Through a colored lens...

[Lorenzo]

Has anyone here successfully solved a Rubik's Cube looking through a colored lens, like a red lens, or a very intense red light? (without peeking of course)

I find that looking through it makes all the colors look the same and it makes it very hard, yet for some reason it is fun. Maybe because it is not the usual?

So post if you have, and post an AO5 or 12 if you really want to.


BLD would be hell...

Not if you're Mike Hughey, RIGHT MIKE?

well, the lights in my dorm are a very bright yellow, so they make white, orange, and yellow look very similar, and I've solved in that condition

I found it nearly impossible to solve under a red light. Red, orange, white, and yellow all look similar, as do blue and green.

When I'm solving in in the dark, I tend to compare sticker shades to the centre pieces I think they belong to. I think this would work when solving through a lens as well.

Heh.

Yeah, I guess I've gotta try it; I'll let you know how it goes. (I'm sure it will be a disaster, but hey - when did that stop me before?)

I have tried solving through an intense color. Does looking through a red balloon count? I didn't time myself when I did this, but it was probably around 1 min.

None of the lights in my house are different colored. I should try with my 3D glasses.

I've tried solving under a yellow light. I had a lot of trouble seeing what was what.

I can't tell if this is off-topic, but it does have something to do with visualization
I'm looking at the green side of a Cubesmith half bright set on my 2x2 and was wondering if I can you THAT as a green-screen. it does seem to be a color furthest from the color of human skin. If so, could blue as well? I don't mean to hijack this thread and stat a new topic, just a simple answer if you know.

Im going to try it while wearing those old-fashoned red and blue 3D glasses.
