I would like to remind you that before modern cube companies took over shengshou was literally the best you could get in just about everything except for 2x2 and 3x3. Their 4-7 cube lineup was used for years as well as their megaminx. Their square-1 was one of the best before the Qiyi. Also, they were one of the first to make a skewb after the event got added and their pyraminx saw lots of use before the moyu and qiyi came out.
What does it mean when a person is forcing a cube?AWWW MAN
Only 288 apiece for anybody planning to make force cubes lmao
Force cube. It's when you make a cube that's faces are all the same colour.
I heard that CSH is gonna do like 12 of them for the teraminx. Why would you want to do that?
to get views probably
That is just pointless!!
Well, views do get you money. But I agree that idea is kinda stupid.
The revenue will hardly cover 10 percent of the cost honestly
True. But it's a CSH kind of thing to do.
Well, it depends on the ad views, so about 2 to 3 cents per view
Yeah. The sad thing is, as the RS showed, they could be making it way cheaper.
MonsterGO 3x3 (Magnetic)
MonsterGO is a new educational line of puzzles from the popular manufacturer GAN. Similar to GAN, all of the puzzles in the MonsterGO line have the distinct GAN honeycomb design on the interior of the pieces to aid feel and evenly distribute lube. The MonsterGO 3x3 (Magnetic) is a fantastic...www.thecubicle.com
Twenty dollars for a cube that eveyone admits Is not even good for top solvers. I wish I could give GAN the benefit of the doubt, but that's pretty inexcusable. There are definitely cheaper puzzles that likely perform way better than this.
Yeah, it's practically a dollar.
Hmm, wondering if people might just buy another when their's pops.AWWW MAN
Only 288 apiece for anybody planning to make force cubes lmao
Calm down, kids. It's done to make stickered big cubes.
They're unique and collectible, competition legal, and are one of the ways to make stickered cubes if the manufacturer released only the stickerless version.
Were you the one who made those force 12x12x12 meilongs?Wrt this discussion about force examinxes and the price of doing that. I won't be outright quoting myself because I wrote A LOT of text there so it would clutter the page here, but I wrote up a detailed analysis of cost and other associated risks.
TL;DR:
- don't buy from Cubezz, buy from ZiiCube or arrange a private deal with the manufacturer (through a third party?)
- it will take you 31-39 hours if you do everything perfectly; for an NxN minx the lower bound in minutes is 14.666 * N^2 + 9.667 * N - 5.9333
- but the time spent on labor is the least of your concern - import taxes, regulations on toys (for customs), shipping during the pandemic, and of course the overall cost (roughly $3000 upfront) is way more important
Here's that detailed writeup at page 81 of this thread.
Jokes aside, actually yeah, that's kind of the point.
Ok, let’s see if CSH holds up
Actually, Grégoire Pfennig (Greg's Puzzles) - the designer of Yuxin Multi Cube, 3D printed 33x33x33, etc - recently released a video talking about exactly these things. View counts, the workload of running a puzzle channel, scammy facebook pages stealing views, ads on videos, monetization claims, the whole nine yards.
