Cubing Fun Facts

[Lord_Oscar]

weren't there more removed events?

I believe so. 3x3x3 no inspection was removed in 2008 or 2009. I think that Siamese cube was removed, but I'm unsure when, assuming it got added in the first place.

Africa (& Antarctica ig) is the only continent that doesn't have a sub 4 single CR
And the Democratic Republic of Congo is the only country with NR of over 1 minute.
3x3 btw

I’m very sure other countries have > 1:00 3x3 NR’s

Voidlord is correct for single

The amount of possible combinations of a 6x6 Is bigger than the amount of atoms in the observable universe

 

[CubeLite]

Roughly, 0.0625% (MITCH) of anyone who knows how to do the Rubik's has went to a WCA comp, that is only 0.003125% of the worlds population

Fun fact: The Rubik's cube is a cube

no it isn't... it is a cube-like shape composed of 21 pieces with correlating flat aurfaces to form pseudo-planes making each side aplear as one... but it's not

Fun fact: the 2x2x2 cube is unsolvable if you twist a single corner. However, its 4 dimensional sister, the 2x2x2x2 might be solvable if you twist a single corner - but it depends on how you twist it! Out of the corner's 12 possible orientations, 4 of them bring the (hyper)cube puzzle into a solvable configuration (including the no-twist move).

Fun fact: Mirror cube is probably the easiest to learn bld because you can just feel the pieces and their sizes. No extremely god-like memory required!

I guess 2x2 mirror is easier but still
