The pruno would ferment faster than me solving a cube 😂
We appreciate a deep cut into the modern rogue lore
my heart dropped watching them try to scramble that last one. REALLY thought it was gonna pop and have pieces all over the floor.
A piece wound up coming out and having to be put back in but thankfully that's as bad as it was lol. Had the same thing happen 3 more times during my solve and plenty more for other solves so it's a fairly common issue with the Examinx.
Flashbacks to my 9x9 exploding in study hall
The worst part about the ghost cube that you can't really know without handling it, is that if you approach turning it like a regular cube, it wants to turn in ways you don't intend due to the weird angles of the surfaces. It doesn't just mess with your brain, but your muscle memory.
i thought the title said "rubik's cubes that breaks brians" and i was like "yea that tracks"
This video came out amazing! We've gotta work a time out for recording some more content together! I've got plenty more puzzles where those came from haha!
Most definitely!
It was a great episode
This video gave me a lot of anxiety.
I'm glad it was just a video and I don't need to solve those puzzles.
I'll stick to a 1x1x1 and a 1x1x2.
Lorna Shore hat tho
He should have totally brought out a Square-1, that would've blown their minds of what a Rubik's Cube can be
Maybe next time! ;)
And a skewb. I think that one would break their mind for about a minute until they figured out how to hold it securely while mixing it.
Also the gear cubes! I still can't solve mine
@@cubecatecho I’d also bring a 1x2x3 if you have one next time
or even something like a Clock, 3x3x10, 4x4x6, siamese cube, void cube and much more.
I've got a stickerless pentacule cube... It really helps to use beginners algos for it. First I solve the corners, lined up with the centers. and then the pentacle pieces are easily solved to their correct sides. It's a ton of fun, and one of my favorites now. :D
It is a blast to solve! I recently picked up a time machine 2x2 and it's super similar!
I was expecting someone to say, "A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON". On the last puzzle
Oh my gosh MODERN ROGUE doing something on cool Rubik's cubes!!!! This is amazing. The two best things merged into one
Super glad you liked it!
After I got good at solving 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5, I started buying shape mods... The Megaminx really broke my brain at first. It's now one of my favorites when I just feel like picking up a puzzle and farting around.
I would like to see him back on the show periodically to show off more weird puzzles.
I think that may be the plan. ;) fingers crossed.
Putting a shuffled up Rubik's cube on a table in front of a nerd is the modern day equivalent of throwing down a box of matches in front of a vampire. It's not gonna work on all of them, but some won't be able to function until they've solved it compulsively.
That may be the most correct statement I've read in a while. Hope you liked the video!
slight correction(although to be fair I don't know when this was recorded): the 7x7 WR Single time is actually a bit over a minute and a half, not 4 minutes
That's absolutely insane! I need to brush up on my records it seems lol!
I got a 7x7 not long after they first came out. It didn't take long to learn to solve. It solves EXACTLY the same as a 5x5. Every larger cube solves like either a 4x4 or a 5x5. I do it with a VERY different method though. I solve the edges first using a simple algorithm. Then I solve the outside edge like a regular 3x3. If something weird (parity error) happens, it is really easy to fix without any algorithms. And then I do the centers last. There is a really easy center piece swap algorith. This method is REALLY slow, but easy. Takes me about 15 minutes. I could DEFINITELY teach you to solve a 7x7. 100% guaranteed. Barely harder than a 3x3 with my method.
I used to practice on the NYC subway. Until one day it exploded in my hand and some pieces fell onto the tracks. I still have a bag somewhere of 7x7 pieces. I don't know why. (I may have thrown it out.)
I have a 3x3 made of gears so when you turn one side the other turns the other way. Took me over a year to figure out.
The Gear Cube is an awesome puzzle! I've got a couple differnt versions of it and they're all super fun to solve. Only complaint is they're a little repetitive near the end!
23:44 WOAH! Look how fast he solved it!!!
Honestly thought you guys had stopped releasing videos it's been so long.
Ah, yes... two whole weeks...
people who can do rubiks cubes are so freaking cool
also echo looks very swag
I appreciate it! Your comment tells me that you are also very swag. Im glad you liked the video!
Also check out my other Modern Rogue episode and you can become a cool cube wizard yourself!
