As an aside, the point at 4:10 also explains why all the world record cubes for a while now have been odd-layered. Because making an even-layered cube necessitates that you have a working design for an odd-layered cube one degree higher. Why make a 16x16 when it requires that you know how to make a 17x17?
@yami_the_witch
@yami_the_witch 2 роки тому
There are also people competing to create the largest even layer cubes. While a bigger number is alluring hiding those center layer in higher order cubes get's increasingly difficult. So it's a feat worth of accolade in it's own right.

I’ve always wondered why bigger cubes had weird pixel sizes. I thought it was so they’d be downward compatible to other cubes, like a 6x6 to be used as a 3x3 without damaging your eyes squinting. Or a 4x4 to a 2x2, a 4x4 also could be synced to 3x3 logic.

J Perm, Thank you so much for explaining this. I remember when Rubik's incorporated cane out and said that the 6x6x6 was practically impossible, and the 7x7x7 was theoretically impossible, so quit asking us. These cubes won't be coming out any time soon. And we waited a quarter of a century! There was another wait between the V-Cube 7x7x7 and the Shengshou 8x8x8, but not as long. This is hard for current cubers to understand when it feels like there is a new larger cube every year. My only complaint about this excellent video is you didn't mention V-Cube's original solution, pillowing. It was Shengshou that made the outside layers larger. And I believe it was Shengshou that had the spherical core. Anyway, thanks for this excellent video!

I had an early 4x4 and it was not like yours inside at all. Inside there was a ball with 3 tee shaped tracks in which the edges ran and the corners ran on the edges. there was some clever shenanigans with blocks in the the tracks that made the ball maintain the proper orientation and not get twisted about one axis relative to the cubes as you demonstrated with the 6x6. It was vey difficult to disassemble and reassemble.

This video and video of disassembling a 4x4 led me to a q if it is possible to create a 6x6 with a sphere core as the one in a rubik's 4x4, but more commonly used in a 2x2. And I already started working on it but first I want to replicate the 2x2 then the 4x4 and then finally try to aply the same sphere core to a 6x6. Now I don't think it's possible but I would love to know and if I get around to do so I'll have an answer. Another crazy idea is to make the corner and edge pieces lock to the surrounding center pieces when it turns. Or make a bigger 6x6 with thin but strong leg. Or magnets with high chance of popping out.

I have a V-Cube 7, 5, 4 and 2 - the V-Cube 5 is my usually go to cube if I just feel like solving a cube. The even number cubes have a parity that can kick in requiring a very complex move which I've never been able to keep memorized for any length of time, while odd number cubes don't have it. I can solve the 7 just fine, but the 5 takes less time and as mentioned above doesn't contain the possibility of the parity problem.

Delilah was able to do it as well, and it wasn’t put together like the other cubes because it’s like a 1x3 or something so it was able to be user as a fidget spinner which is why I call it this. I also got a slider from McDonald’s which you can turn like a normal cube but it has a missing white piece (it’s meant to have a missing white piece) so it can slide too. It has 6 sides, 3 pieces on each side except white, with a missing piece. White looks like this when solved: ⬛️ ⬜️ ⬜️.

You should a video on how many solved positions there are on a 4x4(the center pieces can be in different places)
@GarryDumblowski
@GarryDumblowski 2 роки тому
Well, if you only consider one center, then there should be 24 (4!) different ways to arrange it, since any center piece can go anywhere. If you take into account all of the centers, then, there are 24 possibilites for each of them, meaning there are 24^6 (191,102,976) different solved states. The interesting thing about this is that the same logic applies to even bigger cubes, since they're all sort of laid out in "classes" like this: (here's an 8x8 for example) | A | B | C | D | F | A | | F | G | H | J | G | B | | D | J | K | K | H | C | | C | H | K | K | J | D | | B | G | J | H | G | F | | A | F | D | C | B | A | Any two pieces in the same "Class" can be swapped without unsolving the cube, and notice! There are always 4 of each class. Since the number of pieces on a cube of size 2n is equal to (2n - 2)^2, that means that the number of classes is equal to ((2n - 2)^2)/4. (You can do a bit of simplification to get the formula k = (n - 1)^2, where k is the number of piece classes) Therefore, for any cube of size 2n, there are 24^(6 * (n-1)^2) different solved states, which is interesting because it means the number of solved states is always equal to a power of 24.

Man, this video is amazing. I never understood, because I never thought about, why people made big cubes with big corners pieces. Just thought "probably a weird design choice". Now I get it.

Tell me about it! No matter how hard I try and how many hours I put in, it's practically impossible to build a fully proportional 5x5x3 Rubik's cube! Even using illegal techniques such as an an edge piece folding at 90 degree angle. But even if I accomplish that, if both of the center edge pieces on the 5x5 face are aligned adjacently vertically on a 5x3 face, it cuts the folding edge piece off completely!!

Does anyone else remember getting excited when V Cubes came out in 2008 and we were all excited because it could outperform the eastsheen 5x5? And does anyone else remember gluing pins to the centers of their 6x6 so it wouldn't lock up? And you also had to pay to get them shipped from Greece...

I thought I remembered the original V6 and V7 being pillowed in order to solve the corner problem, am I misremembering? Either way I think it would be worth noting that pillowing is one option instead of making the outermost layers thicker.

Explain something to me, please... J Perm first went at length to meticulously elaborate why a 6x6 is impossible, assuming standard cube designs which were dominant until that time... However he then shows the 6x6 by V-Cube... ....which uses the EXACT same OUTWARD design as previous 3x3/4x4... ....as opposed to the "mandatory" *BIGGER CORNERS* design, which J Perm had just explained was the only possible way a 6x6 could be built. What the fuuuck...

My first 4x4 cube had a spherical core with grooves along the axes that the pieces slid along.
@rcgldr
@rcgldr 4 місяці тому
The original 4x4x4 Rubik's Revenge design uses a spherical core, where the center pieces have long thin and somewhat fragile legs to slide in slots in the spherical core. There are no hidden middle layers on the Revenge. The original 5x5x5 Professor's cube design was the first to use a cube in a cube core. That led to the later Eastsheen 4x4x4 design also using a 5x5x5 like cube in a cube core. The Wikipedia article includes images of Revenge and Eastsheen internals.

Considering the V Cube 6 has outer layers the same width as inner layers and it works just fine, I'm pretty sure you don't mean that a 6x6 *has to be* designed with wider outer layers (since a fully functional one could be designed with uniform width layers), but that having wider outer layers decreases the chance of a corner piece breaking and thus is preferred for modern 6x6s.
@TyperMarlinGames
@TyperMarlinGames Рік тому
It’s an incredibly small difference, but the V-cube 6 does have bigger outer layers. You can just barely see.
@Shining4Dawn
@Shining4Dawn Рік тому
I have to mention that although the 6x6x6 has to have larger corners and edges, the V-cube 6 hides that fact very well. It seems like V-cube made their corners larger by the smallest margin possible to make the cube seem like it's proportional. The difference is even less noticeable on the pillowed version. It's interesting that they would make this choice based on aesthetics.
