Unfortunately, even if anyone -was insane enough- had the persistence to actually do that, it would likely be literally impossible. What if, for example, a cube needed to be completely blue on both sides? There's only 9 of each colour on each cube, and there's a whole bunch of other problems as well, such as centers being locked in place. I suppose, if you picked the two images specifically so that nothing like this happens, i.e, two very different colour schemes, it could work, or you could just make compromises where getting it perfect is impossible, but I imagine it would be challenging to get both faces to even resemble their source images enough to be recognisable.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power. Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes. Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved. Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed. Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions. Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope. Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome. Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948

But... 2917 is prime! How many cubes did you use in the end?

[@MikeBoyd]

damn, I just checked. It's actually 2915 :( Thanks for letting me know (53 X 55)

They can improve their website by supplying a document with all singular cube patterns X number of appearances of the cube pattern in the image. That way you could have finished earlier. For example, pattern X 20 cubes.

[@strakhov]

Hi, I am Roman, the one who made bestsiteever and the one who you refer to as "they" 😆 The idea you describe seems reasonable at first, but if think about actually doing it this way, the process of assembly just gets obscured. Imagine having 150 piles of cubes, one pile per pattern, and then searching through these piles for a pattern you need each time you put one cube. Plus, making the same pattern X times in a row is not that much faster than making X different patterns on the fly. What would really speed up the mosaic assembly 20 times (or more!) is if there were an algorithm spelled out for each cube. Then you just have to take cubes from the box one by one, apply the 5-15 move algorithm without even looking at the cube and placing the cube into the frame. But when I started developing this feature, I quickly realized that most artists will only benefit from it once. Then you have a bunch of scrambled cubes that will be used for your next mosaic. I definitely didn't expect someone to buy 3000 brand new cubes and make an art using my software 🙂

[@agar.iodestiny8677]

@@strakhov I am very excited to get a response from you. First of all props for your website I think it is awesome. I am no expert in rubiks cube, I actually have never solved one. I am more on the programming side of things so I just couldn't help but offer it after reading your response,I agree with you, furthermore think that it's an over the top feature. All in all just want to thank you for this beautiful website.

Daily puzzles are actually goated

[@MrToney_]

6:43 As a House Framer It was Painful for me to watch them struggle to lift one simple wall.

[@egyptian_noob]

I wonder how it would look like if it was made out of smaller cubes, would it look like a higher resolution image.

[@louisabery]

Yes, it would be a much higher resolution with the smaller cubes, so more details

[@KolliOde]

HUGE respect to dailypuzzles for sponsoring this video. Loved this video and it was made possible by this company. Great content Mike.

[@mrcaboosevg6089]

DailyPuzzles are legends, they didn't even ask questions. They just said "sure! what size do you want". I wish every youtuber had sponsors like that

[@fallenknight3352]

"Why did I order 3000 Rubik's cubes?" You're the guy from the math problem

[@cubing3211]

This turned out so good!

[@coinsstampsandcollectibles3552]

What an excellent project, I'm gonna get me some of those mini magnetic cubes for sure. Thanks for doing this Mike

[@echowang134]

Awesome project sir! I love it!

[@ICE_848]

The only thing I am suprised about is the fact it didn’t fall down

[@jiheljay2929]

What's so great about this mural is that you can change the picture whenever you feel like... Granted you have a few days worth of time in your hands that is

[@mr.glitch6781]

1:57 dude was just like "oh heck yeah I'm in"

[@Dilee123likesbananas]

"Why?" Is the most simplest question to ask right now. Honestly this was the last thing I thought Mike would do, and Daily Puzzles sending 3000 cubes? I'm surprised they have that many.

[@robsonclark9678]

Ya, I love Mike and his cool challenges and storytelling. But here all I could think was that thing us one bump from crashing over breaking forever and turning into thousands of pounds of landfill. :(

[@applehead9921]

@Whatsap±1937𝟩𝟣𝟫𝟤𝟨𝟧𝟩 Mike Boyd lmao we are not dumb

[@ewan_young]

one question how will they actualy stay there and no fall out ? after all they are just balencing one on top of each other, are you going to cover them in epoxy to stop that ?

