OK, ça ressemble à un #rubickscube ... Mais ce petit puzzle ne se manipule pas trop comme les autres. Je vais aller chercher un tuto.

For anyone that isn't familiar with cubing, the only way a busted cube is supposed to be reassembled is in the fully solved state. Otherwise it's practically impossible to solve if you just randomly reassemble it.

But in this case, last night I was practicing, and most of a whole side just popped loose in my hand, mid-puzzle. I knew exactly where I was with the puzzle though, carefully snapped all the pieces back in their appropriate mid-puzzle positions, and managed to successfully solve it from there 👍

Note: The photo above is a recreation of last night's cube breakdown, same puzzle sequence though.

Don't mind the dots, that's my own custom mod...

Reference regarding the dot holes...

New 4BLD World record by Stanley Chapel in :
1:04.60 mean of 3

When you look at the world ranking single and average, other cubers are only fighting for second place… And they are far away.
Amazing.

Fact: there are no average sub-10 cubers over 40s!

A thought to all the senior cubers as me 😉

Hi cubers,
I don't remember the name of an unofficial event where competitors have to reproduce the state of a scrambled rubik's cube.

Do you know how is it called?

When you do your PB single an PB Ao5, then rise your arms to the sky screaming "yeah!!!" and…

You realize that an hour earlier you were training with special 2-gen subset scrambles and you forgot to put a normal generator back.
