Rubik's Cube with Chopsticks

[somerandomkidmike]

How many of you have tried this? Does anybody have any tips on how I can improve my times when solving with chopsticks? I already have a VERY loose cube, so that should not be a problem. Anybody who has tried this, can you post what times you have got. Any tips would be appreciated.

uber-lube it

 

[somerandomkidmike]

yeah i did that.... it's so loose that it pops even when I use chopsticks sometimes =P

That's a little scary o_o

What method do you use? When you move things that slowly Fridrich simply has too many moves...

 

[somerandomkidmike]

I use Petrus or the keyhole method with LL edge control. I can't really use my main method because it is corners first.

Ok. You've crossed the fetish line. Feet was bad enough.

Oh I don't know, I was just mentioning what was done previously, haha.

This is crazy. What next? Solving a cube upside-down, underwater, blindfolded, wearing gloves and using your tongue? O.o

That made me burst out laughing.
Its true.
One handed, I can see- it IS hard to go fast, its a demonstration of dexterity that is pretty incredible.
But FEET? CHOPSTICKS?

Really now.

and chopsticks... using your tongue

 

[somerandomkidmike]

It's actually really fun. My times are about twice the time of my one-handed right now.

A mouth only solve would be extremely popular on youtube. Also, extremely disturbing.

i will do a 2x2 solve BLD with mouth...maybe BLD...it might rotate weird though...

I like this activity!
I haven't done it in a long time. I was averaging barely under a minute using only hands and a little over 3 min using chopsticks almost a year ago.
Famwealth cubes are awesome for this. I guess I'll loosen a DIY all the way and try this again someday.

It would be awesome if you could put the whole thing in your mouth and spit it out solved 3 minutes later.

Currently there are feet competitions, what will happen 10~20 years later? chopstick, upside-down, tongue, mouth, ear, nose, arm-pit??????????

Nose has already been done. Hair would be better.


anyway....I can't turn my cube with a chopstick...

I only do this with my 2x2, but my trick is that I hold the chopsticks at the very end, so it is almost like I am hitting the cube with two fingers.
