$1k rubick cube prop bet
 

My friend bet me $1k I couldn't solve the rubick's cube in under 2minutes.

how much time do you have to learn? it's just a formula and incredibly easy if you put some time into it.

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

I knew how to do it beforehand, took me about 8hours to figure it out for the first time.

Also, this should probbably be in BBV4L.

Lol, that's such a dumb prop by him. Grats, and nice song in the background.

Yeah, we were up at my buddy's cottage.

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

did you know beforehand you could do it for sure in under 2 or did you think it would be close

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

damn which I could get prop betted like that. did you have to do it on the first try?

I'm no expert at the thing, but I can usually do it in under 2mins. It wasn't a sure thing, but I was pretty confident.

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

Wtfffff Who would take this bet unless they were sure they could do it. -EV for your buddy. A+ for you though. NH

Yeah, just 1 shot at it.

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

At my best i was down to 45s. Prolly like 1 min now, but havent done it in like 2-3 years.

left twice, rotate the left side up, then the right side down. repeat until solved.

How did he not slam down the cube and yell at the top of his lungs 'SHIP IT!'

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

its pretty simple math, just look online and find it and its real easy

You must be a hoot to gamble with.

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

about how long does it take from having no clue how to do a rubik's cube to doing it in say under 10 minutes, assuming i am using an online guide?

and does anyone have a good site for learning this from scratch?

Once you figure out how the thing moves, I'd assume you could just follow the algorithms and solve it right away.

And no, I didn't figure it out entirely on my own. A friend showed me how to complete the final layer, which is ridiculously difficult, IMO.

yeah, my problem is the wikipedia uses a bit of notation which becomes are to follow and visualize, i dont seem to own a rubik's cube so im using a virtual one for now until i can obtain one

i learned a method online that had me doing it in about 5 minutes. and i was pretty slow with my twists. but it was convenient cause i only needed to learn maybe 5 sequences for the difficult moves

there are many methods which can get you under a minute that are more complex

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

I was taught how to solve the Rubik's Cube by my friend using just a few algorithms. After a week of doing it just randomly, I could do it in about a minute or so... so this bet isn't that hard.

I can only solve the cube one way, too. If you know a couple algorithms for each step, you can solve it way faster.

Was this bet like, "I bet you can't do it in under 2 minutes right now" or did you have some time to practice? With practice this would be absurdly easy, methinks.

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

I've only been able to solve it a few times and didn't realize the pattern any of those times I did it. Doesn't using a guide or knowing the algorithm beforehand take a lot of the fun out of it?

Re: $1k rubick cube prop bet
 

Over/Under: how many shots would you have to drink before you couldn't do it in under 2 minutes?

Never seen the show... do I look like one of the dudes or soemthing?

ANd the bet was sort of like:

him: no can solve this thing
me: I can
him: no you can't
me: I can do it in under 2 mins
him: no you can't
me: bet you $1k I can
him: done.
