What is the best skill you possess that makes you stand above the average person?
It was my eldest that got me going actually. He came home from school with the old shit cube he had, did 3 turns on it and said “There, I solved it Dad.”
I said “Did you fuck. Who sorted that for you?” and he told me a kid at school was just asking everyone if they had a cube and to bring it in to school, so he did and the kid solved it for him.
I thought “If a 12 year old can do it, so can I” and used it to help with my Reddit withdrawals.
I’ve finally got a magnetic cube now and just have it in my pocket. I’m trying to improve my F2L speed where you put the corners in and the 2nd layer at the same time. I really like doing the last layer with algorithms, it’s like magic.
When you look up how to solve them, it’s a white cross (so the white would be the first layer), making sure your middle tile of the cross pieces match the middle of the sides (red green blue orange), then you put the corners of the bottom (white) layer in, matching the colours. The middles don’t move so you then put in the corners of the middle layer, completing 2 layers.
The top layer is the yellow one, opposite the white layer.
See the icebergs?
Yeah magnetic cubes!
They have little magnets in the corner pieces so when you push, it stops in the right place.
There’s also maglev cubes that have magnetic cores. I just have corner magnets ATM because EVRI ARE A DOGSHIT DELIVERY COMPANY but that’s another story for another time