Awesome video
As a speed cuber I am happy to see cubing being spread through your channel and being shown to a non cubing audience
I'm glad that so many non cubers have found this and the last video we did together entertaining. My main goal with these was to showcase cubing and puzzles to a whole new audience of people and im glad that it's worked so well.
If there were to be a sequel to this video what types of cubes would you like to see?
That's awesome The so many non cubers found this entertaining
That's a good question
I think maybe these puzzles would be good:
Sq1
Pyraminx
Master Pyraminx
Polaris cube
And mastermorphix
These are the cubes that come to mind at the moment
He's not gonna come back on the show if you're gonna break his toys. Dammit Brushwood. LMAO.
Lmao things could have gone sooooo much worse with that last one!
I felt pretty good about my self solving 3*3 cubes
Neat. A "How to have anxiety" video.
My kellogs 2x2 star wars head rubics cube passed me off as a kid,
I remember breaking one accidentally and having an empty space and solving it the cheating way and shuving the missing piece back in.
It became one of those sliding puzzles + a jig saw puzzle.
(P.S. DO A VIDEO ON PING PONG SMOKEBALLS, REQUEST # MORE THEN THE INJURY COUNTER RESET. (We all know that's a lot.)
What was the 32 by 32 that you could pull out on your 3 printer
Gonna be frank, the only Rubik's Cube anything I'm interested in for more than about five minutes is results from a competition in which the only people who could compete were people who had never heard of a Rubik's Cube, and new nothing of the established means of solution. Anything else is more a contest of memorization, known-pattern recognition, and manual dexterity. Which makes it basically a sport, if not literally one, and, among sports, there are a lot more entertaining things to watch, and a lot more entertaining things to be a part of.
It's cool that there are people into it, and I must admit, seeing the feat, and "speed cubing" for the first time, long ago, was really neat, once. It's just not for me, though.
Yeah!
you should do a video on all the skill that you retained from your videos, like horseback archery from a donut doing car
Classic Butterfingers Murphy
"7x7 is the biggest cube, yes"
Me thinking about the mass produced 22x22 megacube and the 33x33 home-made megacube: Mmmmm yes. 7x7 is totally the biggest.
33x33 cube: th-cam.com/video/NqJC3YxfcyM/w-d-xo.html
The sarcasm didn't come across lol.
Lol i know how to solve them all. mirror cube pyraminx taraminx 1by1 all the way up to 10x10 easy and also the BIG hexagon one to I forget what It’s called tho been awhile since I solved it. Also solve cube without center pieces the apple and clear fis
If you want to learn to solve the 7x7, I 100% guarantee I could teach you. I have a really simple method that nobody uses. Nobody uses it because it's REALLY slow... but it is very easy.
Jason: LEMMME SEEEEE YO TTOYSSS MMAAANNNN…. *drops it almost immediatly
Also Jason: *doesnt touch toys in a while because embarresment…
Then Jason: ITS TIMMME TO TOUCH OTHERR YO TOYSSS MAAANN *doesnt even get a grip on it he just straight drops it right away
I solved a rubrics cube once by carefully removing all the stickers and gluing them back on the cube. Only took me 27 minutes!
Was hoping to see the X-Cube or the X2 :(
Maybe next time. ;)
clarification - The world record for the 7x7 is 1:35.68, a lot faster than 4 minutes, haha
Yeah I should have checked my facts before speaking lol. Hope you liked the video otherwise!
@@cubecatecho of course 😁 love to see Cubing represented and publicized a little more 😊 we need more people like you to shine a positive light on cubing, competitions and the community, keep up the great work!
Gnarly
echo rogers really looks like a cuber 😂
I'm gonna take that as a compliment. ;)
The 7x7x7 world record average is 1:42.12 lol.
That Lorna Shore hat tho.
Would have been cool to see a Puppet Cube.
I actually got a puppet cube V2 shortly after filming this. If we do a sequel to this video then I will likely make that one I bring!
17:10 he said world record is like 4 minutes
That's totally incorrect
I can do it in 3 minutes and I'm probably not top 1000 in the world
World record is actually around 1 minutes and 30 seconds
Also later on he says 7x7 is as big as a rubiks cube gets
And that's also completely wrong
The biggest one ever made is a 33x33 and the biggest one that's been mass manufactured is a 21x21
Hey! I was definitely way off on the world record part of this! A couple other commenters have pointed that out and blown my mind. Max is an absolute beast.
