How long would it take you to solve all your cubes if they all got scrambled?

[TheBB]

Your times don't add up d4m4s74. 4:21, and then you solve three 4x4's with a mean time of about 2:30, and you end up with 7:26?

I think I may have forgotten some stuff, but nothing that would take too long, or I would remember it

Total - 1:43:56.49

+ no inspection, 10:00

Total - 1:53:56.49

So round up to 2 hours

 

[Ton]

Well to long , I have to many cubes and if also included other non-cube puzzle like megaminx , Pyraminx so all twisty puzzles

My best guess will be more than 50 hours

 

[gamemeister27]

Lemme see.....one 3x3

Pyraminx crystal

brain racker (booooo)

5x5

Megaminx

2x2

Ufo


I think that's all so.....a few hours just because of the Pyraminx crystal, I only use one 3 edge cycle commutator after I solve the corners and it has a tendency to pop just as I approach finished.

[Novriil]

2x2 - 6 sec
9 3x3's - 180 sec
2 3x3 marus - 60 sec
floppy cube - 10 sec
broken 4x4 - 300 sec
5x5 - 160 sec
megaminx - 240 sec
rubiks 360 - 600 sec
square 1 - 100 sec
skewb - 30 sec
2 snakes - 8 sec
2 pyraminxes - 25 sec (one is very-very bad)
2 magics - 3 sec
master magic - 6 sec
3x3 keychain - 40 sec
rubiks tower (or idk what it actually is.. like a barrel with colored balls in it) - 120 sec
1x1 - 0 sec
mirror blocks - 100 sec

that's it I guess.
Now.. inspection to every inspectable puzzle (excluding snake, magic, master magic and so on) - average inspection time: 10 sec and 23 puzzles: 230 sec

total: 2218 sec = 37 min.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Just actual cubes:
6 5x5x5s: 15:00
2 6x6x6s: 10:00
3 4x4x4s: 4:30
25 3x3x3s: 10:25
3 2x2x2s: :30
So that's 40:25.

But if you include other twisty puzzles, you need to add in:
2 7x7x7s: 15:00
2 Megaminxes: 6:00
4 Pyraminxes: 1:00
2 Square-1s: 2:00
Gigaminx: 30:00
Alexander's Star: 10:00 (out of practice - I assume I could do it in that time or so now)
1:04:00 extra, so 1:44:25.

8-9 hours.
My sig.

I love this answer!

1 3x3x3 = 50 seconds

I'm in the top 7! Woot!

 

[AvGalen]

It would take about 10 hours to thoroughly scramble all my puzzles (not just cubes). Solving them took me the last 4 years, with still some unsolved ones left.

People that keep scrambling things I already solved doesn't help

 

[Edward]

1 4x4 : roughly 2.5 minutes
2 3x3's: roughly 39 sec
1 2x2: roughly 5v seconds

Memories of the end of Bristol...

floppy cube - 10 sec
.

Floppy cube is a lame puzzle and it takes you half the time you take to do the 3x3 and there are only about 40 odd unsolved states which is probably about 10000000% less than 3x3 (exaggeration).

Your math sucks. That is not an exaggeration.

And if you think that the number of possible states and solving speed are that highly related you have to explain why square-1 takes longer than 3x3x3 and why many cubers can't even solve a skewb within a minute

 

[Zubon]

With all the puzzles (not just cubes) I have accumulated over time, I am sure it would take me all day, if not more.

I have always wanted to try to solve my whole collection in one go but I can't seem to find a day that I have time to do it all.

 

[d4m4s74]

whoops, missed a mefferts

 

[blade740]

Oh it does?

 

[MichaelErskine]

I have quite a lot of puzzles and some of them I don't how to solve without some reminders: my Nintendo Ten-Billion Barrel is the one that springs to mind - I have never solved it completely. If I did spend the eight hours it would take me to solve it then I would be sorely tempted to lock it away so nobody could mess it up. But that make my home a little bit less fun: all the puzzles are there for visitors to play with.

 

[Tarik220]

1 x 2x2 = 6 secs
3 x 3x3 = 57 secs
2 x 4x4 = 3.98 mins
1 x 5x5 = 5.32 mins

Total time when attempted: 11.07 mins

 

[MichaelErskine]

I forgot to mention my classic Lament Configuration which remains unsolved. The only time I ever tried it I was relieved to get negative parity. The ebay seller I got it from wasn't so lucky! He didn't want any money for it though, so I'm not complaining

 

[dunpeal2064]

And if you think that the number of possible states and solving speed are that highly related you have to explain why square-1 takes longer than 3x3x3

Oh it does?

I'd say at equivalent skill levels, someone can solve a 3x3 faster than a SQ1, especially if you include parity.
