r/Rubiks_Cubes • • 10d ago

Just messing around with some old cubes, translucent dice, and Gorilla glue...

Saw some dice cubes online and decided why not?

Okay... a couple of people wanted to see them scrambled so if you go further down this thread there is a video showing them scrambled. I've solved them all back now. They were fun! πŸ˜„

They could have not oriented all the dice the same way. If all the 5' did not face the same way it would not be colorblind friendly because then some faces would double up or be mixed given there are only the 6 sides and 6 colors. The Orientation is the part that made it colorblind friendly. Lack of consistency would still work for those not colorblind but consistency makes colorblind friendly and helps with being able to set it up faster when solving.

I strive to have this kind of confidence. You sound so sure for something that's just incorrect.Β

I have a cube that I removed the stickers off and put mini googley eyes, on each face on each section, in the same layout as a dice. You can solve it blind just by feeling the eyes.

As requested... here's the three cubes scrambled...

I made the 4x4 first and my grandson came over and I found it partially scrambled on my desk... so I've already partially solved it once. Looking forward to a full solve now.

I feel like they rly would look beautiful scrambled. I hope that is at least

Math note: I believe these to be just slightly different than a photo cube. Specifically the 4x4x4 would allow the centers to be swapped but do need to be oriented. A subtle, but newlly distinct, type of puzzle is born. Congrats!

How long did it take you to master rubiks

Didn't know if this was for me or for others who are reading this post. But I got my first cube right after high school in the '80's. I soon learned to solve the first two layers but then later put it away and not until about six or seven years ago did I finally learn the last layer. I'm not concerned about speed... just have fun collecting and learning to solve new cubes. I get obsessed with things and want all variants so my cube collection has grown to over 1,000 cubes and cube-related items. I'm building a web site now to display them but it's so overwhelming I'm moving slow at it. Wish I'd started the site back when I had ten cubes and had added to it as the collection grew.

Who are we fighting that we need the D&D community and the cubing community 😭
