Assistant replies: "How can it be? It's daytime." (Only LOTR geeks will get this). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. If people can complete them in 16 seconds whilst blindfolded..... It's a technique, you don't even look at the colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it could be an avant-garde musical composition, I suppose. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking 'cos I can't even do it without a blindfold. 😔 You can probably find it online. Look for Rubik Cube solution. It's more a mathematical thing than looking at the colours. These experts that can solve them quickly just remember the sequence which works no matter how messed up the cube is. It only takes something like 20 moves. When I was a teenager in the 1980s most of us in school knew how to solve it and could easily do it in under five minutes. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Reorte Posted May 16 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16 I've seen a 4D Rubik's cube online. Good luck getting your head around that one! It displays it by following the maths - from a mathematical point of view you can project four dimensions on to three in the same way as you can project a 3D world on to a 2D surface (i.e. ordinary 3D graphics doing 3D to 2D, except starting one dimension away - conceptually that's beyond me but the maths works out pretty much the same). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure they don't start with a solved cube, mix it up and then play the recording backwards? 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so, they will look at the cube and work out which sequences need to be performed, there is no universal sequence as every solution will depend on the starting point 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Colin_McLeod Posted May 16 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 16 A hillbilly went hunting one day in West Virginia and bagged three ducks. He put them in the bed of his pickup truck and was about to drive home where he was confronted by an ornery game warden who didn't like hillbillies. The game warden ordered to the hillbilly to show his hunting license, and the hillbilly pulled out a valid West Virginia hunting license. The game warden looked at the license, then reached over and picked up one of the ducks, sniffed it's butt, and said, "This duck ain't from West Virginia. This is a Kentucky duck. You got a Kentucky hunting license, boy?" The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced a Kentucky hunting license. The game warden looked at it, then reached over and grabbed the second duck, sniffed it's butt, and said, "This ain't no Kentucky duck. This duck's from Tennessee. You got an Tennessee licence?" The hillbilly reached into his wallet and produced an Tennessee license. The warden then reached over and picked up the third duck. "This duck's from Virginia. You got a Virginia hunting license?" Again the hillbilly reached into his wallet and brought out a Virginia hunting license. The game warden was extremely frustrated at this point, and he yelled at the hillbilly, "Just where the hell are you from?" The hillbilly turned around, bent over, dropped his pants, and said, "You tell me, you're the expert!" 😂 2 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JZ Posted May 16 Popular Post Share Posted May 16 Ron Chester, 89 years of age, was stopped by the police around 2 a.m. and was asked where he was going at that time of night. Ron replied, "I'm on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, as well as smoking and staying out late." The officer asked, "Really? Who's giving that lecture at this time of night?" Ron replied, "That would be my wife." 1 1 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
