Puzzle Hoaxes

[@DGCubes]

Very happy to see this is back up. Now, my take on the issue: This video is extremely transformative. I know this because I can listen to the entire video without watching any of it, and still get the full effect. It's practically a podcast but with something to look at to keep your eyes busy. As a KZbinr myself, I see Tony's point about at least asking permission to use the video footage before using it, but I disagree with the fact that he would say no. I've legitimately had people ask if they can blatantly reupload my footage before, and I've said no in those cases. However, I've also had people ask me if they can use my videos for a bigger video project they're making, in which case I generally oblige. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not a hater. I don't hate Tony, but I do wish he would be more open-minded with things like this.

[@HarrisonVig]

DGCubes honestly it's not that Tony Fisher was out of line by asking for TCH to ask for permission, but instead the issue was the way Tony handled the issue.

[@thomaslawrence1726]

Tony Fisher triggers me

[@thoperSought]

I just have to check: all that takedown nonsense was over TCH using some stills??

[@cubeologist42]

Happy to see this is back up. Fair use is alive and well. Keep up the good work.

[@crazybadcuber]

Hmmm... none of my puzzle hoaxes were in here. That's probably because they were so convincing and I never revealed the hoaxes :)

[@TheCubingHistorian]

Not revealing them is cheating, nyeh.

[@joeycubes68]

CrazyBadCuber which ones were hoaxes

[@IAmZander]

CrazyBadCuber hi

[@ryanbaker7678]

CrazyBadCuber you should make a video of your puzzle hoaxes

[@crazybadcuber]

No it's not cheating, it's a hoaxes only I and a few other people know about. One for instance is the left handed algorithms video. Where I was able to do algs with my left hand as good as my right and demonstrated some. I never revealed the hoax because a lot of people do now know to do them with either hand and it's definitely an asset to solving if you're able to do it, so motivating others to try it still did some good. So there is no malicious intent with the video. I hoaxed it because I wanted to see if I could pull it off. If you go watch the video, you'll see what I'm talking about. The video was filmed with me doing it right handed and the image was flipped. My lighting at the time was specific from different directions, so in the hoax I swapped the lighting over. I swapped stickers on the cube so it would still have proper colour scheme. It was challenging to make because every time I referred to either hand, I'd have to call my right hand left and my left hand right. It took a lot of takes.

[@nowymail]

Well, I have a 0.5x0.5x0.5 megacurvygigacopteraxisdodecarhombicghost cube. Weirdly enough all light passes right through it so I can't take any photo or video of it.

[@scarmangler]

lol Tony fisher is a big troll lmao

[@TonyFisherPuzzles]

Are you unable to understand the concept of entertainment?

[@deldarel]

Tony, what are you talking about? He's clearly entertained. 'lol' and 'lmao'. 'Troll' just means 'prankster' in this context.

[@mananasi_ananas]

Tony Fisher I don't think he was trying to be rude, he's actually amused.

[@MuzikBike]

We need some more proportional bigcubes. Right now.

[@xdmemes5821]

Muzik Bike the reason they make the outer layers bigger on big cubes is so that in the middle of a turn the corner doesn’t fall out.

[@dolantremp]

Would be cool except for the fact that it's impossible

[@Hamplaygames]

the highest order proportional cube is 7x7, but it is not being sold..

[@Hamplaygames]

If you mean deforast 7x7, yeah that is not finish. But on youtube, there is a cube call X-cube 7. It is fully propotional and he has made checkerboard with it. So i guess its fully working?

[@lord0fthecubes]

Tony Fisher's 1x5x5?

[@dmcubing6342]

The voiceover work on this is exceptional! And the video itself is well presented. If TF could get over his inflated ego (I know he won't- I'm just speaking in hypothetical terms here), he'd see that his content was respectfully presented and that there's no need for animus. The uploader here has content quality which actually exceeds that of the original content. TF is comfortable raking in the KZbin dough. Just look how click-baitish his material has degenerated to lately, presented in a way to only attract clicks. But when this same provider of his extra quick cash (KZbin) enforces their own PUBLISHED policies, he becomes the victim. Perhaps TF should remove all his material from KZbin since he feels so cheated, and find a new trick platform from which to present it. Until then, he'll have to deal with the way things are (while still raking in the KZbin dough).

