For each of these cubes, you removed all of the colours and then put one of the original colours back. You could have saved yourself two or three unclippings per puzzle if you had planned ahead.

“In a way, they truly are the exact same puzzle if you hold them up like this, you can see that they’re literally just four corner pieces arranged in exactly the same way, which can each rotate 120°.“ 🤯
Yeah, once you see it, you started to notice that almost all "different" cubes are just shape-mods of a tiny handful of base mechanics. I noticed it back when Nathan Wilson was making his mods, baffled at how it was possible to turn a regular 3rd-order cube into so many "different" cubes. Also, once you realize this, it becomes a lot easier to solve most cubes because they're just a 3×3×3 or a skewb or a pyrminx, you just have to hold them at the right angel. 😉
1:43 you could have saved 12 triangle "removals" by leaving one color on each (like all yellow on one, all blue on another) edit: you could have also done the same on the square cubes, saving 24 removals and attachments in total

Yay! I love watching your force cube videos! Can you do a video reviewing all your mains and prs? It has been a long time and there are a lot of us wanting to see it!
Mathematically they are identical puzzles, it's just that the edges of one analog to the faces of the other. So uselessness can't be measured by the complexity of the puzzle, because they're identical. However, the unicorn cube has a much bigger piece count, which means that it's putting more bits of plastic to accomplish identical puzzle-uselessness. Thus, it has an extra source of uselessness.
The white unicorn force cube was my favourite, if I had to pick one, but they all look great. It's amazing how much effort Alex puts into these videos! Keep up the great content :D
So when did it hit you that 25% of the pieces of the triangles, and about 17% of the cube pieces didn't need to be removed? As is, you could have left one color on each one alone and just matched it.
I would absolutely love one of the pyramids from 1:44, it just looks like heaven to disassemble and reassemble over and over again (i can safely say this because i have repaired a countless amount of school chromebooks, its both painful and satisfying)
this might be off topic, but before i learned the e perm, i had trouble with it. as soon as i learned the e perm, i didnt get it for another 100 solves 💀💀
both are the exact same puzzle, it's just a mattter of how you sructure the angles, so even though they look a bit different, they are all topologically identical. you can warp one into the other. gg for the effort though, i love force cubes :)
I'd argue the cube is a slightly harder puzzle than the pyraminx, simply because having more colors may make it a little harder to tell how each piece is supposed to be oriented. In which case I suppose the pyraminx force cubes would be worse?
Hey z3! I have a video idea. I know you have made a barrel pyraminx , which is one of my favorite of your mods. But one I was wondering you should do for a later video, is make a pyraminx into a cube shape! I would definetely love to see you do that!!! Thanks for the great content!
We hypercubers see force cubes as cells. “Sides of a 4d Rubik’s cube”. The unicorn cube is actually like the same appearance as a 4 coloured “corner” on Melinda’s 2x2x2x2 physical puzzle. But they twist 😮
1:23 You were right, because there are ((4×4)×3)-1 peices left which is (16×3)-1 or ((10+6)×3)-1 or ((3×6)+(3×10))-1 or (18+30)-1 or 48-1 or 47. 2:17 And because 48-3=45. 4:36 Right because (4×(3×6))-1 is (4×18)-1 or (8×9)-1 or (80-8)-1 or 80-9 and the final answer, 71

the unicorn cube is also known as the rubik's diagonal pyramid cube!
I think they would be good for fidgeting though so they are not completely useless
Tbh, they’re probably really good stress relievers.
i like force cubes, they work perfectly with my ADHD and OCD
the pyramid has less "points" (only 4 compared to 8), therefore it is closer to being "pointless".
This guy is doing all this which definitely takes a long time. I'm here watching this video putting off my homework
I genuinely want one of these to just fidget around.
Let's go! Now my 3 year old sister will have no trouble solving cubes.
My unicorn is the "normal" one. I was mildly tempted to pop the caps to switch them to the reverse version, but… meh. 🤷
