For anyone that isn’t familiar with cubing, the only way a busted cube is supposed to be reassembled is in the fully solved state. Otherwise it’s practically impossible to solve if you just randomly reassemble it.
But in this case, last night I was practicing, and most of a whole side just popped loose in my hand, mid-puzzle. I knew exactly where I was with the puzzle though, carefully snapped all the pieces back in their appropriate mid-puzzle positions, and managed to successfully solve it from there 👍
Note: The photo above is a recreation of last night’s cube breakdown, same puzzle sequence though.
Don’t mind the dots, that’s my own custom mod…
You can assemble a cube randomly.
You’ll possibly just end up with a half-solved-completely-unsolvable cube (for example, with the usual beginner-friendly variant of CFOP, you’ll encounter 1 or 3 yellow cubies in the top layer, instead of 0/2/4). In that case, just pop out those bad cubies, rotate and reassemble.
It’s easiest to disassemble a cube by rotating the top layer halfway (45°), then lift the edge piece. Then remove corners if needed.
Bro, where did you get that, wish.com? Get a real Rubik’s cube and you can beat a man to death with it before it breaks.
And it wont turn worth a darn either! Off brand for speed and ease
Just fill it full of vaseline
