My grandfather wants to see an event where you get a srambled cube and try to make your cube look exactly like it as fast as you can

We should make this a fake official event, and have n00bs perform it at the same time as, say 7x7.speed-scrambling
Mirror blocks isnt exactly shapeshifting
I'd add ghost cube
Total BLD mirror blocks. Timer starts, lift the cover, solve the cube, stop timer.
thought solving. the competitor is given a 3x3 scramble, paper and a pencil, and no cube. he/she must write the solution out on the piece of paper. the competitor to submit a correct solution the quickest wins. you could also do a fmc like this i suppose.
however, im not sure that this would fit into a cubing competition. because there isnt a physical puzzle thats being solve... but clock is a thing so i dont see why not
That would be basically impossible
Yes it is...
The shape... shifts.
Well yeah, but its not like a 4x4x2 or something, because really its just a 3x3 with different shapes
That would be basically impossible besides inversing the scramble and just maybe slightly modifying the scramble you have infront of you. And even that, there probably isn't many people who know how to do it (Really good Fewest move solvers, maybe)
No it wouldn't. It would take time though. The way I would do it is:
First I would choose 1-2 pieces at the time and track in my mind move by move where those pieces would be if you apply the scramble on solved cube.
Then I would write down the places that pieces end up and start over and choose different piece(s) to track this time.
And just repeat until you have location of all the pieces written down.
(note that it would take me a LONG time and would be very frustrating and irritating )
After that it's all easy because now you have the starting state of the cube written down somehow.
Next I would just find a piece that is at my edge buffer position and then go through the cycles from there and translate that to normal 3BLD memo (which I can even write down on paper)
Then just write down a normal BLD solution based on that memo.
Quite easy actually but very time consuming and frustrating
This seems more like a table game you would do with friends between events than an actual official event.
I've never been to a comp though. What do you guys do between events? If my friends come with me to Nats we will probably to team relays or something.