Not sure where you heard me say that 7x7 was as big as they get though. I own several higher order cubes and even showcased the Examinx in this (which at the time of recording was the largest mass produced cube)
Hope you liked the video otherwise!
@@cubecatecho yea max is a beast
Idk how he does it
At 19:06 you say ''yeah that's as big as a rubiks cube gets''
Maybe you were making a joke in response to Brian
But yeah I really enjoy the video alot
I'm gonna sub to you rn
noncubers being amazed by basic ones is cringy but very entertaining

I miss the days when 🧠 was super high in the episodes lol. I wonder if he smokes anymore? I know Jason is sober these days but 🧠? I know he drinks still but maybe just doesn't get stoned on set? or during the videos.
A while back, I developed a REALLY easy method to solve the cube. It is much easier than the beginer's method. Hardly anyone has seen it, as I never promoted it or anything. But if you want to try it, the playlist is here:
th-cam.com/play/PL966FC2E88722F855.html
It is NOT a fast method... at all. But it is super simple to learn.

15:10 false. By now its doubled infinite times infinite. So im sorry but its wrong, because atoms are countable, universe isnt. Or one is/could be…everyone thinks that universe means all space, but it actually doesnt, its just the space that was able to be measured but the whole ”all space” isnt and never will be when it expands and grows all the time and the amount wich it grows by also grows all the time so…. You can not measure it or even comprehend it. If you think in terms that everthing is everything and nothing at the same time and biggest and smallest thing to ever exist at the same time infinitely on a infinite timeline, then you can maybe understand what is happening to it but isnt comprehendable by words or how humans think. Sorry and bye!
The 7x7 world record is 1:35.68
First
No one saying anything about the lorna shore hat? New album smacks
Pain remains absolutely slaps! I picked that hat up when I saw them In Lubbock!
Brian's assessment of "This is just a Rubik's cube but it's making me angry." is 90% of all the goofy, crazy, and otherwise absurd variants
I really didn't need another 10 rubik's cube to break my brain
oooh i really love echos hair! plus their collection of cubes are cool too
Hey thanks! I was going to redo the dye before going down to film but I didn't have time lol.
the megaminx is my favourite out of all the cubes i've owned, always takes me a while to get it lol
Should have brought a 21x21 lol. Would have loved to see that reaction
I think the 21x21 is only custom order. I believe all these were off the shelf.
Also, 7x7 is the biggest it gets where it still looks relatively normal. Beyond that, the geometry requires the outer edge to be bigger. On the 21x21, the borders look rediculous. And it's near impossible to turn.
@@Sam_on_TH-cam "Also, 7x7 is the biggest it gets where it still looks relatively normal. Beyond that, the geometry requires the outer edge to be bigger"
No, 6x6 is the biggest you can make using traditional methods(see the Xcube 7 or Etienne de Foras' 7x7 for a proportional) without making the outer layer wider.
The 7x7 is my favorite cube to just pick up and solve
The MIRROR CUBE is the best for the blind. My wife bought me one years ago and was disappointed I could solve it blindfolded. But it solves exactly like a regular cube and feeling the shapes is really easy, easier than keeping track of the different textures on a blind cube.
I also have a ghost cube, which is a skewb (weird twisted cube) that is done similarly where you can feel the different size pieces. That one would be REALLY hard for the blind, but possible. Get good at a mirror cube before you try it.
although for mirror and ghost cubes, if you get stickered ones you can't really solved it blind, because you have to care about the grain of the stickers, unless you get the really good one where you can can feel the grains
@@KusaneHexaku Ghost Cubes only solve one way. It can always be done blind... though it is REALLY hard. The mirror cube, unless you have a sticker that has a direction, like a picture that needs to match, then its the same. No piece can be swaped with any other and still result in a cube at the end.
I think it's funny that they were worried to scramble the megaminx when it's quicker than the 7x7
7x7 - that's as big as an OFFICIAL rubik's cube gets
I thought there were megaminx competitions, they're easier to learn than a 4 or a 5 imo
I solved the ghost cube without tutorial 😎
10 Rubik's cubes to blow his mind and break his Pepsi
Never seen an evil eye cube before... I want one. My wife got me a new cube for my birthday recently. A Skewb Xtreme. It's great. It took me about a week to solve. The solve is basically 3 stages. I can now solve the first stage and the last stage easily. But so far, I'm still relying on luck for the middle stage.
