Every time I solve the Rubik's Cube, a piece disappears 

Oh btw it didn't even occur to me that center pieces are also pieces LOL (they're not really pieces so whatever)

J perm: has no pieces Also J Perm: the yellow cross looks good

That moment when he beats your average with missing pieces…

15:34 I'm glad to see all the knowledge you prepared for your 1x1 tutorial finally paid off

Its interesting how the difficulty changes as more pieces are removed. At first, it makes it more difficult because you have to figure out which piece is the missing one. After a while though, the amount of pieces that are left to place is so small that it takes very few moves. Very cool!

This is literally me with stickered cubes. The more I solve, the more the stickers peel off and the more I have to guess.

Hey, I did some calculations and the average time was 16.228s. Meaning that it’s closer to the 12th attempt then to the 11th, witch is the middle point. Interesting isn’t it

I gotta say, I have no idea what your talking about when you say u perm, oll, or any of those cubing terms, I just find your videos satisfying to watch. I know ur channel is intended for cubers, but I just like watching this.

Never closed cs timer so fast.

I like how those 30 second times are slow for him, and I'm just sitting here like, "I can't even get my solves under 1 minute!!"

I haven’t looked at a rubrics cube in YEARS let alone touched one. I was never good at them to begin with, so I thought this was going to be such an interesting video. I keep having to pause the darn thing because trying to keep up with this man’s movements and logic is hurting my brain! 🤣 Fascinating, but I’m gonna need a moment before I can see another video 😵

I feel like it would be cool to do it with one of the cubes that can be tracked by a software so you can know if you actually solved it or if the black squares are wrong

14:15 jperm holds the wr for 3x3 14:35 jperm breaks his record 15:39 you didn't touch the cube

I'm expecting the graph to be a bell curve, because at some point there will be so many blank pieces that you can ignore. Like the final iteration will be something like 2 moves to get the one piece with color to where it belongs.

I can solve a cube with every single piece missing.

