[UWR] 128x128x128 solve

Nah, my laptop would burn up just trying to download IsoCubeSim.
That's the challenge, though. Finding a circumstance where you can actually attempt the puzzle, and not giving up just because it takes forever. We all know that solving a 128 layer cube is pretty easy conceptually. That is not, and never has been, the challenging part of solving a really big cube. If qq ever gets some competition, maybe he'll start actually speedsolving them and spend 3 straight days solving. :p

As long as your computer doesn't try to shut down the cube simulator every week, you can repeatedly spend a short amount of time over a long period and it wouldn't feel like much of a challenge.
 
Thanks Chris! I hope some people can find some of the stuff I posted useful, perhaps other people who want to solve something big. Even 20x20x20 is a good start.

I feel there should be some sort of rules/time limits for higher order cubes. I could start on a ridiculously massive cube, and spend several hundred hours total time solving it, and if I did it over a long time (say year), it wouldn't really be too much effort.
Well, that's the point, isn't it? It's partially a contest of who is willing to put the most time into it, although of course it's also partially skill-based since being faster will save a lot of time. If it was so easy to spend a couple hundred hours on a single solve, I can only assume it would've been done a few times by now.

Haha, no way. I would worry about getting some kind of repetitive stress injury. Maybe there's some way to avoid that, but I'm not an expert on this stuff. And there's no competition anyway. For now, the biggest cube I'd consider doing in one sitting is a 50x50x50 or so.