I recently picked up a Skewb Extreme and haven't even began to attempt it. I'll have to remember the 3 stages aspect of it when I do!
@@cubecatecho The corners of one layer is really easy. Then I figured out a simple algorithm to swap around center pieces and another to rotate center pieces. The hardest part for me is the 2nd set of 4 corner pieces. I THINK they come down to a parity issue in how you choose to solve the first set of corners and I can now adjust the parity to give me a good chance of fixing the issue. But I don't yet fully understand it. The parity thing I figured out last night after making the original post.
this guys definitely puts imitation crabmeat on his cool ranch Dorito's.
That sounds terrifying
this is a super awesome video, thanks for showing off cubing to a wider audience! hope lots of y’all watching this fall in love with speedcubing the way us have
"People come by, and they're Ooh Snacks! then they're disappointed"
Yes, I too am frequently disappointed when I think therell be snacks, but its really just a bowl of fruit.
I was cringing everytime I saw them scramble the complex cubes, knowing how difficult they can be. I'm so glad that they didn't scramble the ghost cube.
I was cringing harder at how they were shuffling some as some get intentionally set dangerously looseand was genuinely worried they were going to pop 1 apart
They’re just a plastic cubes, while some are expensive im sure the guys at modern rogue are nice enough to replace any damaged cube. People get way too offended over small lifeless objects
@@jiggyjustin2292 yeah it wasn't really just the cost it was more of the time it can take to put back together the amount of work it can take to untwist a locked up core and the risk of not realizing a 7x7 or bigger has a twisted corner or having a piece get lost in the warehouse
Also just because they can possibly afford to replace it if damaged doesn't mean they want to have to
@@jiggyjustin2292 things ignorant non-cuber says compilation episode 557
Solving that mirror cube straight up like “The box. You opened it. We came.”
Reminder to self: copywriter quantum cubing it no one has already
Screw all of these, just give me the Lament Configuration
Number of combinations for each cube, to 2 significant digits, according to the first result that popped up on Google:
2x2x2: 3.7 million
3x3x3: 4.3 x 10^19 (43 quintillion)
4x4x4: 7.4 x 10^45 (7.4 quattuordecillion)
5x5x5: 2.8 x 10^74 (280 tresvigintillion)
[number of atoms in the observable universe: between 10^78 (1 quinquavigintillion) and 10^82 (10 sesvigintillion)]
6x6x6: 1.6 x 10^116 (160 septentrigintillion)
[number of atoms there'd be if you took each atom in the observable universe and replaced it with a copy of the observable universe: between 10^156 (1 unquinquagintillion) and 10^164 (100 tresquinquagintillion)]
7x7x7: 2.0 x 10^160 (20 duoquinquagintillion)
The evil eye cube should be called The Argus

I just cant go and break the epic like count
This was the most entertaining episode I’ve seen in a hot second.
I'm so glad you liked it!
7x7 wr is 1.39 ish right??
43 quin....somehow I don't believe that but I'm not gonna do the math.....
The actual number of combinations for a 3x3x3 cube is 43 252 003 274 489 856 000
Y’all should check out the Gear Cube. It’s made by this company Mefferts. When you try to turn a side of the cube, the other side rotates in the opposite direction with a gear mechanism. I’d like to see Mr. Speed Cube solve that!
I've got a few differnt varieties. Gonna try and bring them by for a part two!
CYBORG!
someone should hand brian and jason a puppet cube and watch them squirm
Maybe next time ;)
Was a great time doing some 4x4 while watching this. Also, if anyone is wondering that last one is nearly $400
4x4 is such a fun puzzle. I'm not much of a fan of even layered puzzles but I have a soft spot for the 4x4. Hope you liked the video!
My average 3x3 is 41 seconds
Hey that's not bad! I was about 36 seconds on average a year ago and now I'm getting sub 20 solves consistently. :) Keep practicing and you'll be a top tier cuber in no time!
Speedcubing!
The speediest of cubing!
When the hell we gonna get the rest of the Chris Ramsay collabs?!
In the next few weeks! 😁 -Bryce
@@ModernRogue Hell yeah! Been excited!