The Arena is a certified butterfly-free zone. No distractions for P.E.K.K.A, only destruction. The Mini P.E.K.K.A card is unlocked from the Training Camp (Tutorial). He is a fast, single-target, melee troop with moderate hitpoints and very high damage. He is clothed in gray metal armor and wields a smaller version of the P.E.K.K.A's sword. His horns are a bright vivid team color, along with his single eye. A Mini P.E.K.K.A card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. ADVERTISEMENT Strategy Like the Prince, he is best used defensively against single troops and then for a counterattack due to his slow attack speed but very high damage. He can be used with high hitpoint troops, such as the Giant or Golem, so that they tank all of the damage dealt by opposing units while the Mini P.E.K.K.A deals massive damage to them. However, this strategy is very vulnerable to swarm cards, so it should be used cautiously. A Mini P.E.K.K.A can defeat equally leveled Musketeers, Wizards, Electro Wizards, Ice Wizards, and Magic Archers in one hit for a similar Elixir cost, making him useful for quickly taking out these troops behind a tank. Most grounded units, even Skeletons, placed at a distance are capable of eliminating a Mini P.E.K.K.A with the help of a Princess Tower. Area damage units and spells complement the Mini P.E.K.K.A and its synergies well since its slow hitspeed is ineffective versus swarms. Slower and tankier area damage units like a Valkyrie should be placed in front of the Mini P.E.K.K.A so it can push them forward more quickly, while they tank for the Mini P.E.K.K.A faster and more fragile area damage units like the Fire Spirit should be placed behind it so it can protect them. Due to the many positive Elixir trades that can be made on a Mini P.E.K.K.A, it is generally not effective to send one down the lane by itself, as this usually results in a waste of four Elixir. However, if the opponent happens to be low on Elixir or lacks a cheap counter, then this strategy is capable of dealing major damage to the opponent's tower or can force a bad trade. The Player should never ignore a Mini P.E.K.K.A in the opposite lane, as it can easily deal massive damage or even destroy a Princess Tower if not dealt with. Defensively, the Mini P.E.K.K.A can be used to easily annihilate a great variety of enemy troops (for example the Giant and Musketeer) due to his high damage output for the relatively low cost of 4 Elixir. With the help of an Arena tower, a Mini P.E.K.K.A placed near the center of the map can stop Elite Barbarians for a positive Elixir trade. A Mini P.E.K.K.A is a great counter to the Hog Rider, allowing at most one hit on the tower. If the player has an idea of when and where the opponent will send in their Hog Rider, they can hover their Mini P.E.K.K.A in the middle of the lane and deploy it the instant the opponent places the Hog Rider. Doing this will completely shut him down. If the Hog Rider is accompanied by fast grounded units like Skeletons or Goblins, the Mini P.E.K.K.A may retarget onto them, disrupting the player's defense. Using a spell to quickly destroy the Skeletons so that the Mini P.E.K.K.A can help defeat the Hog Rider is recommended, even if it is a negative Elixir trade, as the Hog Rider will get much more damage for only a small Elixir advantage otherwise. He can eliminate or cripple most tanks by himself as long as they do not deal high damage themselves, like the P.E.K.K.A. However, if there are support troops behind the tank, he should be placed to target them first or they will threaten to eliminate him. A quick and deadly combo is the Miner paired with the Mini P.E.K.K.A The Miner tanks all the damage while the Mini P.E.K.K.A does the damage. This can easily take a Tower. However, it can be fully countered with a Skeleton Army if the Skeleton Army is played early enough (i.e. one portion of the Skeleton Army goes for the Miner while the other Skeletons distract the Mini P.E.K.K.A). Many players tend to use small units against the Mini P.E.K.K.A; the player can use this habit to their advantage by assisting it with an area damage spell or a splash damage troop, such as Fire Spirit or Princess. ADVERTISEMENT History The Mini P.E.K.K.A was released with Clash Royale's soft launch on 4/1/16. On 9/2/16, the Chest Rewards & Card Balance Update increased the Mini P.E.K.K.A's hitpoints by 3%. On 3/5/16, the May 2016 Update increased the Rare card level cap to 11 (from 10). The Mini P.E.K.K.A. was changed to be affected by pushback. Additionally, the Mini P.E.K.K.A's sound effect when deployed was updated. The sound effect now sounds like "Pancakes", and a tweet by the Clash Royale official Twitter account implied that that was the correct interpretation. It had a real life Mini P.E.K.K.A standing next to a Giant Skeleton, with the caption "Who wants pancakes?". On 11/8/17, a Balance Update increased the Mini P.E.K.K.A's damage by 4.6%. On 24/1/18, a Balance Update increased the Mini P.E.K.K.A's hitpoints by 7%. On 1/7/19, a 'Rulebook' Update increased the Mini P.E.K.K.A's range from 1.05 to 1.2 (now classified as Melee: Medium). On 5/5/20, a Balance Update decreased the Mini P.E.K.K.A's range from Melee: Medium to Melee: Short (1.2 tiles -> 0.8 tiles). On 3/11/20, a Balance Update decreased the Mini P.E.K.K.A's attack speed to 1.7 seconds (from 1.8 seconds) and its first attack speed to 0.4 seconds (from 0.5 seconds). On 27/10/21, the 2021 Quarter 3 Update increased the level cap of all cards to 14 (from 13). On 3/2/22, a Balance Update decreased the Mini P.E.K.K.A's attack speed to 1.6 seconds (from 1.7 seconds)

Here’s a challenge: solve the Rubik’s cube but for every turn, do 3 turns to the opposite way instead. And time yourself :)

When JPerm's bad times are your PBs:

Such a great idea! Nice all the solves were kept under a minute. If I took this challenge, my times would likely get over a minute. Well done!

Awesome idea. Love how you realized about the magnets halfway through

15:39 do it again, it's less than 0.06 seconds Note: What I mean is that according to WCA regulations, when you get a time of under 0.06 seconds you do a resolve. Since this is less than 0.06 seconds, a resolve is needed.

When Jperm can solve a cube faster than you while his pieces are disappearing is just sad L

The part where J Perm is just doing better than my fastest time with black pieces makes me want to rethink my life choices.

Practice really does make this a lot easier. When i was moving i had a 3x3 that “lost” some pieces, as in the some stickers got scraped off. I was able to consistently average better with it than the new main cube i got because of the freedom of orientation, i would regularly change my cross to one with heavy f2l pieces missing or last layer because you can spam high tps algs without doing needing full recognition

You could also try to solve a minimally stickered cube: a 3x3 cube which has the fewest number of stickers possible while still having only one solved position. For example, just two adjacent center stickers is enough to determine the color scheme, and you can have edges or corners with no stickers or the same stickering, since the parity constraints of the cube would still enforce one solution. Interestingly though, no one has ever proven the actual number of stickers needed and I think the best we know of at the moment is just 26 stickers being required on the cube. Anyways, this may be something fun to play around with.

I thought even just one or two would be a piece of cake, but I now see how difficult just removing the color really is. It makes sense, and it should’ve been obvious from the start, but I just didn’t see how bad just losing one piece would be. I’m not a cuber, but I enjoy watching the, because it’s fun.

