A lot of people look back at Minh Thai’s 22.95 world record back in 1982 and say that it’s slow. You have to remember that this was the technology of puzzles that was available, never mind the magnets, dual adjustment and maglev. He solved it in 22.95 seconds with no real corner cutting, no rounded pieces, and even no tension adjustments. CFOP wasn’t even popularized in 1982. Jessica Fridrich posted CFOP in the 1995. To say the least, Minh Thai’s record is seriously under appreciated and overlooked.

[@walmart211]

Yes you’re right

[@AveryHyena]

It says 3 billion and not 43 quintillion because the average person sees "43 quintillion" and goes "what does that mean", but when they see "3 billion" they say "wow that's a large number"

The old cube definitely comes apart without breaking it. The only way I ever solved one in the eighties was snapping it apart and putting it back together piece by piece in the correct format. Nice video, this just oddly popped into my feed, and I give it a like.

My fastest time on my original 1980 Ideal cube was 1'11". We raced at school (nerds!!!). Somehow I still have that cube and its plastic case. The top square indent has a silver "Ideal" sticker on it, which is missing from yours. The little booklet is long gone, though. The cube did get looser with use and now feels like it wants to fall apart if I try to use it. It will stay on display.

[@ZagnutBar]

I'm 50 now and owned an original Rubik's when i was a kid in the 80s. I recently bought one for my daughter, having never touched one since the 80s. I was surprised by how lightweight and "cheap" it felt because the turning motion was so loose in comparison to what i remembered. Obviously in the 80s it was just a toy. It wasn't designed for competitive speed cubing, and that's certainly not what i used it for as a kid. I really miss the stiff turns, it made the puzzle feel more substantial. The modern one just feels so flimsy by comparison. Oh and i definitely "solved" my cube in the 80s by popping out the pieces. I can't vouch for the strength of 45 year old plastic but it can definitely be done.

Cheaper build quality? (((WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED)))

[@michelleb7399]

Yep, that was the only way I could solve it, too. I thought I was pretty clever in that my friends “solved” it by removing the stickers. The bad thing about popping out the pieces is that after a few times of doing that the pieces would become so loose they would pop off on their own.

[@zeniktorres4320]

My 1980 cube disintegrated when I picked it up last year. I use vasoline to lubricate it back then, and over the years plastic did not like it.

Hi CubeHead, I have a rare Hungry magic cube produced between late 1978 and early 1980 in the original Hungarian paper box "Büvös Kocka" produced by Politoys (whis is the renamed original "Politechnika" name). The rarest thing is that this first version has not only the white and yellow sides, but also the red and orange neighboring sides.

[@sherwood5103]

I have one too. It says Trial on the box. I think it's before they've been mass produced.

[@vincemsp]

It’s probably a international cube aimed at Japanese market. White and yellow Side by side is a Japanese layout. If the label is politoys it’s the rebrand of politechnica for international market. Those are pre-ideal era from this video. Indeed rare. I’ve got a politchnica with painted color which made the orange turn purple. I think it’s the coolest cube ever.

My best friend’s older brother Max, deceased, was a closeted nerd. He was a professional motocross rider, was in the Army and was an early 80s guitarist in a hard rock band. During this time in his life, he collect pretty much every toy. He kept everything in its original packaging and always bought a second unit to be unpackaged. He has every original Star Wars IV, V and VI figures, every GI Joe and so many others. Max also had several Rubik’s cubes still in the original packages plus many other just sitting in drawers and such. My friend has had several people ask him to sell Max’s collection of toys ( and comics actually ), but Tony says absolutely not. Max was his hero and after Max was injured in a motocross race that left him a quadriplegic with a severe head injury, the collection means far more to my friend than money would.

I had one as a kid and I can tell you that the original Rubik's Cube did not have a guide. You had to purchase a book if you wanted the solution. I did (and I think I still have it somewhere).

I solved the cube without tutorials, right around new years 1980 (actually, over night during winter break). We had had a cube at my house for a few years (maybe ~1978), and I'd given it a few half-hearted tries, but nothing serious). Then one night, I set myself a goal of solving the cube, spent all night looking for patterns and gradually solving it, and by the next morning I had done an initial solution. No tutorials, not membership of the old MIT cublovers mailing list, nothing like that.

That's amazing. I only managed to do two sides in 1980, and I was chuffed with that. Now I can only do one side ;(

[@jamesbond_007]

@@fuzzmuff63 I just watched for patterns and systematically applied them. Mind you, I did not come up with all the algorithms that people eventually developed for solving it; and some of my move sequences were not optimal, but they worked, and could guarantee solution within about 3 minutes.

[@quasigeek5923]

I too solved it in the early '80s, but it took me a few weeks, but I followed the levels that was in the pamphlet. one side, two side, all the corners, the cube. It's not the fastest way ether. A lot of repetition to shuffle the corner pieces into place.

[@jamesbond_007]

@@quasigeek5923 I don't think the one I had had such a pamphlet -- it was one of the earlier models from the mid-late 70s. Congrats on coming up with a solution -- you're right it does take some effort to get specific pieces to specific locations. I basically developed a set of context-dependent algorithms for dealing with different configurations of the bottom corner pieces that would move things toward getting them into the final right configurations. It was just a lot of observation and trying things to see what effects different sets of moves would have on things.

@@mlee6050 It’s just a different puzzle with a modern speed cube. Modern cubes allow you to perform finger tricks that were utterly impossible even with the best competition cube from 2003. I learned to speed cube back then and competed in the world championships in 2003 and 2005. The finger tricks I learned were the ones that could be done with 2003 competition cubes. Fast forward to 2024, and of course I can now go and purchase a GAN 14 Maglev Pro (or whatever cube suits your style). But what can I do with it? Well, I can do the same slow finger tricks that I learned in 2003. Obviously, I could learn all the new much faster finger tricks that work on modern speed cubes, but that would essentially require me to relearn speed-cubing from scratch again. I just don’t have the inclination to do that. These changes are no one’s fault, and I don’t begrudge the new improved speed cubes. But it’s a different puzzle today than it was in the past.

I learned to solve a Rubik's cube in college, back in the early '80s. Of course, back in the early '80s, you couldn't just look up a solution on a website. You had to figure it out on your own, or (as I did) learn a solution from someone else who knew how to solve it. Recently, I relearned how to solve a Rubik's cube from tutorial websites. The thing that struck me was the different approach to the last layer. Back in college, the solution I learned (and have since forgotten) solved the corners of the last layer first, then solved the edges of the last layer. All the tutorial websites that I found do it the other way around, solving the edges first, then solving the corners.

I knew the name was on the top, but I never understood if it was really the building where ideal came from. Now I know. We often drove by it when I was a kid, and I used to imagine all the toys inside.😊

I also have the first original sold cube, I got lucky that the parents of my mother bought it for her at the time! The color scheme was different at the time than now.

[@JohnDlugosz]

Yes, blue opposite white as the "top" and "bottom". But the red, yellow, orange and green around the sides can be in different order on different cubes.

Can you please make more solving tutorials for like piramixes and megamixes and all that

[@Iggystar71]

I remember buying a hefty little book on how to solve a Rubik’s cube back in the early 80’s. I might as well have been deciphering hieroglyphics. As it stands I still haven’t been able to solve one with a plethora of YT tutorials.

Fun fact: (my guess) The hello kitty was invented in 1974 too bc it was also 50 years old
