  • Back in the nethertimes of cubing, there were two very controversial events: the Rubik's Magic, and the Master Magic. After some debate, they were eventually removed from the list of sanctioned events. Why did they do that?

    Broke regulations because:
    • Starts with magic in hands
    • Uses keyboard, not stack-mat
    • Scrambled Megaminx in background

      Little did you know, the only regulation he broke was having a scrambled Megaminx in the background.

    Hey, how about the evolution of speedcubes? From which cubes introduced which traits, such as Screws, grooves, torpedoes, to how Valk uses hollow corners instead of rounded corners to reduce cornertwists without compromising cornercutting, and how Gans use the GES system to reduce springnoise etc. I am really facinated by how far we've come in refining the mechanism of the rubiks cube

    1:57 But isn’t the 2x2 a super fast event too? Wouldn’t it be hard to judge 2x2 solves?

    • @TheCubingHistorian
      @TheCubingHistorian  6 ปีที่แล้ว +58

      It is, but there are other reasons to keep 2x2 in that magic did not have; for one thing, it can actually be scrambled.

  • @xf4slv817
    @xf4slv817 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Actually they should scramble the magic like the ring messed up and the shape too. And then you have to bring it back to, or the linked, rings or the solved rings. And then its an actual challenge

    • @zachnado69
      @zachnado69 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      still, the magic is just a test to see how dexterous you are. it is FAR too easy to break a magic.

    @gareno6713 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I wonder, if somebody actually made notation for Magic, and made a way to scramble it, would it be added again? It’d be cool to see it back again, as a kind of resurrected puzzle.

  • @Isaac-lb1gl
    @Isaac-lb1gl 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    They should mix up the magic! Then the solvers should bring it to the 3 rings then link them!

    • @zachnado69
      @zachnado69 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Victor Giaquinto also, as the guy said, the magic has no notation, meaning it has no algorithms, meaning you have to just fiddle with it until you get it right. it also just might break during the "solve"

      I have a 40th anniversary edition of that that literally just broke after a few solves. I'm planning on fixing it, but like, I could watch youtube videos, practice actual cube events, stare at a wall to watch paint dry... so many more exciting things.
