hi
Love you thank you for all you do
Are you delion wing
Its actually so impressive that Erno Rubik was able to find out a method for solving his cube, especially in just one month.
I know I had my old one for 4 years and didn't come close
He was a professor, and setting up the cube himself gave him insight that it's pieces moving rather than stickers moving.
@@addictedaiden2501 still impressive tho
@@universal_cubes 100%
I solved my first 3x3 in 20 minutes by watching a tutorial when I was 15.
Therefore it took me 15 years to learn how solve it.
Fun fact: Erno Rubik was the first cuber
Welp, that's another one to add to my r/technicallythetruth list.

Here is a fact I have not seen mentioned anywhere: the original Rubik's cube (1980) had white opposite blue. The copycat cubes had yellow opposite white. That was how I could tell a cube was not a "real" one. I just bought a Rubick's cube (after 40 years) and was wondering why it felt weird. It was because it had yellow opposite white.
Wait a minute, I always believed that blue opposing white cubes were the knockoff (from before the patent expired). Does it mean my dad's slow cube was a real one then?

@@loneranger4282 Hasbro is good at that. Check out the Nerf Shockwave foam dart blaster versus the Adventure Force Villainator by Dart Zone. (Hasbro makes Rubik's brand and Nerf). The off brand is better in every way and costs less.

1:49 My family had that book! The big problem with it was that all the instructions are black and white so the colours were represented by different patterns of dots or crosshatching. 😩 If ever a book needed colour illustrations, it was that one.

I love cubing. From the community, to the cubes. Everything is just so LOVELY. I find no other words to describe it
Fun fact: In the Portuguese language(at least in Brazil) we call the Rubik's cube "cubo mágico", which directly translates to magic cube, like the puzzle's original name

@@genericusername4206 I don't really mean budget cubes. When I say dollar store cubes, I mean the ones that are impossible to turn. You'd only buy if you didn't do any research (and probably saw it on the shelf in a dollar store). In other words, genuine knock-offs.
The original version of this reply proceeded to rant about dollar store cubes for twice the length of the rest of the comment, so I cut that part out. I'm glad I usually read my comments before posting.
Erno:If I had a child I wouldn't call it Rubiks' boy or Rubik's girl

@@kosalraman2381 no. Usually the oldest son will be named after the father.
That book is how I learned to solve the rubik's cube back in 1983. We use to hold competition with my friends, my fastest time back then was 1 min 37 seconds. I can still solve it to this day, but I still use the method I learned in the book not the way these kids do it today in 5 seconds, thats amazing.
I miss these videos where JPerm actually explains stuff. I was so intrigued in these!
jperm: who needs that many cubes
everyone: *ironic*

That´s apity that the most people don´t even know that the rubik´s cube is Hungarian. One of my teachers told that a German who was in prison created it...

Jperm I first want to start off by thanking you for all of your help. You have been extremely helpful in the course of my cubing journey. I remember when I was averaging about 40, now I average around low 20's. You and other top level cubers have made me realize what it takes to be a better cuber. If it wasn't for you, I don't think I would have ever considered learning 3-style. I hope that you continue to do great things in life and continue to inspire other cubers. 👍💯Btw great video

I love how he types "rubik's cube tutorial" and it shows his video
9:57 is a nightmare 😱😨
Make an easy tutorial for 4x4 please. Love your channel!
Hey J Perm,
I was slightly confused by what you meant at 5:57 with the maximum number of repeated sequences being 1260. I've been studying repeating algorithms in my free time trying to determine why some resolve sooner than others and if there is a pattern. I see that R U2 D' B D' resolves after 1260 iterations, but I'm confused why that is considered a maximum.
For example, I've found other 5 (and a 4) move sequences that resolve higher than 1260:
B' L R L U' = 2640
U' L' F U D = 1320
U' F2 B L' = 2856
B F L2 F R = 1430
L' D2 U B2 R' = 3570
R L F2 U' B' = 4095
Please let me know if my logic is off or if I'm completely misunderstanding the meaning of what 1260 represents.
What I mean by 1260 is the "maximum" is that the fewest number of iterations before repeating will never be higher than 1260.
I didn't go through all of your sequences, but for example your last one (R L F2 U' B') resolves after 315 iterations, which is lower than 1260. And 4095 just happens to also work since it's 13*315.
The reasoning has to do with what combinations of cycles + twists/flips are possible. For example a sequence that does a 3-cycle of edges needs 3n iterations, and a sequence that does a 2-edge flip requires 2n iterations. So a sequence that has both of those things will resolve after 6 iterations.
For (R L F2 U' B'):
- Twisted 5-cycle of corners from UFL: 3*5 = 15 iterations
- Twisted 3-cycle of corners from UBL: 3*3 = 9 iterations
- 5-cycle of edges from UF: 5 iterations
- 7-cycle of edges from UB: 7 iterations
The smallest multiple of 15, 9, 5, and 7 is 3*5*3*7 = 315.
@@JPerm This is why we do excessive debugging with our code. Thank you for the explanation, it helped me fix my error and understand the mathematics better too. Apparently, my code can successfully execute an L turn once but messes up after turning it a second time, which is why I didn't catch it. Not to mention how all aforementioned algs had an L, L', or L2.
Thanks again for responding! I love your channel and your videos have helped shape my interest in my studies.
Now back to debugging.
now im wondering, me a cuber

all because of this reply section
@@revathynair84 yes. me too. J perm and this dude are definitely geniuses.
@@JPerm can you please reply me it will be a great pleasure for me
Big fan thank you ❤
Honestly i'm glad you're trying new content to the channel, keep the good job J Perm!
i love the lemmino style of this... makes me nostalgic.
The German translation for rubiks cube is Rubiks Würfel. Zauberwürfel is mir commonly used but the direct translation is more like magic cube (in one word).
The tricky part is, I don't realy know how to describe "Zauber". "ein Zauber" can be a curse, an encouragement or a spell. But we have and use other words for warlock and witch. It goes more in the newer types of magic, that is performed on stage.
German language can be a deep rabbithole sometimes...
43 quintillion is a number so big that if you had started setting the cube in a different position every second since the Big Bang happened 13.8 billion years ago, at this moment you would have reached only 1% of the possible combinations. In fact, most of the possible combinations have never been reached in any cube that has ever made in history. That's how big is that number.
Nice video! Please do another one telling the story of other famous twisty puzzles such as Pyraminx and Megaminx.
3:31 if you were wondering what the number is it is 4 undecillion or 10 to the power of 36
The first time i got one i figured it out the old fashioned way. I messed with it for weeks and began learning how the corners and edges moved. After i figured it out i had to know if there was a faster way. And found the six or so main algorithms to solve it.
this looks like something lemmino would do
The format and even the thumbnail looks very similar! I hope he makes some more Top 10s although his documentaries are insanely well produced.
@@iighostlyoreo I think Lemmino is done doing top 10s, but yeah this is definitely inspired by him

Flat cubers
Wow, J perm tries something new and I still find it entertaining and fascinating.
Continue the great work man!
Watching this video as a hungarian, really made me laugh as you pronounced the words "Bűvös Kocka". Also for me this is kinda emotional because i am around the same age as Ernő Rubik and when i grew up the cube was started to sell more and more, and watching this video i schearched for my 1st cube and it was made in 1874 and the turning on it is trash, like you can turn it only using both of your hands. :)
It's highly possible that the way my Rubik's cube is right now has never been the same in the history of Rubik's cube