I love how you can read the hands ready to move in the small trembles he has when thinking

Really glad I picked solve 7. I'm not a cuber, but I am a web developer and figured that was around the point where there would be enough missing information to make it difficult, but also too much remaining information to just swap a bunch of pieces.

Non cuber be like - it is more easier because there are less colours LOL

This is the most fun new cubing idea I've seen in ages... Could be a nice new head-to-head variant as an unofficial event in comps...

This video somehow made me realise how to solve a 4x4. Looking up guides never helped 😂 I can't wait til my hand heals (I lightly burned them) so I can finally solve it. I've had it unsolved for a decade lol

0:06 solve 1 (8.570) 0:38 solve 2 (11.935) 1:31 solve 3 (24.180) 2:37 solve 4 (17.268) 3:30 (35.107)

14:56 ONE PIECE WAS SLOWER, because it has 950+ EPISODES !! (It was a bad joke, Ik)

You know J perm is a god when he 1 looks the entire solve!

i really enjoy the way he throws down the cube in a rush for best time.

I think one explanation for the curve is because the black pieces act as a free space. When there are only a few, it can cause an unusual parity which can be difficult to solve, but when more of the pieces are black, parity occurs less because there are less pieces that can be wrong.

Fun fact: at the end of patrons there is sometimes a bonus secret message from Dylan

What would be really cool is if you did this with a cube that’s Bluetooth connected so you could see if you had any accidental corner or edge swaps

I love when u solve a cube, its so satisfying

Watching this feels like a form of mental decay a la "Everywhere at the End of Time". Each step, the cube decays like a mind gradually losing memories

Hi, JPerm. I had an idea for a video: a competition tutorial. I know, there is the video about 5 things you shout know before the first competition, but i would like a absolutely basic tutorial about the process and rules of competitions for people how has NO IDEA of it, but would like to go to a competition. Btw: I' m a big fan.

Another example of what an amazing cubing channel this is. Has this experiment been done before? What a great idea!

better title : everytime i solve the rubix cube, a piece noclips into the backrooms from corner cutting to hard.

6:36 that moment when someone beats your pb by 3 seconds and still sounds depressed

I remember my first cube was missing stickers and more of them were falling off. It was fun to adapt.

When J perm solves a cube with 8 pieces gone and yet he can be faster than you solving a normal cube…

"Everytime I solve a Rubik's cube I lose a finger" Great video idea

My prediction is that the quickest will be 1 piece left (that just starts solved, right?) and the longest will be with 8 pieces replaced (12 left?), with a bell-curve-type shape

4:41 The first white cross piece has fallen. F for respects to the blue-white edge 7:39 The opposite color couldn’t live without its fellow piece. The green-white edge has left 13:16 The orange edge held on for so long, but couldn’t resist succumbing to the disappearing pieces And even through all of that, through losing its fellow comrades, the red-white edge lived on for the white cross. Salute to the red-white edge o7

I just learned solving my rubik's cube yesterday and this feels so overwhelming

Omg you're sooo close to a million. Amazing video btw!

My guess is that times will drop fairly quickly. Maybe after the 4th or 5th piece it will drop. I came to this conclusion because I expect you to be able to hide any uncertainty with the blank pieces. And you may not notice some parity because it's "hidden" in the blank pieces.

"Well, I guess slowest will be with about 7 pieces missing." "Yes. I was right. Attempt number 7 was the slowest." "Wait, no, attempt number 1 was with a full cube, so attempt number 7 is with 6 pieces missing."

6:52 Jperm :"I think I should think it like a beginner" 10 seconds later : "Ahh I can use Keyhole out of this" Edit: Thx for the likes people

This is a great psychology experiment. You’ve programmed your brain to manipulate this puzzle in a specific manner and by removing key elements of that manipulation, you’re revealing that you’re not actually testing your problem solving skills, but satisfying a pre-programmed compulsion. The concept of “solving” becomes an abstract.

"I hope I inserted that INcorrectly" -J Perm

Finding a Double X cross while almost ALL THE PIECES are removed, shows how talented he is.

When the video was posted 17 seconds ago and you’ve seen 18 seconds of it: *I am four parallel universes ahead of you*

this is so cool you deserve more

I've got an idea for a fun challenge: solve the cube but every pair you make becomes one piece. For example, if you get the red-blue edge and the red-blue-yellow corner next to each other with the red and blue aligned, they're now just one piece and they can't be separated. That would limit the movements that can be done and I wonder if it could make the cube unsolvable. My mind goes immediately to more detailed rules. Just pairs made during the scramble or also during solving? With or without counting center pieces? Could it work with triplets? Or on a bigger cube?

