I think the reversed magnets and absurd amount of lubes counteracted each other. The magnets want to push apart while the copious amounts of lube made the pieces stick to each other.
That copious amount of lube is the cubing equivalent of when you would mix a bunch of different drinks and sauces together as a kid and dare your friends to drink it
At 7:01, the way his hand shakes so much trying to get Celeritas A out of the bottle is how it feels being weak and trying to get Adheron Heavy out of the bottle.
Next time you should definitely try adding something mildly abrasive in there like toothpaste or buffing compound, as well as something super sticky like honey, soda, or Elmer's glue! That would make it the stuff of nightmares!
This person totally deserves a massive round of applause for this (and all his other vids): he went through the pain and agony of reversing the magnets of HALF the pieces of a 7x7 AND disassembling and reassembling it TWICE. PLUS solve the whole thing after having smushed like 15 lubes and other things in it with dirty, oily, stinky hands. Also, he had to bear the feeling of hand sanitizer on a cut-yikes…
i laughed so hard at this, just tossing random stuff into a cube and making it awful, i dont know much about cubing but one day i really wanna make one of these myself just for fun
@@Peaceful_Zen_Life Even though his quality of video is extremely high, the quantity he makes them at is higher than most youtubers, even youtubers that make lower quality videos.
Next try dunking the whole thing in a tank of acetone. Mauve get some chemical-proof gloves and try to do a solve under the acetone before the cube dissolves.
Just remember that White is opposite of yellow, and if white is left of you, Red is under Blue, which is under Orange which is under Green which is under Red
How to make a worser 7x7: Step 1: throw it in dirt Step 2: give the rubix cube the same treatment of birth Step 3: Kill the rubix cube Step 4: bury it Step 5: Nothing Step 6: Nothing
this popped up on my recommended at 1am. i've literally never touched a rubik's cube in my life, let alone know much of anything about speedcubing. this is a 10/10 video and i will not hear otherwise.
OMG this has given me an idea for a contest - a cube that's ruined similar to this, sitting in vegetable oil, 40 contestants. First one to solve it without breaking it wins.
Take some of the pieces, sand one internal face half a millimeter flatter, and glue a different material onto it. Like sandpaper. So that some of the twist planes have got completely random resistance. Have the side tension also random. A non-newtonian-fluid un-lubricant. And make some of the outside faces sticky, and glue more sandpaper squares onto others, it'll feel horrible.
Guy: yo I have been looking for a 7x7x7 cube because I want to learn how to solve it! z3cubing: oh yeah I have a free perfect 7x7x7 for you! Guy: ok perfect. The 7x7x7:
When you added the WD-40, I whispered "no" at my monitor. When you added the vaseline, it turned into me whispering "NONONONONONONONONONONO" and my housemates wondering if I was okay.
This should be a new official tournament genre, HORRIBLE cube solutions... The person to trow it out the window and give up on cubing permanently last, wins. 🤣😭
Oh no, I remember applying WD40 to two cubes that I had which were really hard to turn because I didn't know anything abt cubes and I wanted to make it turn better thinking "WD40 should just work for everything!"
“it was super loose now it’s kinda tight, it’s got about a dozen lubes in it and a bunch of things that aren’t lubes and now it’s super slippery to the point where i can hardly hold it” - Z3cubing
WD-40 is mostly a displacer instead of a lubricant, so it probably just pushed most of the good lubricants out. Adds to how cursed the video is tho so it's good
Here's a useful bit of knowledge for ya: WD-40 isn't a lubricant. As the name implies, it's actually a water dispellant, and should only be used as a lubricant if you intend to disassemble whatever you are putting it in afterwards, as it is also corrosive.
It exists, but it took DAYS to make. Imagine all of that hard work and money it would take to get a 17x17, take it apart, buy some magnets and add some, yeah. Not ideal.
