[@mathematicalmachinery7934]

You don’t have to do OLL or PLL if you make the white side your last layer - the locking mechanism is based solely upon the link between the yellow layer and the next layer, so you only have to solve the F2L and it opens right up. In other words, you only need to line up 12 pieces instead of 20, and it’s the 12 easiest pieces to line up.

[@SpaceFlamingo07]

Ok so I think you just said that you dont have to solve the whole thing but im not sure.

[@edwardblair4096]

​@@SpaceFlamingo07That is exactly what he said. Unless there is some hidden mechanism where the third layer pieces have to be lined up correctly before the first two layers will come apart, then you only need to solve the first two layers. On the other hand, it may not be obvious which color is the side that is removable. So you might have to solve each color in turn untill you get the right face.

The funny part is any rubik's cube can be solved in as little as 20 turns and as much as 28 with the knowledge of a speedcyber, though any scramble can be solved by four different methods. CFOP, ROUX, ZZ, and beginner method.

[@xeridea]

@@anasyn It has been demonstrated that the max number of turns required is 20, with most taking 18, and 19 also being common. 20 is actually rare. Of course this can only be done on a computer. This is know as "God's Number". For a 4x4 cube, it isn't feasible to prove what God's Number is, though it has been determined it is between 35 and 55. For a human, doing 20-28 moves is exceptionally good. 50-60 is common for advanced speed solving methods, since determining a more efficient solve would take too much time. There are competitions for fewest moves though, and for that I think it is generally under 40, though top solvers have achieved 28 or less, with 20 being done. I can only do beginner method though, which is like 100 or more. Also a 4x4.

If it jams up while empty, I'm sure it's a real bugger to manipulate when there is something inside. It might even permanently jam if something inside was just the right shape/size.

Pretty sure the only thing you can fit to hide in there anyway is drugs so the weight probably doesn't impact much. Or maybe coins? But lets be honest no coin collector is buying this as a hiding spot. This is legitimately perfect for carrying drugs.

[@SoulDelSol]

Interesting point. If it is big enough to fill whole chamber i dont think cube would spin

[@someoninte456]

I don't think that what's inside will have an effect on how much it jams up. Most Rubik's Cubes that jam up are because of the shapes of the pieces. If you notice on the speedcube on the right the center and edge pieces are rounder which allows for more corner cutting which essentially means you don't have to turn a side as far until you can turn another side. On the secret compartment cube on the left the shapes of the pieces were all squares meaning you have to turn the sides more to be able to turn another side which most people who solve Rubik's Cubes fast aren't used to.

[@GrownCrow]

Not necessarily because the core isn’t a spider core like most flag ship or budget speed cubes are these days it’s more of a hollow center so nothing inside interacts with the pieces if it were to be what you described the top wouldn’t get back on

[@enderger5308]

It’s whenever he switches edges to turn that it jams, resulting in slower turning. Corner cutting (where a cube will turn even when slightly misaligned) and magnets both make this easier, with the former being harder to achieve with the limitations of a ball core (needed to have a clear centre) and the latter not being worth it due to the former and drag inherent to the design.

You know, I cringe so much whenever anyone puts their child on the internet - it’s such a massive privacy issue. But seeing LPL doing it the privacy minded way is wholesome AF.

[@montecorbit8280]

Good with his hands, and good with puzzles.... Like father, like son.... (Locks can be seen as a type of puzzle....)

[@singeslayer8367]

I love how this man can open pretty much any lock every made, but a solving a rubiks cube is like magic to him

[@AbsoRuud76]

I am a speedcuber so it is immensely satisfying to watch your son solve these two cubes. :)

[@colea3107]

As a person who can solve rubik's cubes, I think the most impressive part is his sons speed cube, aren't those expensive lol

[@Jordan....]

@@colea3107 yeah, the newest gan cubes cost like 80 dollars

[@PanjaRoseGold]

@@colea3107 No, one of the most popular cubes on the market right now, which is what I have, is the MoYu RS3M 2020. It's $8 on sale. You CAN buy a Gan puzzle like the guy above me said, but it's far from necessary. A lot of decent budget cubes nowadays are completely competition-worthy, and most of them are cheaper than a normal Rubik's brand while still being way better.

[@jdaxwilson]

Same here

[@hypercubemaster2729]

@@PanjaRoseGold That's because they're knock offs.

[@Wagonman5900]

Fun fact: LLPL is not thinking that fast either. He relying on muscle memory and visual cues to solve the cube. He already has the steps memorized to solve it. The same way his father has the steps to pick a lock written into his muscles.

[@roka3611]

Nobody fucking cares man, even if he memorized the moves it's still impressive.

[@AhdDib]

@@roka3611 fun facts aren't inherently offensive. nowhere did @wagonman5900 state that it wasn't impressive, but rather enlightened others that the cube is in fact fathomable and if broken down into simple steps is far from difficult. Every system has a start and finish!

[@Tahngarthor]

im still amazed at how fast ppl can solve rubiks cubes. Yes, I know there's a systematic method to solving them quickly, but with the speed i see some ppl solve them, I just dont see how they're processing what they see in their head so quickly to take the next step lol

[@june_m12]

@@Tahngarthor you usually only need to be paying attention to a handful of tiles at a time, and then you use an algorithm (read: sequence of moves) that you've committed to muscle memory to move them in the way you want. You don't actually need to process it all that fast for it to look like that.

[@TheGeoffable]

Muscle memory for the manipulation, yes, and that's a skill in itself. But it's not about memorising moves, it's about applying an algorithm to solve it, so you have to calculate moves as you go. The very best don't memorise the moves, they work them all out from the first glance at the cube and memorise that particular solution, hence people can do it blindfolded.

That was fun great video! 👍🇨🇦
