I'm a casual cuber. like rubik's style. three-by-threes. over last summer, I learned how to solve a basic 3x3 cube (link, Wired on YT) and it's been pretty rewarding as a tactile thinking hobby. I've been collecting cubes this year and I've been really enjoying myself.
I haven't been interested in the speed but I play with my cubes like every day...
... until I saw a new speedcubing category:
2 beers, 2 cigs, 2 cubes
presenting footage in the order that I experienced them:
new pb on 2x2… CAN I GET A BLOODY WHOOP WHOOP?!?
mathpost o clock
I've been thinking about rubiks cubes and their various permutations lately
I got some variants for Christmas like the silly triangle one (pyraminx), whatever the FUCK this is (this was originally a cube.)
and the other usual cube puzzles (even got the doecahedron/megaminx)
and trying out the different puzzles combined with remembering that one visualization of the actual mechanics of a rubiks cube (like it had rings that dots moved on n stuff if anyone knows where that visualization is can I have it please I love it so much) got me thinking about the properties of a rubiks cube style puzzle, if you twist a corner is it still solvable? and other things like fhat
what would have to change about the rubiks cube to change one property and nothing else (kinda like defining a puzzle by its properties like you can define a plane by 3 points or a line by 2)
I'm so glad I decided to not look up how to solve the original 3x3 because not only was it an extremely fun journey it's also taught me a lot about how the rubiks cube works that I just wouldn't have learned by looking it up
I know I need to rest my hands but I can’t stop
i love speedcubing but i hate when theres an alg that i def know but i dont use it so often so when it does come up i only know how to do it from muscle memory but the muscles are not remembering
new pb! i got a lucky scramble though since the yellow cross was already done and i didn’t have to fix the corners
