List of Rubik's Cubes to do tomorrow #1272

Open simon-tiger opened 5 years ago

simon-tiger commented 5 years ago

Let's start off with a simple Rubik's Cube: image

Different sizes:

2x2x2 (Pocket Cube)
3x3x3 (Rubik's Cube)
4x4x4 (Rubik's Revenge)
5x5x5 (Professor's Cube)
6x6x6
7x7x7
8x8x8 (Twisty Speed Cube)

... up to 13x13.

Or not..
For a while, I thought this was the biggest cube record. Until I saw this... image

So this is Tony Fisher's 28x28 Rubik's Cube. It's the world record (as far as I know) for the biggest Rubik's Cube ever.

OK, back to our list.

Rubik's Tower: image

The fun thing about it is it scrambles like this... image

It changes it's shape! This is called "Shape-Shifting", and lots of Rubik's Cubes have it.

There are other "cuboidal" Rubik's Cubes:

2x2x3 (Rubik's Tower, 3 Layers)
2x2x4 (Rubik's Tower, 4 Layers)
2x2xN (Rubik's Tower)
1x3x3 (Floppy Cube) Thanks to: https://ruwix.com/twisty-puzzles/super-floppy-cube/

The last one is interesting. There is a "Floppy Cube", where you can only do half-turns. It doesn't have Shape-Shift. And also a "Super Floppy Cube", which does. Click here for a more detailed explanation.

OK, so far, I've been explaining everything. But now we understand everything, I'm not going to do that any more.

Next up, the Pyraminx (if you've researched this,you will probably have seen this one): image Turn: multiple of 120 deg Shape-Shift: no

Master Pyraminx: image Turn: multiple of 120 deg Shape-Shift: no

Rubik's Void: image Turn: multiple of 90 deg Shape-Shift: no

Edges-Only Void Cube: image Turn: diagonal, multiple of 60 deg Shape-Shift: yes

Skewb: image Turn: diagonal, multiple of 120 deg Shape-Shift: no

Ivy Cube: image Turn: diagonal, multiple of 60 deg Shape-Shift: no

Back to polyhedral cubes:

Kilominx: image Turn: multiple of 72 deg Shape-Shift: no

Megaminx: image Turn: multiple of 72 deg Shape-Shift: no

Gigaminx: image Turn: multiple of 72 deg Shape-Shift: no

Teraminx: image Turn: multiple of 72 deg Shape-Shift: no

Lastly, here's an Octahedral Rubik's Cube: image Turn: multiple of 90 deg Shape-Shift: no

For a more detailed list, check out ruwix.com.

One last message: YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO ALL OF THEM. It would be loads of parts.

Ok, this issue is finnally done.