[@鄧南英]

agreed

[@boscorner]

oh Tony... always pranking the cubing community.

[@tehcubedude]

Came here specifically to give you a view and a like! Glad to see this is back up!

[@Baked-Potayto]

I honestly don't know how the hell I got here....I don't even own a damn rubik's cube.

[@thomaslawrence1726]

You should probably get one then. It don't get one from the store. Get a cyclone boys feiwu, or an mf3rs2. They turn way better

Oh I remember the gigaminx hoax. Was all excited to see the inner workings

[@yonil9]

Someone also did a floppy 4by4 for April 1s5

[@ZaidKhalifa]

Tony Fisher made a floppy 5x5 on April 1st and it was legit. (He used magnets)

[@ScofieTwo]

[@earlyowlYT]

Zaid Khalifa yeah the fools were the ppl that thought it was fake

[@keltrm]

I might have just though of a way to make a perfectly proportional 9x9 All you need is magnets

[@ilyatoporgilka]

Konrad and Litwin banned me on TP forum.Is it real or hoax?

[@YuRiSunga]

Can you please capitalize Gigaminx and Megaminx, please?

[@kolafloro]

And the examinx (not hexaminx)?

[@Doktormustache]

Good stuff!

[@tengbernardez2694]

2:45 why does the face of the cube look photoshopped?

[@EpiCuber7]

you make the most original videos the cubing community has seen yet. if you ever stop...

[@bagduster9381]

Tony don't tell me that worlds largest cube is like an optical illusion... Oh I just realised I want ham.

[@PixelButts]

For the record, the pseudo-15x15 didn't fool anyone. We played along. I know im 2 years late on this video as I've dropped out of the community for the most part, but I can assure you that we all could see it was a joke. I would say the "it fooled a few people" is out of context.

[@TrueX-xt1ed]

Tony Fisher makes some complicated system to pull off a fake 9x9. One of the best modders and twisty puzzle creators every

[@StarryNightGazing]

the guy is also a rude piece of shit.

[@kayebeeny5478]

Tony Fischer 15x15 was just a sticker extra

[@joeycubes68]

Jman and Doggodude aka Ben and Sami this is why it’s called puzzles hoaxes.

[@SkaterGuyYAY]

Has anyone ever gone to skilltoysusa.com? I always buy my cubes there and it's way cheaper than speed cube shop or cubicle

[@ivanv.2936]

I think I saw maybe 5 puzzles on the store that were cheaper than cubicle or scs, almost everything listed is heavily overpriced. Are you sponsored or do you own the store?

[@benpayzant5894]

In your face Tony Fisher

[@0MeasH0]

Wow, I can totally see how Tony thought you were using his content as if it were yours and not explicitly saying it wasn't!

[@ph1m0_]

How can a 9x9x9 be fake when there's MoYu producing a 13x13x13?

[@JefikC]

that one was fake

[@ph1m0_]

Jefik Charlie The 13x13x13?

[@JefikC]

Philip Moritz the 9x9 shown in the video, but there are legit ones nowadays

[@ph1m0_]

Jefik Charlie Well, ok! That's what I thought. Thanks for the reply :)

[@TonyFisherPuzzles]

So KZbin changed their mind and now bizarrely calls it fair use. Fair use or not, what kind of person uses multiple videos and images (including the thumbnail previously) without the decency to ask the owner if it's OK? Shame on you and shame on those that support this disrespect of other people's work. Something very important died in the puzzle community today.

[@sukitsunewinters]

It greatly saddens me that a nasty selfish element continues to grow within the puzzle community. An element that has zero respect for peoples work or property. Whether it's making and selling KO puzzles or ripping off videos or siding with those that do either. People are foolishly destroying what they love the most. I will do my best not to let that happen and fight for decency. So you can throw your hate my way as much as you want as it only shows the kind of people you are and it certainly won't change me.

[@morcantm.8957]

it's okay tony. I know it hurts your feelings that you lost. but, in the real world, sometimes you can't win every case of copyright claim. hope your ribs are healing! get well soon!
