The Weirdest Puzlle of All

[Human Cuber]

Hey guys, I would like to know why this cube is not included in WCA?
I'm not familiar with WCA do give me some responds if you know why?
Kindly appreciate!

Nice clickbait!

Do make more cubing videos.

Reason: Not made By Rubik's Or The WCA just doesn't want to include it.

ohhh is that true, tqq so much. I thought is just because nobody is actually playing it. Anyway tq so much for your reply!

this is not 'twisty' it is pushy. it is also not methodical, which is also why the 15 puzzle is not an event.

glad thanks a s well. Which means every cube need to be twisted but not push or swivel only can be categories as wca is it?

"the cube"
The puzzle is actually a sphere...

I don't think either of these are that close to the real reasons. There are multiple puzzles in the WCA that aren't made by Rubik's, and Clock isn't really "Twisty" either. (Also 15 puzzle is methodical, but that's beside the point). In reality, the rainbow ball actually was a WCA puzzle (as in, it was held as an event in competitions) at one point, back when competitions were first starting and there was no hard-set event list.

Someone with more knowledge about the WCA and the early days of cubing would be better equipped to tell you why it was removed and why it isn't in the WCA now, and that's definitely not me, so I'll leave it to someone else to explain


Tl;dr: Idk, but the above reasons probably are wrong

wow , appreciate a lot for writing such a long statement. that's why, because imp not so familiar with wca and hope someone from the early days could probably tell me why! thank you so much anyway.

Just did a google search and rainbow ball was an event. Maybe the WCA removed it so they were not that much events for the staff.

ohhh which mean it had been on wca, but it just took it down onwards! hmmmm, interesting. Tq as well!

 

[hellocubers]

Maybe that's also why magic was removed

ajajahahahhaha

hi abunic, seems you have more experience in wca, do you have any idea why? Do share if it's possible!

Actually, while the rainbow cube was an event, I don't believe the rainbow ball was ever an event.

The rainbow cube (not such a good name, since it's not a cube ) was an event only at the very beginning of the WCA, before specific events were locked in.

finally, a profession on WCA could probably give me a more accurate answer. Thanks a lot! But is there any chances to make them back to wca?

 

[hellocubers]

Maybe not since we're just cubers and not board members.

Probably not. The rainbow cube is mechanically equivalent to a dino cube (one’s a shapemod of the other). By today’s standards, dino cube is way too simple and fast to be an event, which means rainbow cube would be too.

 

[hellocubers]

I kinda agree on the message above.

ohhh no wonder, is very simple but I don't think we can solve in less than 10.Is too hard to push around!
