Cubing

[Kozak]

I just ordered 3 cubes, a 2x2x2 stickerless speedcube, a 3x3x3 concave stickerless cube. and a regular stickerless 3x3x3(NewIsland).
Anyone else play with Cubes or Cuboids? if so what cubes do ya got? (as there are several thousand diferent types of cuboids/cubes out there.)

 

So if you don't you're probably wondering what the heck i just said, basically like this:

A 2x2x2 stickerless speecube is a rubiks cube, but instead of being 3 squares by 3 squares, it's 2 by 2. and it turns REALLY fast.

a Concave cube is a cube that caves inward towards the middle... here lemme grab a video on a concave cube:

there ye go.

And a 3x3x3 stickerless cube is a rubiks cube just without stickers. the one i got is also a speedcube. (solving cubes in under 10 seconds is actually possible.)

Oo! I do cubes!

I have cubes all the way from 1x1 (yes, I have a 1x1 because without it my cube tower would be incomplete) to 7x7, a Pyraminx, a Megaminx, a 2x2x3 cuboid, and some duplicates, like 3 different Rubik's brand 3x3s. My best time on 3x3 is 11 seconds, on 2x2 is just over 2.6 seconds. I average about 20 seconds on 3x3. I'm ok at solving big cubes, but terrible at speedcubing them. I also have a 3^4 app on my phone, but I never quite managed to understand the last step to solving it though.

Is this thread a trap to catch the wild cubinator in it's natural habitat? Because it worked.

yey a cuber! (I don't feel as though i can call myself one yet since i can barely remember how to solve even the middle layer. and have to look at written algorithms to solve...)

 

I'm surprised nobody else on the forums cube though, usually KSP'ers love puzzles like these.

 

EDIT: Also, i dare ye to buy a concave cube and try to put it on top of your cube tower (on top of the 1x1, i dont think it'd work anywhere else, unless you have a pillowed cube to put it under)

I'm sure I have a junky Rubik's cube somewhere, remaining in a scrambled state.

Breaking news! Stickerless cubes are now competition legal! I'm gonna sign up for one once i can actually solve a cube without looking at written down algorithms.

They've actually been legal since like July. And it would be really easy to put a concave cube between my 7x7 and 6x6 as they are much bigger than a 3x3. But I'll pass because my Moyu Weilong works just fine for me (might have to get some new stickers in a few months though...)
