I feel like this is the one cube where taking it apart and reassembling it would be faster than solving it.
Idk
Idk
Definitely
3x3 cube is faster to disassemble and reassemble than solving for non-cubers
Idk
Honestly, every turn is probably the only time that permeutatiom will ever exist
Its the same for a 3x3x3 cube. Since it has 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 permutations
well except for when it's close to being solved as the almost solved permutations would appear more often.
@@YoureASquidYoureAKid but even so with how many and how many times people have cubes I’m sure some permutations have been repeated
The same is true every time you properly shuffle cards
The real question is is it easier to make it ot ssolve it?
Even 1 year later he’s still solving it. That is what I call commitment!
We ain't gettin pinned. He moved on.
At this point I bet he's just re-applying stickers.
The mix of tiny square pieces, stretched out long pieces, and big middle pieces almost make the puzzle look glitched out when scrambled. Thats my favorite thing about it, honestly
It looks like Reddit
Actually the diffferent sized pieces eliminates a lot of possibliities compared to all of them being the same size that would have allowed puzzle to scrammbled into. - Richard.

we finally getting closer to "the longer you scramble it - the harder it is to solve"
i think we've passed that milestone just from this.
Well considering that once you get past 25 moves on a regular rubik's cube you start solving it, in this case the halfway point is some near astronomical number.
@@MetricJester that assumes every random move made took you further away from solved
@@me_fault you cannot make something beyond 'perfectly randomized' there is a limit to the amount of information stored on the cube while still being usable, the big one has a much higher capacity but still has this limit
let me put it another way if you make a random move in an attempt to make the cube a further number of moves away from solved, how do you know you haven't inadvertently reduced the number of moves away from solved
I love the idea that a super computer would try to render this and immediately explode
The reality is a computer. We live in the matrix
It wouldn't though. If it tried to render every possible permutation though it would definitely freeze up before it got even a fraction of the way.

When I was about 10 the Rubik's cube came out in the UK in around 1980....it was a sensation...everyone had one...I taught myself to solve it and really enjoyed spending hours with it. Fast forward to 2022 and I would probably still be trying to solve this one if it came out in 1980!!

*same*
It’s been a year since this was posted… I think he’s still solving this puzzle today!
I came to say the same thing.
At 2:36, here's what the mess in the denominator means. Firstly, it's important to define the difference between a permutation and a combination. With permutation the order (or placement) is important while with combinations it's not. So, for example, if a teacher from a class of 20 is picking two class representatives and chooses Albert and Brian, it's the same thing as choosing Brian and Albert so the different number of combinations is (20/2) * 19 = 190 (with the 2 in the denominator since the first representative chosen can be in two different spots). Now, if the teacher is choosing a president and vice president- choosing Albert for president and Brian for vice president is different than choosing Brian for president and Albert for vice president so the number of permutations is 20*19 = 380. To explain the denominator in the equation in the video, let's start with a Gigaminx. The face on a Gigaminx has a center pentagon, a middle ring and an outer ring (i.e., the edge). We're going to focus on the middle ring of one face and ignore the center pentagon and outer ring. The middle ring has five diamond shaped pieces and five trapezoid shaped pieces. Since placement of each diamond shaped piece doesn't make a difference, a solver can place the first diamond in five places, the second one in four places, the third one in three places, the fourth one in two places and the last one is forced into the remaining spot. So, there are 5*4*3*2*1 = 5! = 120 ways for the diamonds on the first face to be placed (all of which are correct in a solved Gigaminx). Similarly, there are 5! = 120 ways (again, all of which are correct) for the trapezoid pieces to be placed when solving the first face. So, with twelve faces there are twelve sets of diamonds and twelve sets of trapezoids for a total of 24 sets. With n = 2 for a Gigaminx we have 12*n*(n-1) = 12*2*(2-1) = 24 which is the 24 sets. And that's where the exponent of 24 comes from for the 5! in the denominator. Using other values of n: for n = 1 (a typical Megaminx) the exponent is 0 which makes the denominator 1 as expected since there's no user discretion where to place any piece (i.e., every single piece will be in the exact same spot when it's solved). For n = 2 (a Gigaminx) I showed above that the exponent is 24. For n = 3 (a Teraminx) the exponent is 72 as there are 6 different sets of pieces, on each of the 12 faces, that can be in five different locations each (0 in the innermost layer - the middle pentagon, 2 in the next layer, 4 in the next layer and 0 in the next layer - the edge). For n = 4 (a Petaminx) the exponent is 144 as there is one more ring than a Teraminx and each subsequent ring has 2 more pieces that can be in any of 5 places and (2+4+6) *12 = 144. Finally, for n = 10 (does it even have a name?) the exponent in the denominator is 1,080 (12*10*(10-1) = 1,080. Note that if each piece was numbered and had to go in a specific spot the exponent in the denominator would be 0.

