Hello, Evan! =) Welcome!

19:30
i'm Concepción. hi

19:50
i am new

19:59
Great! =)

20:28
I can solve the whole 3x3 Rubik's cube

20:35
same

20:41
8 seconds

20:41
Guess how long the Sydney's cube solve will take??

20:49
7ish?

20:55
sub 10

21:05
and 2x2 Rubik's cube

21:30
wow

21:31
same

21:51
Evan was closest

22:45
We ask everyone to please turn off your video so as to prevent lagging.

22:56
no

23:09
yes

23:34
Oh yeah, I saw that

24:09
I can solve the 2x2, 3x3, and the triangular cube

24:16
how

24:47
I can solve most cubes, except for bigger cubes, like 6x6 and 7x7

24:53
cool

24:59
coooolll

25:03
I am working on the 12 sided cube

25:12
nice

25:17
megaminx?

25:20
yes

25:24
no

25:24
nice!

25:34
how

25:43
I can not

25:58
I am still learning to solve it

26:08
ok

26:14
nice

26:19
I have only been to 4 or 5, only because none of them are relatively close by

26:22
comps

26:25
Nice Omkar! There are similar strategies for solving all odd nxn cubes I believe.

26:26
my comp got postponed

26:33
what is your fastest time for a 3x3 cube

26:50
18 officially, but 12.97 at home

26:54
30:00

27:08
I got 59 seconds

27:13
30 seconds

27:24
wow fast

27:35
wow

27:35
thanks

27:53
it is my best

28:01
really fast

28:13
yes you can

28:14
what challenges

28:15
It is

28:19
It is possible

28:20
you can

28:25
sub 5

28:28
seconds

28:30
3x3

28:41
yes

28:49
Why do you say yes?

28:52
yes. you need 27 of the pieces

28:56
(Or no)

29:07
it is notbecause it is wat

29:14
this is because, of you put 2 side by side, and then on sideways below the two pieces, that becomes a 6 by 6 by 1. this 6 times above eachother is a 6x6x6

29:20
sorry

30:17
Nice explanation Omkar!

30:34
yeah

30:51
I solved 2 3x3s and a 2x2 and a triangle in 3:08

31:08
nice

31:53
I think I can do 2 3x3s and a 2x2 and a piraminx (pyramid cube) in maybe under 1;15

32:02
wow

32:20
Permutation=Choosing where the cubies are placed

32:40
what does that mean

32:56
I can solve a 3x3 in an average time of 20 to 25 seconds, a 2x2 in an average of 9 seconds, and a pyra in an average of 10

33:01
so maybe faster

33:06
cool

33:11
We are calculating how many different configurations of the Rubik's Cube are there

33:17
ok very cool

33:24
I one time solved a pyramid one in 8 seconds

33:42
Orientation=Choosing what direction the cubies are facing

33:59
ok

34:06
my best pyraminx I think is 6 or 5

34:10
cool

34:15
mine is 8

34:40
nice very nice

35:19
It took me like less than 1 day to learn to solve a pyramix

35:26
yeah same

35:26
or pyramid cube

35:44
I got one for christmas, and learned it by the afternoon

35:51
nice

35:58
but now

36:02
I have a faster one

36:07
I can not solve it

36:15
solve what

36:31
pyramid cube

36:36
huh

36:43
you should try

36:48
it is pretty simple

36:58
well I do not have one

37:04
oh

37:09
makes mor sense

37:13
*more

37:34
my mom will not buy one

37:46
oof

39:14
cause I am getting 3x3 GAN m lite magnetic

39:27
cool

39:32
Please type any questions so far!

39:51
I have a gan 356 air sm

40:02
I ordered the 3x3 Gan 356 M lite magnetic

40:04
as well

40:14
me to

40:43
is there a general formula for the n x n cube?

40:59
I do no no

41:08
ok

41:18
ask Sydney weaver

43:42
what is it

44:02
I AM NEW

44:12
oh, oops

44:14
this is because, of you put 2 side by side, and then on sideways below the two pieces, that becomes a 6 by 6 by 1. this 6 times above eachother is a 6x6x6

44:21
I forgot that it was 2, to 3

44:29
not*

44:48
me neither

45:00
yeah, oops sorry

45:27
No worries. Good thought though.

47:16
but there are not 27 cubes in a Rubriks cube or are there?

48:36
core

48:40
There are 27 cubes in a 3x3x3 block

48:52
okay

49:33
Challenge: Is there a way to cut the 3x3x3 block into 27 pieces using less than 6 cuts (possibly rearranging pieces after a cut)?

50:13
no I do no think so

50:24
no no no

50:57
No I don't think so

52:00
what does prime mean

52:18
Prime=counterclockwise

52:22
oh

52:22
oh

52:26
okay

52:30
cool

53:23
Example of Commutator = DRD'R'

53:44
Example of Conjugate=RDR'

58:21
The Commutator of U' and L' D2 L is shown as [ U' , L' D2 L ]

01:00:21
The conjugate of A, B is A B A'

01:06:42
because it would be hard to put the pieces together.

01:07:01
I think it is no because there are 27 blocks and 6 cuts is even and you can't get 7 out of 6

01:08:11
3

01:09:38
@Doug could you explain how you get 3?

01:09:44
How do get previous session recordings ?

01:10:09
@Nikhil it will be on maa-amc.org/featured-events

01:10:21
Thank you

01:10:29
After the first cut you have to put the book of 9 under the block of 18. We just keep rearranging from there (this is my grandson and I working on this)

01:10:37
I know

01:11:06
^block

01:11:20
what

01:12:27
how did you get so good at the 3x3

01:13:15
well I practiced alot

01:13:38
yeah

01:13:42
where can I find a good rubiks cube timer?

01:14:07
Also is this the last session?

01:14:20
yea

01:14:26