Just gonna drop this in here since there was a little misinfo in the video and the truth is more absurd. The 7x7 record is actually much faster. The current 7x7 record average is about 1:46 ( average as a single shuffle can just be lucky). Also a bit of a tip for Echo if he sees this, if you want to get way faster at 7x7 I reckon you could easily cut your time in half by learning free slice edge pairing. As the whole solve wasn't shown I can't say with certainty this is the case, but based on how you did the edges we saw I have to guess you could save yourself a ton of time doing that.
I've been looking into Free slice pairing. I always get nervous about messing up the centers I've solved but I do plan to implement it eventually. Also good catch on the record. World class cubers are just incredible.
@@cubecatecho totally understandable, the more you do it though the more you get used to treating it like a sandwich basically and doing edge flips instead of 2 turning the side the easier it gets, til it's basically second nature. Best of luck with it as you dive into it though.
Let's do it tha KS Mr crew as always for the content nice to see u around again
Doesn’t take much to break what’s left of my brain!
This is so cool
Glad you liked it!
I bought a cube after the last video and progressively learned how to solve it (layer 2 was the longest part, I sat repeatedly doing that during long work meetings for a while until confident and moved on).
I’m now able to solve in generally less than 2 minutes, it’s steadily decreasing.
I don’t think I’ll be moving on to any of these any time soon, lol
Congrats on learning to solve! I'm super glad that the video was able to help you learn and that you've been enjoying it! Of the puzzles here, the easiest to transition to from a base 3x3x3 is probably the mirror cube (Gan Mirror M) or the megaminx. :)
@@cubecatechoI bought myself a Gan Mirror M and a megaminx which arrived this morning. The mirror cube blew my mind at first but I’ve now solved it 4 times, the 4th time is the only attempt I’ve timed so far and managed it in just over 6 minutes, so about 4 times longer than I can do a normal cube in, but I’m pretty happy with that for early attempts!
The megaminx on the other hand is sat on my desk in a scrambled mess 😅
Ooh I have a bunch of these! My favorite is the Pentacle Cube, it's deceptively easy once you understand how it works! Also, I love my Mirror Cube, it's a fun party trick to solve it behind my back!
Hi
I'd love to meet up with yall to dive deep into designing these puzzles, and secondly to help with copywrite issues, twistypuzzles not rubiks cubes unless talking about the original puzzle.
It's a colloquially accepted term like Band-Aid. Would be interested in the design aspect though!
@@cubecatecho right but you may already know that hasbro was very vigilant about thier copyright when they held the license, so far I haven't seen spinmaster in thier reaction to holding the license.
these are sooo cool
Glad you liked them!
I'm being honest, is blind not the preferred term anymore? I didn't think it was "offensive"
I actually don't know. My wife is legally blind in one eye (she can only see light and dark and maybe some color if it's right in front of her face), but when I hear "blind" I tend to think of no visual input at all... where as "non-sighted" seems to convey a wider range of possibilities to me.
But no, I don't think there's any stigma to "blind." I just happen to lean on "non-sighted." -Brian
@@ModernRogue ah ok, i hope you understand i wasn't trying to poke the bear just morbid curiosity
Even firster
"Non sighted fans", "Seeing impaired people" do you mean Blind people? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Is blind not P.C.? They are blind though.... That's the term. Like who's it gonna offend? Their blind, end of story. People that can't hear are deaf, people who can't talk are mute, people who are dumb are dumb. C'mon... this is getting ridiculous. I know yall live in Austin but you really can't say blind? I'm going to find a blind person and ask them if saying they are blind is a bad word. I'm gonna guess their response now. "No". I know I'm making a big deal out of this but like, people are taking this shit wayyy to far.
reason 1: My wife is blind in one eye. When I say it that way, you assume there's no input in that eye, but that's not the case. She's got severe astigmatism: she can see light, dark, and colored blobs. Rather than take three sentences to explain all that, I just like the catch-all term "non-sighted."
reason 2: I played chess for years. "Blind chess" is when you play without a board or pieces, but instead just picture the board in your mind. When I met and became friends with the "blind chess champion" of Texas, I was confused why he was touching a board when playing. Turns out there's another "blind chess", which is simply being blind, and playing chess.
As far as I know, there's no stigma to saying "blind," but I always try to be as clear as possible in my speech, and I know for sure when I say "non-sighted", you know I'm talking about "not having sight." That's just a me preference, and in no way any kind of PC thing. -Brian
