How does a Speed Cube work? (Fast Rubik's Cube)

[@maxenceleboeuf]

Jared, I am thoroughly impressed by this video. As a speedcuber, I can confirm that you clearly put a lot of research into speedcubing and got all the facts right. Your animation skills are also immaculate, as I can recognize the model of speedcube in the video! Well done!

[@hawk0485]

the fact that you managed to animate the cube flexing and corner cutting is extremely impressive

[@dishwashersafe222]

I'm an old school speedcuber and one inaccuracy is that Rubik's brand cubes have a near identical spring tension system in their core that can be adjusted in the same way. Loosening it to allow corner cutting was common. Filing down the spring ends and smoothing the screw threads were also common mods. I am amazed by all the new innovations! The "MagLev" spring was totally my idea like 20 years ago (and probably other people's too), but I never really had the resources to prototype it. This is the first I've heard of it! Besides the friction advantages, the force is now quadratic with distance instead of linear which I thought would have real advantages! Off to look into it more now...

[@kentslocum]

This was one of the best KZbin videos I've ever seen: the sponsor perfectly matched the subject of the video, the sponsorship segment was seamlessly integrated, the animation was top-notch, and I ended up learning more than I expected (how to solve a Rubik's Cube, not just how it's built).

Nice video! I myself learned solving one of those with the LBL (Layer by Layer) technique around 15 years ago. you start out the same as here, but on the last layer, you start by making a yellow cross. Then, you bring the cross in the right position, so that only the edge pieces are random. You then bring the edge pieces in the right place and at the end, you just finish by orienting the edge pieces correctly. It is not the fastest method, but it only requires to learn 7 algorithms, so it is easier if you don't wanna learn a s**t ton of algorithms. Always good fun for impressing friends and also not too hard to learn.

[@JaredOwen]

I wanted to keep things simple because most people that watch these videos are going to be "non-cubers" - hopefully I found the right balance!

[@blooberry999]

this is a good method for beginners but if you want to be faster then you should work on knowing full oll and full pll aswell as advanced cross and f2l full pll is about 21 algorithms but they are all easy to remember full oll is 57 algorithms which makes it harder to learn out of the two a good way to learn these algorithms is by remembering patterns in the algorithms such as triggers or parts of other algorithms

[@thephysicistcuber175]

Wait if your first step of the last layer if solving the cross why would you need to orient the edges?

[@desolation0012]

@@JaredOwen If you wanted this you should have started with the beginners method, instead of going straight into the cfop. (Same as you said it, but much less confusing name lol)

[@_cablewastaken]

@@blooberry999 he said 15 years ago, pretty sure they know full cfop by now

[@Rice_Boi.]

Research is clearly thorough, as a speed cuber I enjoy the little additions here and there of intricate details, it really brings the video together. Already buy from SCS so no need to worry, seeing how the corner piece was modelled and how on the face of the piece it was fully square and not rounded, which helps to not let the corer twist, can't even begin to imagine how you model those details let alone an the opera house, would love to see a part 2 covering some other things like core magnets, piece patterns and some other cool systems but if not that was still a great video. Keep up the great work :)

You'll be surprised. He didn't even present all of it (yet). There are cubes with yet more magnets and more customizability features than what is shown here. And I think it will be overboard if he started presenting Smartcubes coz they're still not as mature yet.

[@Trexrush1]

Speedcubing is a rather niche hobby that is somewhat inaccessible to cover for presenters outside of the hobby niche (theres a right and wrong way to refer to things, etc, and the community is really selective about getting these things right). A lot of educators and videos produced for people outside this bubble end up getting information wrong or feeling badly researched, but not this, Im extremely impressed! I really commend your work on this video, im actually think it is one of the best introductions for people looking to learn more about the Rubiks Cube and cubing / speedcubing as a whole!

@@JaredOwen I have one with the alignment magnets, but it has a slightly different spring tensioning mechansim. You don't have to change the screw setting, but it has a sort of ratcheted plastic holder around the spring with teeth set at different heights. Like in a bic pen, but with like 8 stop points instead of just 2.

Back in the '80s I had solution book titled *"The Ideal Solution."* I thought I was pretty fast since I could solve the cube in about three minutes.
