Rubik's Bomb???

[Cubie Newbie]

Have you ever heard of anyone putting bomb in a Rubik's cube to try to kill a speedcubing enemy?

Or of someone lighting a vaseline lubricated cube on fire?:confused:

 

[badmephisto]

if you wanted to kill someone, I'm sure hiding a TINY and VERY LIGHT high-tech bomb into someone's rubik's cube would be a way to go.

Aside from a bomb, I've always thought; if you need to bring something illegal, for say drugs (powder cocaine for instance), you can hide it in a Rubik's Cube. I mean who ever thinks of looking in it? Yeah I know the problem with the dogs and stuff, just an idea though lol.

lol i was just thinking today about a rubik's cube bomb that would go off if it wasnt solved in less than x seconds... haha i imagined a scenario in my head where the government had to call in a bunch of top speedcubers to save the day...

lol thats what i think about as i go through airport security

First, that all depends upon how carefully you'd be scrutinized. I wouldn't recommend hiding something in your Rubik's cube and then going through airport security. They'll pick it up right away in the x-ray machines. I have some very funny airport security stories I could tell you - of course, I was entirely innocent every time. Still, I wouldn't want to try to get anything past them. Besides, you couldn't hide enough of anything illegal inside a Rubik's cube to make it worthwhile.

"Alright: When we remove the cube from its isolated anti-detonation casing in the ground, you have exactly 20 seconds to solve it, or else everything within 100 meters will be devastated. There can be no pre-inspection. Okay, we'll leave you here and move 500 meters away now..."

 

[Dene]

hehe, yea, he should be able to run 100 meters in 20 seconds. If you weren't allowed to run, I'd be screwed ^^

 

[badmephisto]

yea that would be funny
also keep in mind that the terrorists probably didn't think to lube the cube

And itll probably be a store bought cube that nobody has tuned up!

 

[badmephisto]

also what if the terrorists had to pop an edge to insert the bomb, and accidentally put the edge back the wrong way? They wouldn't know that's unsolvable!

 

[Dene]

Or maybe, it's a huge consipracy, and they intentionally made it impossible to solve, just so that they could blow up Jason, because the person who planted the bomb was actually his arch-nemesis, Harris Chan!

 

[Leo]

But then what if the 3x3 is just a distraction while it's really a 4x4 that has the bomb!

 

[Cubie Newbie]

What if Olympicube/V-Cube is really a group of evil scientists bent on blowing up the WCA?

 

[Leo]

With so many people looking forward to them, its genius!

The moment those big cubes are introduced into competitions, who knows what'll happen!!!
