The power of perception

[Pokerizer]

I just started cubing a few months ago and like most everyone I started with a 3x3. So recently I started on 4x4 and while it's defiantly a learning process it's coming along.

Now I went back to my 3x3 and I feel like I got a mini one lmao. All the finger tricks that we're awkward are now do much simpler and my look ahead has improved. I know that now my 3x3 will never feel the same again.

Wait until you get a 7x7. It will Blow. Your. Mind.

AKA the "why is my cube concave??" effect

Play with a 2x2.

Get a megaminx.

Get a megaminx.

Yea don't need my head to explode just yet

Despite appearances, the megaminx isn't much harder than a 3x3 and can be solved using mostly the same methods. You just have to adapt some of the algorithms for 5 sides instead of 4.

I was actually thinking this was a megaminx lol

teraminx is basically the 4x4 of the megaminx xD

I just did this, played about on my 5x5 and boom, easy sub 20 on 3x3...but then 5 mins later I was back up to my normal 23 second averages :/

No.
It's the 7x7.

That is a gigaminx (not a teraminx, like PeelingStickers suggested).

Since I switched to a SS 7x7x7, the "concave cube" effect went away. But I recall it quite distinctly.

What amazes me is the huge difference in size between a Zhanchi 57mm and their 55mm.

At this point I can't even conceive of using anything smaller than my 57mm ZhanChi.

I meant if you see the megaminx as the 3x3 of the dodecahedron world, then the teraminx is the 4x4 as it's one level higher, however I was wrong about that anyway, as the teraminx is two layers higher xD

They screwed up the name scheme.
What would make sense?

Kilominx
Megaminx
Gigaminx
Teraminx

How is it made?

Megaminx
Kilominx
Gigaminx
Teraminx

Megaminx

It's actually

Kilominx
Megaminx
Master Kilominx
Gigaminx
Teraminx

Kilominx is the 2x2 (corners only) minx. Master Kilominx is the 4x4

Sooo just got thread jacked lmao
