Cubing Fun Facts

[averageyjfan]

For some dumb reason, I can average 29 seconds using the beginner method on 3x3.

that sounds good, but you can simple post things like this on your profile

Yeah, no need for a whole topic, that isn’t even a fun fact.

Interesting tag, and like the others have said; this probably should've been a profile comment.

I once got a 15.12 with full Beginners method lol(I even did Daisy to solve cross and I didn't use any beginner CFOP). Maybe it's just the best method and nobody's noticed.

I feel like I can definitely average sub-20 maybe even sub-15 with LBL

I used to use a mix of cfop and beginners. It was cfop but with beginners last layer. I got an 18 but it was handscramble bc at the time i didnt know notation

We should change this thread to be about cubing fun facts, just to make it so it’s not a redundant thread!

Fun Fact: Erno Rubik, a Hungarian professor of architecture created his cube as a way to demonstrate the movements of 3-dimensional figures to his students. It wasn't until he'd put different patterns and colors onto each faces and made multiple turns that he realized he'd actually created a puzzle. He spent over a month on the first solve. At times, even he thought that solving it may have been impossible. After completing the solve, he decided to try and get it mass produced as a toy/puzzle. Once he found a producer willing to produce, promote and sell his puzzle, people were amazed by it. Rubik's Cube became an immediate hit, something almost everyone had to get their hands on and try to figure out. To this day, it remains the best selling toy of all time!

Fun Fact: the gap between 5x5 and 6x6 is crazy. the 5x5 was invented in 1981 vs 2005 for the 6x6.

fun fact: Hundsrian is the only Indo'-European based language that
We Don't Know Where It Comes From.

seriously
Hungarian doesn't trace back tk any known languages

We know it's part of the uralic language family, being distantly related to languages such as finnish and estonian. we have several proposed hypothesis for the origin of proto-uralic, so i wouldnt say its completely unknown

v-cube moment

@averageyjfan could you change the title of the thread to "Cubing Fun Facts" or something of the like. Or @abunickabhi if, having moderation abilities, are able to.

I highly doubt Rubik ever deemed it possible to be impossible to solve any legal state. He would have certainly known that any state you can produce from the solved state has to be solvable or else it would not have been possible to get there in the first place.

Potentially worded poorly on my part. Obviously he knew that it could somehow be returned to a solved state. However, during that month, he had moments where he was very frustrated and thought that he may never be able to accomplish it.

Yeah if you take off the orange center cap it says "Gan: Designed in California made in China"
