"speed cube"

[Mr.Ducky]

Alright alright we need to figure out how to solve the 1×1 speed cube because not only is the 1×1 going famous but its oalso becoming speedy so we gotta figure out a method to solve it
Many people say yea yea this aint solvable its always solved and others say just put green face infront of you to solve it
But what if what if we figured out a way to solve it different? Like maybe we scramble it and put randoom face infront, and you gotta somehow do or its jsut M and U moves where you figure out how to solve it and each face gives you a scramble of imagination idk im out of ideas what do you think we should do

i would say do 3 moves (in this case rotations) minimum then end with green front white top
and the 3 moves cannot end with greenfront white top

edit: no inspection ofc

Interesting idea beratha but we would need some randoom dude trying to tell him how to do it similar to the wca event thats being talked on maybe we just pit the 1×1 instead of 3×3 the thing with doing what tou said is because its gonna go from yea this fube is so easy to oh god why is this luck based

Actually, it’s make 2 moves max to solve a rotation.
I can make a thread explaining it if you want.

Thread '1x1x1 2-simul | How to get into any position into needed position in 2 rotations'

Jun 12, 2026

So I keep seeing 3 rotations to get to a position sometimes. My honest opinion, its very easy to find a 2-rotation solution only! Here is how it works

Step 1: Check how many rotations it takes
Let's use poles to help us find out this case. A pole are 2 opposite centers placed in a specific position, that doesn't cahnge when a specific rotation is done. Poles are named after the rotation that doesnt change its place. There is the x-pole, y-pole, and z-pole.
For example, x-poles are named that because the position doesn't change when you do a x move.
Now compare the needed state to...

We should make 1×1 competitions

 

[acrystal]

We should make 1×1 competitions

i mean, idk that would be weird but rad
1x1 was held in unoronothodox blocks 2025 and 2026

 

[Mr.Ducky]

Should be avg of 5 focued, (obviously doing singular highest is going to be in the 0.0s, so anyway itll be focused more on reflexes and instant thinking, where the dude has no idea how the 1×1 looks like and then he has to hold the timer and the second he sees the 1×1 he has to start and try to solve it as fast as he can (this makes it a bit more fair and kinda hard but not)

hm i think i learnt a method back in the day consisteing of 897 algs and 12 steps.

brother 1-look is 23 ALGS and 2 MOVES

why one look when you can twelve look and admire the cube more

 

[Jared Burkhart]

Green front. White top. This is the solved position.
But is scrambled and cuber has no inspection time to solve (discussed already)
This is the best option to me.
And ao5 is decent also.
It sounds cool!

basic definition of excuse btw

why is that tho?

 

[Jared Burkhart]

why is that tho?

If they inspect it, they are already rotating it. This results in an early start and is not timed. The cuber would then have to just pick it up and mindlessly set it down. Inspecting it is cheating in this case. It would show real skill to include inspection with the solve

i found the rules

1x1
Judge Puts 1x1 into cube cover and shakes it.
The cube cover is then placed on the mat covering the 1x1 without the competitor seeing the 1x1.
Competitor starts timer and lifts cube cover (no inspection).
Competitor must reorient the puzzle to white top green front and stop the timer with the puzzle both touching the mat and the timer (the green face should be touching the timer).

Exactly!
@Mr.Ducky see this! It is real!

We should make competition

We should make competition

I and some.of my friends are planning to launch one in August 1 and are busy making the arrangements.
You can though! I would be happy to try it a little bit!

 

[Mr.Ducky]

You know, everyone keeps talking about the 1×1 rubiks cube, but have you ever seen the 1×1 peraminx?
My personal record for puting green front: 0.2 but can get faster
