GUYS THE SHENGSHOU CRAXY 4X4 IS NOT A REAL 4X4X4, I WAS WRONG!! There is also a Double Circle Real 6x6x6, and a Double Circle Real 5x5x5 v2 (turns much better) that I didn't mention in the video, so please please go check out Carl's channel [link in the description] :D

[@nickroethel3326]

I actually own the 5x5 version. The 5x5 has always been a favorite. It's a nice round number. It's a "big cube" so it's not just a simple puzzle. Plenty of dofferent methods to solve it. I saw the original years ago. So when he made a V2 (and now that I make adult money that I can spend on toys) I had to get it. It is incredible. It's the pride of my collection. I will absolutely be saving up for the 6x6

[@RowanFortier]

@@nickroethel3326 awesome! I want them too but can't really afford them right now. One day though, they might be in my collection

[@placeholderdoe]

Cubing seems like an expensive hobby, why can’t there be collecting hobbies that are friendly to the wallet?

[@bruhseelas]

@@placeholderdoe most cubes arent that expensive

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

As someone who always cared more about the math of the cube than actually solving it, this is something I have thought about for years. I think this kind of cube would prevent parity issues, though I'm not 100% certain. Regardless, I want one.

[@maxvangulik1988]

I think only the odd ones would prevent parity

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

@@maxvangulik1988 I don't think so. Parity errors are definitely tied to the inner cube. I solve centers last and I fix parity errors by rotating the inner cube. If you had it in the correct orientation to start, I think you'd be good. I can't remember right now exactly which rotations tie to which parity errors. I know the even cube has an extra one. Haven't solved on in a while. A little rusty.

[@maxvangulik1988]

@@Sam_on_KZbin ok but you can’t get parity on a 3x3x3

[@maxvangulik1988]

@@Sam_on_KZbin also odd cubes have centers of faces that can’t swap. Because those can’t be seen on a void, you can get parity on a void cube.

I love it when I find a channel early. There are several huge channels I subscribed to when they were tiny, like Ask a Mortician and Philosophy Tube. Hopefully you're next. It is hard to have a new and interesting perspective on cubing, as it is a pretty well worn topic. So far, I like what I've seen.

[@RowanFortier]

Thanks! I have a few channels I watch that I found early too. I remember watching Mr. Beast when he had maybe 10k subs. Anyways, thanks! I see pretty much every other cubing KZbinr do the same speedsolving videos all the time, but I like pushing the limits into strange directions that should be further explored.

Dude you are 100% gonna blow up this is so high quality dude

[@nickroethel3326]

The imaterialise shop is much cheaper but still a 3d printed custom puzzle. I think I paid $700-750 for it. Definitely not more than $800. Including the colored tiles and shipping.

[@griffinrupe]

I don't really know much about cubing (your videos are just fascinating) but could you possibly make a 7x7x7 with a 5x5x5 inside and a 3x3x3 inside of that?

[@RowanFortier]

Yes! Carl also more recently made a Real 6x6x6

[@holmbrossis1372]

@@RowanFortier How would that work?

[@johttacusj.j.begallo1432]

[@PowerPandaMods]

Tony Fisher is pretty active on KZbin. You should ping him to see if he has a copy of that old article.

[@RowanFortier]

I’m pretty sure I would have to pay to get shipped a backorder of it from cff

[@Inspirator_AG112]

The number of pieces is n³ - (n - 2)³.

[@RowanFortier]

Yep

[@kave-team]

kinda off topic here, but hasn't no one noticed that Carl Hoff's pfp is an ambigram? It's amazing!

[@priyanthisandarath1365]

I didnt find someone talk about these internal pieces problem and its hard to find information in internet too

[@JFCUBING]

Woah why did I not think about this before? I always just assumed that they had their respective number of pieces lol

[@abunickabhi]

Super interesting discussion

[@littishishstudios8383]

actually, you multiply the # of pieces on one side by 6 (to get the pieces on all the sides combined)

[@RowanFortier]

False

[@cheesedabber]

False, if you do it this way you count how many faces the cube has but we are counting the pieces. For example one corner piece has three faces meaning it is visible from three sides. If we use your method of counting pieces we would be counting one corner piece three times.

[@cubingwithriley]

Great video Rowan! I really liked it! Since when did your channel become directed by Michael Bay 😭😭😭. You need to teach me all about real puzzles now or at least give more videos please!!!! Also everyone you should totally join the channel

[@RowanFortier]

Thank you CubingWithRiley - Riley Fraigun!! I'm glad that you also think my editing has improved, and understand the humorous comparison to the famous director Michael Bay. Unfortunately, this is pretty much the entire story for Real Big Cubes. Carl Hoff did an amazing job designing and making these puzzles, but I don't think they are officially mass produced. Stay awesome 😎

[@Speedcuber22]

Im not even lying I was thinking about this the past week 😂

[@sophiegrey9576]

So apparently the number of pieces on any nxnxn cube is n³-(n-2)³

[@RowanFortier]

So true

[@deleted-something]

Quite interesting!

[@StardustLegend]

love watching all these videos on cubes when I can’ even solve a 3x3x3 XDDD

[@BernadetteRiveza]

3d so 3 dimensional which means you're calculating volume and since it's volume it is the inside of cube so 1 corner center and edges is equal to 1 nxnxn=n 4x4x4=64 length width height

[@colmenasio5542]

imagine paying 980 bucks for something you can print yourself

[@VTS_RUbik]

Real 4x4 (4x4+2x2 inside) is not Sengso 4x4, but MF Crazy 4x4 V1. Sengso Crazy 4x4 is Fused 3x3 Edges only inside (like in Sengso Crazy 2x2). P.S. Spoiler - Crazy 4x4 V2/V3 is Super Real 4x4. V3 is the same V2, additional corners no need to solve.

[@placeholderdoe]

These videos are really good! You had earned a sub from me from the 4D video but this video doubled down on the earned sub

[@RowanFortier]

Thank you!

[@Nico2718_]

What about a real 3x3x3 with a 1x1x1 in it? 🙂

[@alexsinclair5358]

1x1x1 cubes are too difficult to solve so I think it would end up being impossible to do, even with a computer