[@PugCuber]

I just wanna give a huge shoutout to Roman Strakhov; the guy who runs bestsiteever he was kinda a legend in the blind solving community a few years ago, and I don’t think Mark could’ve completed this project without Roman’s hard work.

[@AlexusMaximusDE]

I mean... of course he could have. The conversion to mosaic is trivially easy with Photoshop or GIMP and cutting it up into "digestible" pieces is a purely mechanical process. It may have added a few hours for preparation and organization but you are mistaking convenience for necessity. It's like saying a chef couldn't have cooked his meal without the hard work of the Nicer Dicer engineers.

[@Contraption8or]

dang, it took 9000 hours? Well that's what I heard at 12:25 lol

[@amberbydreamsart5467]

honestly the fact that, all told, this came out to a work week's work is less than i thought it'd take! looks great

I felt tired just seeing, congratulations on the dedication ✅

[@nikmrn]

Instead you should have ordered four 21x21's and solved all of those lol

[@blubb12blubb3]

but most of them are pillowed right? and the pixels would be smaller too. Or is this some joke I'm not getting :D

[@user-ul1wp9fl4c]

I'm not gonna lie that's really annoying that people like you who have loads of money and can easily pay the money get things for free

[@L83467]

and that businesses will give stuff to them

[@shashankmuralidharan8710]

It’s not free it’s an investment, nothing is free

[@iXenox]

I would disagree, there is nothing stopping you from doing the same. KZbin doesn't pay it's creators that much so I wouldn't say that he is made of money, or even that he has enough to just throw 10k down the drain without thinking. I also think that it is ok for someone to get paid in a weird way for advertising. This isn't completely free either, Mike spent years of his life doing something well and constantly improving. Some people say that time is money and I agree with them.

[@iXenox]

@@L83467 Do you understand that 150k for a year of work is a great paycheck if there is only one person doing all that... Have three and that is $50k a year per person if there are no funds used for any channel expansion. With the monthly salary of $4.1k you are officially below the average Americans salary of $6.2k.

[@MikeBoyd]

I exchanged sponsorship for the cubes. Its a business arrangement that hopefully benefits all parties. Also, what makes you think I have lots of money?

[@insertchannelnamehere1448]

Really neat how the orange and blue placed directly beside each other end up fooling the eye into thinking it's greyish from a distance on the metal parts.

[@tif2247]

Daily Puzzles is amazing for sending you all those. I hope they stay in business for a long time!

[@DavidKelleherArtist]

This here, for me, has it all - discipline, dedication, commitment, creativity, perseverance, patience, intelligence, finding something you love and just doing it, not giving up, not questioning yourself... and certainly so so much more. Love!!! ❤️❤️❤️ Now you just need to do one the same size but with 5x5 cubes 😅

[@Delzak]

My favorite part about this was learning about mosaic cubes. That's so cool!

[@papamcdeluxe982]

This is the coolest video i´ve watched for a long time. insane project, congrats!

[@saisagarmrcool4610]

That last cube will never be forgotten for this all hard work

[@kristin627]

Next iteration - how about a site-specific vertical piece with engineered framing, plexiglass, and TWO sided!

[@Used1980miniva]

I love how he did Arnold Schwarzeneggers terminator it was a nice surprise and I love seeing Arnold in cube form

[@TechArtsWithEli]

when I saw the 3000 RUBIX CUBES I was all like " oh my god, how much do they all even COST! " It is still awesome. Nice picture

[@itsTeleblade]

as a person who can solve a rubik's cube in under a minute, I'm very impressed with how you managed to do this so quickly!

[@foxmoulder7724]

Yeah that lumber price hits hard man. Costs so much I tend to stick to creative uses for cheaper construction lumber , and up-cycle pallets when I can get em.

[@vichael]

damn great terminator fanart, good job man

[@maxleblanc342]

Amazing vid, I cant imagine the amount of effort, planning, and ressource gathering that went into this!

[@justsomerandomguy8210]

I definitely like this kind of videos, not really a skill, but it’s still fun

[@reality_bites7887]

5:32 looks like a blob monster covered in post-it notes

[@mr.knightthedetective7435]

This was awesome! Now I want to see mosaic picture made of minicubes for better quality

[@wandrespupilo8046]

It's so satisfying to finally see what the image was at the end, this video was very well scripted, amazing work!
