry but,the answer to that question is sorta easy, the point of this thread to ask questions which are hard to answer but not impossible to find the answer.

Why do smart people ask dumb questions?

2x2x2 has 4 stickers on each face

2^3 = perfect cube.

The number of stickers does not influence the objects shape either.

(If you are referring to me well...) I like discussing the answers to stupid questions, don't know why, they're just interesting to me

Edit: if it was a 3x3x3 and it did not have 9 stickers (assuming each facelet is stickered) on each face, then it wouldn't be a cube. The 2x2x2 already satisfies A).

Which method of solving the 3x3 has the best overall average of every cuber who uses it.

EDIT: Another way to ask it would be: Which method has the highest % of sub-20 solvers?

Fridrich.

How many different twisty puzzles are there in the world?

 

[abr71310]

Seventeen (I might be "leaving out" some Fisher puzzles, but it's 17 as far as I'm concerned. ).

Why is there more than enough food to go around in the world, but people still die of starvation?

Bad distribution.

Why are the japanese so crazy but not in a bad way?

That's where the smart answer comes in. Most people interested in cubing use the fridrich method. But since it's so popular, it has a higher chance of having the WR solve time (which it does). But what % of them are sub-20? Less popular methods like Roux and ZZ usually consist of more advanced cubers, and I'm almost positive that a higher % of them can manage a sub-20 solve.

ZBF2L.

Everyone that I'm aware of who mastered full ZBF2L can easily sub-20, if not sub-15.
Or MGLS. Only Justin Adsuara and Lucas Garron officially adopted the whole system and both are sub-20, if not sub-15.

Oh right, I didn't read the question properly :S.

What's the biggest sustainable and twistable cube that can be made on earth?

 

[maxcube]

6x6. A 7x7 has to be pillowed, so it cant be an "official" cube.

Wrong, non-pillowed cubes over 6x6 are possible, they just need to be kinda "extended" so it really makes a cube.
