说唱解魔方 How to solve the rubik's cube in a rap.

文字教程、视频教程仍旧不过瘾?!
这里来了个哥们用说唱教你玩魔方,虽然艺术欣赏大于理论价值,还算是个挺有意思的结合。
视频如下:

他的魔方是 R 家的,然后方法是最简单的层先,而且还是顶十字...直到最后还是把白色放在顶面,有点遗憾了 :-<
希望他下次学会 CFOP,来个 CFOP in a rap,哈哈。
魔方已经扩展到流行文化的方方面面啦!

安卓手机 12.5s 解出魔方 Android phone solves Rubik’s cube in 12.5 seconds

又有一则关于机器人解魔的新闻!这次机器人的“眼睛”是搭载安卓系统的 Nexus One 智能手机,机器人还是由 Lego Mindstorms 套件组件。成绩是 12.5s, 相当不错了,毕竟机械臂转动魔方的频率还受限。搞得我都想去买一套 Mindstorms kit 去玩了,可惜无银,2000+的银子呢。

来看报道吧(我只截取了前半部分,完整版请点原链接):

A Lego Mindstorms robotics kit controlled by an HTC Nexus One smartphone successfully untangled a Rubik’s Cube puzzle in 12.5 seconds at this week’s ARM developer conference in Silicon Valley.

For those unfamiliar with ARM Ltd., it’s the company that created the popular ARM RISC CPU architecture employed in billions of smartphones, set-top-boxes, web-tablets, and numerous other consumer devices.

ARM principal engineer David Gilday, who masterminded the robotic Rubik’s Cube demo, told DeviceGuru that the 12.5-second run was the fastest result at the show, but that the average 3x3x3 Rubik’s Cube solution in the current setup had been running around 15 seconds.

Here’s a YouTube video showing Gilday demonstrating his latest 3x3x3 cube-solver:

In the above demo, the cube-solving software runs on an HTC Nexus One, which is powered by Android 2.1 running on a 1GHz Qualcom QSD8250 “Snapdragon” processor along with 500MB of system RAM.

Like all of Gilday’s robotic cube-solvers, the Nexus One’s Snapdragon processor is based on an ARM CPU core, which of course is why he gets to build and play games on his employer’s nickel. (In fairness, he probably does most of it on his own time.) On the other hand, these days its difficult to find a smartphone that’s NOT running ARM CPU technology.

今天在网上又逛到这么一组视频,哈哈,很有创意也真得很挑战极限!
前6组都是几位俄国朋友在单杠上倒挂解魔方和在行驶的单车上解魔方。
第7个视频比较生猛,是 Jason Baum 在迪士尼乐园里面的“旋转茶杯”里盲拧魔方!

Sun - is the kind of play with the Rubik's cube. Every participant solves cross and they exchange cubes, then they solve 1st pair and exchange again, etc. So: cross, 4 pairs, OLL and PLL

目瞪口呆的十一阶魔方 Tony Fisher's 11x11x11 Rubik's Cube

不用怀疑,这个神奇的11阶魔方正是来自我多次提起的Tony Fisher!

此魔方是他在去年12月中旬完成的,与他之前完成过的一个“伪九阶”魔方不同,这个11阶魔方是真正可以完全转动的。最近各路的高阶魔方纷纷浮出水面,恐怕大于7阶的魔方的量产的日子,已经离得不远了。也不知道复原一个11阶需要多久,但可以肯定的是,量产以后,WCA就要准备增加新项目咯。

好了,大家慢慢欣赏这枚目瞪口呆的11阶魔方吧。

iPhone上的魔方计时器 TapStack(c) timer for iPhone!

竞速的魔友们肯定对 SpeedStacks timer 不会陌生。
虽然它起初是为“飞叠杯”量身打造的计时器,但由于它得诸多优点,已被广泛应用到魔方计时上。
虽有有点小尴尬,不过目前接近100%的比赛都是用的 Speed Stacks timer 吧!

现在看到这个 TapStack© timer 就是活生生的 SpeedStack timer的 iPhone 版!
这界面实在是太熟悉啦,哈哈~
  1. 一个超级大的手形按钮,取代实体计时器的两个;
  2. 其它的界面简直就是一摸一样。
有 iPhone/iTouch 的魔友们不妨去 App Store 下一个 到手机上。

一魔友拍的魔方 General Cube Pictures by A Cuber

今天逛speedsolving,看到一位叫Swoncen的魔友传的照片
虽然这帖子不是很热,虽然他的魔方不是很有型
但是,我还挺喜欢它们被拍出来的感觉的

Swoncen还说了他相机与Lens的型号:
