So I went to this place where they lock you in a room of puzzles and you have to get out. They had one of these in the lobby and I solved it

Ah, mirror cubes. I have one of these. Just solve it like a normal 3x3, if you know that algorithm. :)

Put it in a bowl of rice and leave it overnight. The Asians will come fix it.

That's literally what I did with mine. 2 years now, I've had an "interesting piece of movable art" on my coffee table.

My husband has one of those (or dozens, I'm not sure). He can solve in in about 40 seconds. I hate him.

We once played a round of munchkin in which we all ended teaming up against this one kid and all reached L10 while nuking him back to 1.

Hah, I saw that too. Almost as good at destroying friendships as Mario Party.

My friend literally had a seizure from Munchkin rage. I laugh now but it was super serious at the time. Beware the rage this game causes.

This is actually super cool. Where did you get it?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You can buy them online cheaply these days. Look up "mirror cube" :) (also, same solving algorithm as normal, just use thick blocks as base)

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ok ok I really want one. Just to fuck with, never intending to make it a cube again.

I feel like, as long as they're 3x3x3, they use the same algorithms... it's just harder to identify sides because no easy to recognize color

It's called a Maze Cube, but you'll have to search one out yourself.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Eh, at least with that one you can learn what each side looks like (or use a photo), with the OP you cant simply use standard algorithms 1/2

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

OP's is actually as easy as a regular cube, you just have to look at the sizes instead of the colors

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Being able to tell at a glance Size vs. color/pattern is a very different thing. And Size is much harder.

Trust me, OPs cube is easier than the maze fucker.

to solve it, as the way you hold and turn it keep changing.

I dropped it last yeah, and never bothered to put it back together. Now I'm sad because a corner is missing.

I'd just draw out each cublet surface, and then try to form a cube net with the cubelet surface pieces like a jigsaw.

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Then, you can assign colours to each cubelet, and work out which colours you have by looking at their position and referencing the net.

This looks intimidating but I believe that the same algorithm that solves a normal (multicolored) Rubik's cube would solve this.

10 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

It's exactly the same as solving a normal cube, takes a bit longer but it's no more difficult really

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I guess so if you designate one figure as the center instead of the color

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Picture of regular rubiks cube: "lol i can never do these." Picture of weird cube: "Lol, just solve it like a regular cube, so easy."

Me and a couple friends were baked and I saw a 3x3 in the corner of the room, the look on their faces when I solved it was priceless

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

This is actually solved like a regular rubiks cube just different shapes instead of different colours

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I'm color blind and can't solve a normal rubiks cube. I feel like this at least gives me a chance.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I can solve a normal Rubik's cube in less than 45 seconds easily, and just looking at this makes my brain hurt.

10 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 1

It's the same as solving a 3x3x3 cube. The only difference is the squares different sizes....

10 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

I'm pretty sure 45 seconds is close to the world record

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 6

Not even close, the world record is now 4.9 seconds as of November 21 I believe 45 seconds is not even a competitive time in speed cubing

same algs to solve then?

10 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

They aren't that hard actually. You just have to use shape instead of color. I always have trouble with the last layer though.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Solved one of these at a Rubik's Club. It took some thinking to wrap my head around looking at edge lengths rather than colors.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

It's virtually the same as a color cube, just a bit different conceptually.

Do you guys solve 3x3s? May I be so bold as to ask you-guyses times?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The times I've actually timed myself my best is 34 seconds but on average 40-50ish

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

moves more than what moves you are making in the moment

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Cool! What method do you use?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

my average is from 35-45 ish but with a last layer skip and good f2l i think i got around 25 seconds as my best

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The thing that helped me the most was actually solving it slower and really focusing on the look ahead. Try to focus on the upcoming 1/?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

that's really good, just need to keep practicing those algorithms to get quicker
