    1. @rarity What are its dimensions?

      1. @northernnarwhal just another 3x3, but it's a V-Cube 3 so higher end then the Rubik's Brand. I was gonna pick up a 4x4 also but I didn't want to spring for it

        1. @rarity I know how to solve a 3x3 but I never got around to learning the 4x4 (even though my older brother has one). I've seen 5x5s in the past but I've never tried one.

          1. @northernnarwhal I bought this one because I'm trying to get faster

            1. @rarity Back when I used my cube regularly I could solve a 3x3 within minutes, but since I haven't solved one in a while it might take a bit longer if I were to do one now.

              1. @northernnarwhal using the beginners method I can average around 1:30, with learning the intermediate method (and using a cheat sheet for the algorithms of various states since you need to know several) I can get under a minute, but that doesn't really count because cheat sheet.

                1. @rarity Yeah, I used cheat sheets when learning algorithms until most of them became more habitual. My brother also had a 2x2 which you could solve really, really quickly with basic algorithms.

                  1. @northernnarwhal I've got a 1x1. . . wait, that's just a colored d6.

                    1. @scriba you joke but you can actually buy those for a laugh

                      1. @rarity Yay!

                        Friday, 22-May-15 03:53:56 UTC from web
                  2. @northernnarwhal Yeah I learned that yesterday just on a virtual one. I basically did it all with 3x3 corner algorithms

              1. @polarbear I think that one is a Gigaminx

    2. @rarity Almost bought one today, myself.

      1. @scriba get it and we can race
