New 5x5x5 and 6x6x6 Review

Hi Gunnar,

My initial estimate on the limits of the 6x6x6 was 3:30. I think that is pretty reasonable. I am not sure what Per will be able to achieve with his method though. Perhaps even faster. I am still sticking with 3:30 though.

I suppose that the main change is the lenght of the centers.

I mean, for the edges, there is only one extra piece to find and add to the others (using a centers-first method of course). But as for the centers, that's like 16 more pieces PER CENTER.


As for Per and his cage method, I don't have any idea. :D

Beside the fact that it was amazing, easy to turn, and a very nice puzzle, what was special with this puzzle ? :D
 
Hi guys :D

My very first idea about timesd on the 6x6x6 was that a lucky time of about 3:00 should be possible. Counting the number of pieces and scaling ip from Ron's 1:32 on 5x5x5 i still think a sub 3 minutes should be possible. As for average it's a different matter. It would depend on a lot of factors, like design durabilty (no one will be really fast on it without considerable practice), whether it's gonna be black or white .. and so on ... I assume that average sub 4:00 is very possible ;) Frank already was averaging about 5:40 on a white plastic version with weird colors after only about 10-15 solves B)

frank,
i watched the vids of you solving the 5x5 and 6x6. had you lubed those already or is that how they are out of the box?

any word on when these will be available?
 
AvGalen: The stickers on the on the olympic cube 5x5 is the very close to the size of cubesmith's universal stickers. The 6x6 stickers are smaller. Replacement stickers will only be needed if people can't adjust to their color scheme. The quality of their stickers is very good.

raoul st. texas: The cubes that I used in those videos did have lubrication. However, on one of the 5x5 cubes that was given to me, I was able to beat my PB average on the first attempt, with no lube or modification. Of course, with silicon, it was much better. I do not know when the puzzles will be available, and all I can say, is that it will be sooner as opposed to later. Trust me, it will be worth the wait.

So for an olympic cube 5x5x5 I could use the same stickers I have for the EastSheen 5x5x5 and Rubiks 5x5x5.

I would like to get a more exact size of the 6x6x6 stickers though. My guess would be between 0.7 and 0.8 centimeters. I like all my cubes to have exactly the same stickers and I am going to buy at least three of the 6x6x6.

For more insight why I would like to know the size of the stickers: http://s12.invisionfree.com/rubiks/index.p...dpost&p=4546843

P.S. I really hope we can buy Olympic Cubes at the EC next month!
