RE: Weekend-engagement topic week eleven: Win hive for your comment

It's hard for me to overstate how adorable Cleo is. I don't know if there's a favourite thing, other than my laptop. But in this case, I think I know something that's close enough, and it references to another post you did a bit earlier. BEHOLD... the Rubiks triangle thing! As you can see, it's from A&W, and was a gift thing that they included with a meal.

I like this right now, because it reminds me that G-Dog doesn't have one, and he'll never feel the satisfaction of being able to complete a full Rubiks set without having to cheat. I can solve this triangle thing pretty easily, though not a cube oddly enough. There's just four-sides, and I don't have to take it apart and put it back together again to finish the colour set.

Picture attached here, hairy legs for scale.

Thank you for your engagement on this post, you have recieved ENGAGE tokens.

I learned how to solve Rubik's cube some years back, and once you know the formula, it's quite simple. But I have long since forgotten the formula, so I wouldn't be able to do it now.

once you know the formula, it's quite simple

I never worked it out...I must have a below average intelligence, or that little hamster that turns the wheel in my noggin was on a break that day.

Well, I never said I figured it out, I learned, by a formula, and that's like cheating anyway.. xD
Look up some youtube videos, they'll teach you how to do it. :D

It's best the Rubik's cube solving is left to the experts, blunt instruments like me are best used for manual labour. 😂

I can confirm that there is indeed a formula, which I learned a friend do once. I have forgotten how to do it, but its basically like a combo move, twist and turn just a couple of sides endlessly, while rotating the cube around. Eventually, it'll solve itself... Brilliant!

a combo move, twist and turn

This sounds like me deploying Krav maga on someone who deserves it.

That's basically the only way I know how to finish a Rubik's cube, by employing this multiplier combo move on that ungodly thing. You keep twisting, and turning until voila, the whole set is complete!

Fucking geeks.

😂

That's what I've been telling you, mate. When you've got the formula pinned down, completing a Rubik's is as easy as munching down a bag of Oreos.

Learning the fixed formula for solving a Rubik's cube is like learning the cheat-code to solving life, the easy way XD

Yes, but do you have the cheat-code for life, though?
If so, gibs, plox! xD

Unfortunately not. I'd appreciate it if someone could direct me to it, though. Life would be so much easier 😂

Ah, thought so.. xD

Well, apparently the cheat-code to life is becoming no one, like Aria in GoT, then from the state of being no one, you can choose a different story, different character, a different reality.

Supposedly.

Ah, you mean a restart then? I think I'd go with that, given how few checkpoints there are, and how much I've messed up the progression. I'd like to pick a different character, and branching storyline, please. XD

Is there a round Rubik's cube or should I invent it already.

Did I just say "ROUND Rubik's CUBE"

Whoo... mind blown

Hmm...The fabled round Rubiks cube...Wasn't that the elusive treasure Indiana Jones was after?

Found it...Oh fuck, the fabled round Rubiks cube is going to squash me like a bug!

Lol, it exists, but lets not uncover something we don't want to see, eh?

Some round cubes are best left unearthed.

Someone please ring up Indiana Jones and Lara Croft on speed-dial before one of them goes mad, and starts unleashing the underworld with a round Rubik's cube. At that point, humanity will be plunged into armageddon.

Lara Croft is hot AF!

Mate, don't even get me started... I don't need another thing to keep me awake tonight 😍

Haha... Call me drum rolls... "The New Age Indiana Jones" for I shall not flee from the power of the round cube

I can see you're a brave soul who laughs in the face of round cubes.

Let's see if he'll laugh once a round cube starts rolling his way.

Lol...Where would the world be without gif's.

Its the most amazing creation to have blessed God's green earth. I don't know who made this, or what the context was... But I can respect its creation. It's bloody marvellous.

You are courageous, but foolish to think that any mortal's psyche could survive a round Rubik's cube. Turn back, before its too late.

And who said I was mortal?
I am half Zeus, half man and half cyborg.

I know your mortal mind is wondering how there are THREE HALVES in one person. Wonder no more!
Just call me the ONE AND A HALF MAN

Hmm... with three entire halves, you might just be hardy enough to resist the power of the round cubes. Go now, and godspeed.

Oh. My. God... I went ahead and Googled "sphere rubiks", and I found this. Honestly, I don't think I want to live anymore, when the demon throws crap like this for us humans to solve.

Whoever made this deserves to be tortured 🤣

I imagine this is the best tool to punish your kids with. I don't know why parents are beating children, and sending them to the naughty corner when you could force them to complete this. If it were me, I would never get on my parents' bad side again, ever 😆

If you force me to complete this, I would come back after 2 hours with a cane so you whoop me instead 😂😂

Fine... Have it your way, then. 🤣

Damn you...Parading your Rubics pyramid in front of me, taunting with its Rubiksy-goodness knowing I am Rubiksless...Evil fella, you're evil.

P.s. This was a shamefully immodest attempt at showing off your shapely legs on the chain Zack. Show off.

Take my pyramid, you peasant! I don't know it might be possible, but I guess its attributed to the fact that it has fewer sides, since the pyramid is so much easier for me to solve than a cube.

I won't lie however, I need to show off a bit of that leg-day action. If I hadn't covered it somewhat with the pyramid, you'd be in awe of my calves ;-)

One can only show off so much Zack-leg before the ladyzz start swooning and going weak at the knees.

Oh, you know they do. I bet you they'll reach climax just at the sight of those calves, including the males ;-)

Not that this is particularly germane to this discussion but are you sitting on the toilette? Aren't you afraid that you'd go in with the wrong hand and put that point into a fairly sensitive spot? Asking for a friend.

Lol, this is in fact my bedroom. It might be the climate, but Asian homes are generally covered with tiled floors, but you'd find wood, too. Even if this was the toilet, I'm not sure if I'd stick this up somewhere sensitive. It looks mighty painful, and besides, I already have some A&W inside of me 😆

I had not seen one in the shape of a pyramid, the squares I could never solve, I congratulate you for that ability.

I've never been able to solve a cube either! Maybe its the fact that there's two less sides to complete, or maybe the shape of the pyramid itself has fewer ways to rotate. But it's soooooo much easier to solve!