Damn
Beat it,nerd.
thanks dad that was really helpful. could you explain how the function of n in the exponent of the denominator is derived?

I am aware of the fact that when naming powers of 1000 there are prefixes used in the words such as quadragin and nonagin and millia (I am quite fascinated with it, and I’ve been on the first 10000 powers of 10 website). However, I have yet to find a website that includes names for much larger numbers, like up to powers of a million. Do you have any? Or is there a rule you have to follow when naming them?

As someone with no talent for these sorts of puzzles, I'm going to go out on a limb and say 3 years... due in part, to the sheer amount of possibilities and irl getting in the way of solving time.
As someone who has only solved a 3X3 2 times I’d say at least 2 years
It's not even about knowing how to solve it. It's about the sheer size of this thing lmao. I take 2 weeks to solve my 8x8x8, this will take like 6 months for someone of his skill.
I would say januari 2023
Try not being able to solve a 2x2 for 6 years... this is the pain I carry everyday.
Honestly, if he spends about 8 hours a day on the puzzle, he could probably finish it in less than a week.
The fact he did this all from a 3D printer is insane. Plus it has stickers. Way to go man!
i used to get irritated when my 3x3 would lose a sticker... just imagine the anger that would incite on a rubik's that has more possible permutations that suns in the observable universe
The stickers could easily be done on a Cricut.
A couple days ago I saw a 3d printed nerf gattling gun that could shoot 500 darts in 9 seconds, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if I read on the news that someone robbed a bank by tunneling under the vault with a 3d printed driveable mega drill.
I wonder why he didn't just print everything in different colors. Sounds far easier than applying all those stickers, and, more importantly, there's no chance of one falling off.

every time i think coren's reached the limit, he just pulls out another one of these. this is absolutely incredible, your dedication is amazing. congrats on this huge accomplishment!
I thought the Atlasminx was recent. Impressed that you surpassed it relatively quickly compared to how often such "size records" are broken. Pleasantly surprised to see the Moyu-styled multi-tiered mechanism. A proven way to get both stability and smoothness, as shown by the big Meilongs and the Moyu 21x21.
I think it looks really good scrambled as a decoration and art piece
You know the math is serious when the numbers got exclamation marks.
Honestly I feel like it'll take at least a year to truly solve this monster
The 21x21 rubiks cube takes 5-6 hours to solve, but the 21x21 version of a megaminx will take around 3 days is my guess. Especially since it's a lot more difficult to turn, and megaminxes take a lot longer to solve.

Okay What
The denominator is to eliminate permutations that are only distinguished by overall orientation - that is, permutations that are identical save that the whole thing is rotated on an axis. As soon as I saw that equation, I knew that number would be on that order. Factorials scale up very, _very_ quickly.
WOW, seriously!!!!! Amazing!!!!!
I’m just so mindblowned you managed to pull this off. This Is such an amazing design!!! I’m just speechless the amount of effort you put into making this a reality!
i have never seen any content abt Rubik's cube before and still got very entertained and engaged by this video, so props for your wonderful work! both in regards to puzzle designing and videomaking. I'll definitely stick around now lol

I didn't expect the video to have the part where it's being assembled! With how insane it looked, I thought the entire video was just about solving it. I'm blown away with this puzzle. My guess is 250 hours in the course of months because self-care is important lol Glad to see people with their passions. I'm definitely watching the solving video.

Incredible work! Watching the assembly was super satisfying. It's crazy to me how well it seems to turn as well. My guess is 80 hours of pure solving time, although obviously you will be taking many breaks in between.
This man stared directly into the abyss and his body started moving on its own until this accursed artifact was complete. That's the only reason I can think of why someone would create this
i had a teraminx once. i had already solved it a few times. then one time, one turn, KABOOM. pieces went everywhere. i still have it in a bag somewhere lol
How do you know when it's sufficiently scrambled? With something this big isn't the # of steps to solve highly dependent on its degree of "scrambledness"?
Still easier to turn than a rubik's branded cube
LOL
I'm not sure if your wrists will last long enough to solve it. Tens of thousands of turns and reorientations on a 10kg puzzle is hard work!
The person that made this is actually insane.

1 year for an experienced solver... and that's it. No one else, is unscrambling that.
Yeah it's been 9 months, still not solved
I can’t with these things. Just attempting to start a regular Rubix cube stresses me out. This is just going to give me nightmares. 😂
ummm, 200 hours. Fantastic job! The larger minxes aren't harder to solve from a solution perspective. But the weight of that puzzle, the sheer volume of turns it is going to take and the constant possibility of popping pieces out while still unsolved (I cringe at that possibility -- man). Just building it is staggeringly impressive. That is a serious synthesis of tech and art.
Not much into solving them but they are hella fun to build, a few of my cubing friends have me build their stuff and honestly I love it xD
"how long will I take to solve?" 13 years.
Ur so lucky man to have a 3d prinder :O i wish i owned one
Your engineering skills are incredible! How did you get inspired to build things like this? I’m going to guess 73 hours and 24 minutes.
Are you actually kidding me, I thought that the Atlasminx would be the limit but you’ve managed to prove me wrong. Congrats on making this puzzle but I can’t believe you actually scrambled it lol
The early stages of making this thing look like the most sinister way to contain something that could blow up a universe.

how long did the stickering take?
Dude hasn't posted in a year because he's still trying to solve this beast
My guess is he filmed the maths after he solved the cube to feel better about the solve time 😂
Incredible! Humans are making rubik's cubes larger until theyre unplayable
Bigger cubes/other twisty puzzles aren't harder, they just take longer. Once you know the method for the lower order ones, like say a 5x5 minx aka a gigaminx, then you use the same method for this as you would foe the gigaminx. There's just more of it. It's why buying the speedcubes over a certain size gets a bit pointless. Like, a 9x9 cube is not at all harder than a 7x7 cube. It just takes longer. So it can turn into a chore with some of these ridiculously oversized puzzles, you might solve them once ever, and then that's about it.
Not gonna lie, this cube will make any pro cuber cry😂
The amount of scramble combos there are is insane. I caculated it. It 86 with 7925 zeros after it.
This is nothing short of incredible
Incredible! I would say 4-5 days to solve the puzzle.
I could solve this relatively quickly: Remove, and then reapply all the stickers! Hahaha! Seriously though, it really amazes me what humans can come up with when they set their minds to it! Just incredible! ❤
Genuine question, would it have been easier to make this puzzle stickerless rather than sticker it by hand? I mean, i know it would make piece design atleast a little harder for the edge/corner pieces, but if you didn't have to sticker all the tiny center piece it probably would've been easier right? Especially since you can just put a different color filament in the printer and you're good to go. Idk just my random thought.
just like paint a whole side it's big enough
Considering that several pieces contain more than one color of sticker, they way he did it seems easier to me
dear god... i wouldnt wish the solving of this puzzle upon my greatest enemies, let alone the set up.
I'm no math expert but when you put exclamation points in that mathematical equations my brain goes hmmm must be scary big number... yes... number be big!
I think I would go insane solving this.
Hard one: ill go with a safe guess of 74 hours, 35 minutes, 58 seconds and 176 milliseconds. Great video!
Putting it together is almost as impressive as solving it.
The way this is built could be a good device to make an explosive device out of that can't be disarmed except by solving the puzzle. Idk why i thought of this first.
I’m honestly surprised each turn doesn’t break the universe
Uhhh… What? I don’t get where you’re going with this.
The Teratominx sounds like a fitting name for this, because it's a MONSTER.
i allways wondered: is this still doable for most people, who can solve a normal cube in 5 seconds? is their also an "easy" pattern to follow? or do you have to be extremely smart to solve one of these?
There are easy algorithms to follow for permutations, just like any other twisty puzzle.
in fact without these ''easy' patterns it's beyond impossible for any human being. In comparison, there is a video somewhere of a mate in 549 in chess. Impossible for any human to comprehend. Take a look. It's just a load of seemingly random moves. Some extremely strong chess engine came up with the solution. Solving that mate in 549 is child;s play compared to solving this cube if there were no patterns to follow
Actually, it's a pretty easy pattern. A lot of it is intuition that can be learned by fiddling around (although a smaller version, like a 5×5 makes the process a lot easier). Basically, you make all of those centre pieces match (which is the vast majority of the solve, and also the most intuitive). Then, you make all of the edges match. After that, you have a regular megaminx (which you can easily solve a lot of if you already know how to solve a regular Rubik's cube) All you really need to know how to do to solve it is how to solve a 3×3, a 5×5, and a megaminx.
The Quettakilominx is pretty large, but I think the amount of pieces factors for that since we can't have the pieces get too small…