What would have been really interesting is if you somehow kept track of each piece you replaced, so we could see how unsolved the cube actually is lol when there is only a couple black pieces, there is still only one correct solve. But like you mentioned when there were 4 pieces, technically, they could be positioned in a number of ways and it still solve. So it would be cool to see how accurate those positions were. Although I know it would be incredibly difficult to track those pieces. You’d have to have some kind of chip or sensor on the pieces you replace.

4:29 the fact that Jperm had to lose 4 pieces on the cube for me to even be able to get a faster time than him

4:15 Ab Perm: Hello bro J Perm: What is this? ... Oh it's a Ub Perm

I think this would be really interesting with the cube that comes with an app showing its position so you can see how close you are to actually solving it

I guessed the results fairly well. I assumed t would get harder originally but as more pieces got removed I figured it would start seeming easier and more intuitive.

3:31 now i have two corners *point at edges* And two edges *Points at corners*

It's super facinating to watch xD every time he's turning around the cube it feels like, he sped up the Video, but it's not the case xD

You probably won't see this because this video is 7 months ago lol, but this is a super cool challenge. I just leaned to solve a cube the first time a couple days ago watching bright side, then after I found your channel I was able to finish the cube. My best time so far is 2:48 😅 but considering im 31 and have only been at this a week i feel like that's not terrible. I think I'm ready to learn more algs.

I love the confusion and the clarity he gets a little after when he suddenly knows what to do

Challenge idea: Solve a 3x3 by solving the corners like a 2x2, then use slice moves (and few face moves if needed) to solve the rest.

This is the DEFINITION of a speed-cubers nightmare

I don’t know anything about solving a cube, but hearing the pain in your voice during some points makes me feel much better about myself.

My best time is STILL going up... Never owned one, and the last time I tried one was before I had even heard of cube competitions... So basically figuring it out without any strategy. Still have never solved one. Mind-boggling watching things like this with that background, probably more so for the people that really have an idea of what he is ACTUALLY doing:D

the last solve, u dont even touch the cube, it should be another dnf XD

this cube is like life tbh, it gets darker bur easier

the ad I just watched in the beginning of this video is about Rick Astley holding CHIPS

That was really entertaining. I have no idea on the jargon, but just watching you work was a joy.

I really enjoyed this video!! i’d love to know how hard this would have been if you weren’t so good at BF also!

Over 20 seconds is really good, I watched your video of how to solve a rubix cube but I was still confused.

Bros “that was so difficult” is better than my regular solve

thank you soooooo much jperm, without your tutorials I wouldn't have achieved my first sub twenty solve!!

4:16 - same reaction when my mom sees my chats

J casually thinks 30 seconds to solve an all-missing cube is a lot, when we all can't even solve 1 normal cube in a day LOL

13:50 I know that feeling. In a rush I swapped 2 pieces in the yellow cross and didn’t notice. So it was a DNF.

6:35 the moment when you realise J Perm Solves Slower Than You

Personally I think the solve with one corner and one edge missing will be the longest, mainly because once more pieces are missing you can consider a cube solved even if normally there would still be one 3-cycle left or something like that Edit: oofers I was wrong, somewhat close tho

I love these 3x3 challenges by the way

9:49 stonks?

I feel like you could do a competition like this where you take the average of every solve and everyone loses the same piece each time

I really like this kind of challenges. 🔥

I like that your the one who got rid of the pieces and you still “don’t know” the lost colors

13:20. I don’t think anyone has ever said that.

0:52 “I really hope I inserted that one incorrectly”

Hey j perm I had an amazing idea it is basically the same as this but instead of the colour disappearing, the piece physically disappears (by what I mean you take out the pieces and solve it with the piece out of the cube)

wow. i was tryna get better at the belt method (jff im not stupid) but i had to keep dealing with corner twists but now i have just the alg

I really enjoyed watching this one.... interesting challenge. About 2 solves in I was hopeful that one of the solves would take longer than a minute (and make my current times look better) but no.... looks like 52 seconds was the slowest. LOL.

You should do the challenge again and see how a second attempt with some experience changes the outcome. This was fun to watch

This is really cool! I recently started rubix cubing like a month or two ago and my best speed cube is like 5 minutes, it wasn’t an actual speed cube though so… The video I watched was by Cubastic, I think

J: *insert Rubik's cube pro jargon here* Me, at 11 pm just finding something to fall asleep to: I like your funny words, magic man

Really interesting solve challenge!
