Where to order 1000 cubes and more?

[Stefan]

either way, I kinda don't believe it anymore

So you seriously believed it at first?

4. Then thats when he convinced Dennis to make a post as well? talking about how it was a secret [...]

You think Dennis needed to be instructed for this?

Obviously this is a way too ridiculous amount, particularly I doubt anyone would do 1000 before 100 (I wouldn't have immediately disbelieved 100, btw).

Curious about what this is really for. I'm guessing it has to do with Christmas and giving cubes to many people.

 

[Simboubou]

Actually, if they had said 100 cubes each, I would have believed it. But 1000 is far too much.

I don't get it, if you are going to BLD 1000 cube, why do you memorize every sticker? Don't you just memorize 11-13 edge stickers and 6-9 corner stickers? Or am I talking about something else?

I don't know. Are you?

 

[mande]

why don't you people hire somebody(ies) to scramble solved (already attempted) cubes.
That way, you won't need as many as 1000 cubes per person.
(Unless you have a weird way of memo such that you need to see all 1000 cubes in the beginning)

You really should learn what multi-bld means.

I get what it means...I do it myself
I meant that once a guy memos a cube, the "scrambler" could rescramble it to the scramble of a later cube, so that you don't need another cube instead (if you get what i mean). When someone is just about to solve a cube, they can rescramble a scrambled cube to the scramble of the to-be-solved cube.
Basically, what I mean is that the scrambler should keep track of all the scrambles.

 

[joey]

lol, I understand what you mean now. It could work, maybe.

 

[mande]

it should work...i mean you could save a 500 cubes or so, if not more.

Of course you might need that much money saved to hire a "scrambler"

LOL, yeah dude?!

1000 Multi BLD? I seriously doubt it.

I don't see that working... "Hey, I forgot an edge on the 376th cube, could you scramble that for me again? Oh wait, maybe it was the 377th..."

Come on. It's way above what a human brain can memorise.
As it has been said, it's above the PiWR, and the guy who memorised those numbers didn't do it in a week. Stop dreaming, it isn't even possible. Now maybe, they just want to try 100 cubes BLD or less.

I mean, if anyone had the potential of memorising 1000 cubes (I mean only memorising, as having all that knowledge in your memory at an instant), wouldn't 24/24 seam ridiculous, suddunly ?
Just think of it... 1000 .... 24 ....

It's like, if someone said do you have a stop watch that could measure precisely to the milliseconds ? Cause I'll run the 100 meters in 2seconds.

 

[pcharles93]

They're not serious. -_-

 

[qqwref]

You're not only solving pieces, you're also solving stickers, so 20+54=74 items per cube.

You should know better than this, Stefan! The information content of 1000 cubes is about 1000*65.2 bits = 65 kbit, whereas the information content of 70000 digits is 70000*3.3 bits = 231 kbit. So it is clearly easier to remember 1000 cubes' worth of information than 70000 digits...

Very wrong...
Think about this, the memory WR for one hour memorization is 1949 decimal digits, or almost 100 cubes' worth of information! Ten times this in a week is WELL within the human capacity for knowledge. I'm not sure that there are multiBLDers out there who can memorize 1000 cubes, but it's definitely possible.

It's like, if someone said do you have a stop watch that could measure precisely to the milliseconds ? Cause I'll run the 100 meters in 2seconds.

Even 24/24 is already MUCH better than what a normal person could do, ask them to remember that much and they would say it is just as impossible as 100 meters in 2 seconds. But Tim did it, in competition no less. Or look at the world record for memorizing a deck of cards, 26.28 seconds! Ask a normal person to remember a deck of cards and it would probably take them an hour or more. Memory sports are one thing where a good practitioner becomes WAY more skilled than a normal person would ever hope or expect to be.

Definitely not!

Don't believe everything people tell you. It's not above the current PI world record.
Anyway, the guy who holds the current pi world record isn't unbeatable...

I mean, if anyone had the potential of memorising 1000 cubes (I mean only memorising, as having all that knowledge in your memory at an instant), wouldn't 24/24 seam ridiculous, suddunly ?
Just think of it... 1000 .... 24 ....

You forget, that there was a time limit for my 24 cubes attempt.

It's like, if someone said do you have a stop watch that could measure precisely to the milliseconds ? Cause I'll run the 100 meters in 2seconds.

Wow, very bad analogy. Try again.

Lol you better go around giving everyone else who believed it this speech also, because i wasn't the only one :rolleyes:

but anyway I only believed it for a short period anyway

 

[joey]

You're saying it like it's not true, it's still up in the air!

 

[Faz]

I can't wait to see where this all leads.

 

[Stefan]

You should know better than this, Stefan! The information content of 1000 cubes is about 1000*65.2 bits = 65 kbit

I hope it was clear I wasn't exactly serious. Now I am, however: When memorizing a cube, the information content per piece does decrease with every eliminated piece, but that's not really how we treat it, is it? So for practical purposes, I suggest 20 * log2(24) = 91.7 bits per cube is a more realistic measure.

 

[qqwref]

Fair enough. But I can see someone inventing a more efficient memory method than that ;-) Too bad there's always a tradeoff between efficiency of compression and ease of information extraction.
