Minx Of Madness World Record 

I feel like this is the one cube where taking it apart and reassembling it would be faster than solving it.

Honestly, every turn is probably the only time that permeutatiom will ever exist

Even 1 year later he’s still solving it. That is what I call commitment!

The mix of tiny square pieces, stretched out long pieces, and big middle pieces almost make the puzzle look glitched out when scrambled. Thats my favorite thing about it, honestly

The scrambled puzzle looks like the Tesseract from Interstellar! So beautiful and mindbending.

we finally getting closer to "the longer you scramble it - the harder it is to solve"

Legend has it he's still trying to solve it to this day

When I was about 10 the Rubik's cube came out in the UK in around 1980....it was a sensation...everyone had one...I taught myself to solve it and really enjoyed spending hours with it. Fast forward to 2022 and I would probably still be trying to solve this one if it came out in 1980!!

I love the idea that a super computer would try to render this and immediately explode

As someone who has never solved a regular Rubix Cube, this just makes me cry in fear XD

It’s been a year since this was posted… I think he’s still solving this puzzle today!

At 2:36, here's what the mess in the denominator means. Firstly, it's important to define the difference between a permutation and a combination. With permutation the order (or placement) is important while with combinations it's not. So, for example, if a teacher from a class of 20 is picking two class representatives and chooses Albert and Brian, it's the same thing as choosing Brian and Albert so the different number of combinations is (20/2) * 19 = 190 (with the 2 in the denominator since the first representative chosen can be in two different spots). Now, if the teacher is choosing a president and vice president- choosing Albert for president and Brian for vice president is different than choosing Brian for president and Albert for vice president so the number of permutations is 20*19 = 380. To explain the denominator in the equation in the video, let's start with a Gigaminx. The face on a Gigaminx has a center pentagon, a middle ring and an outer ring (i.e., the edge). We're going to focus on the middle ring of one face and ignore the center pentagon and outer ring. The middle ring has five diamond shaped pieces and five trapezoid shaped pieces. Since placement of each diamond shaped piece doesn't make a difference, a solver can place the first diamond in five places, the second one in four places, the third one in three places, the fourth one in two places and the last one is forced into the remaining spot. So, there are 5*4*3*2*1 = 5! = 120 ways for the diamonds on the first face to be placed (all of which are correct in a solved Gigaminx). Similarly, there are 5! = 120 ways (again, all of which are correct) for the trapezoid pieces to be placed when solving the first face. So, with twelve faces there are twelve sets of diamonds and twelve sets of trapezoids for a total of 24 sets. With n = 2 for a Gigaminx we have 12*n*(n-1) = 12*2*(2-1) = 24 which is the 24 sets. And that's where the exponent of 24 comes from for the 5! in the denominator. Using other values of n: for n = 1 (a typical Megaminx) the exponent is 0 which makes the denominator 1 as expected since there's no user discretion where to place any piece (i.e., every single piece will be in the exact same spot when it's solved). For n = 2 (a Gigaminx) I showed above that the exponent is 24. For n = 3 (a Teraminx) the exponent is 72 as there are 6 different sets of pieces, on each of the 12 faces, that can be in five different locations each (0 in the innermost layer - the middle pentagon, 2 in the next layer, 4 in the next layer and 0 in the next layer - the edge). For n = 4 (a Petaminx) the exponent is 144 as there is one more ring than a Teraminx and each subsequent ring has 2 more pieces that can be in any of 5 places and (2+4+6) *12 = 144. Finally, for n = 10 (does it even have a name?) the exponent in the denominator is 1,080 (12*10*(10-1) = 1,080. Note that if each piece was numbered and had to go in a specific spot the exponent in the denominator would be 0.

Wow using the demon core to create an extreme puzzle is wild

“How many possible ways are there to scramble this puzzle” Me: “TOO many.” “8.6x10^7924 possible ways.” Me: “Like I said. TOO MANY!”

The amount of precision this need is unbelievable

So ready for that solved video! The dedication is wild!

Insane video, well produced, it was entertaining all the way through and I cannot believe you’re actually solving it! My guess is 70 hours 😬

Just one thing: you never mentioned how many layer this has. Edit: just counted, this is a 21x21 minx. That’s impressive great job!

This looks like a beautiful piece of art 🖼️

Legends say he's still solving it to this day.

He was so busy wondering wether or not he could he never stopped to ask himself if he should. He’s warping the fabric of reality around him.

As someone with no talent for these sorts of puzzles, I'm going to go out on a limb and say 3 years... due in part, to the sheer amount of possibilities and irl getting in the way of solving time.

This guy is honestly underrated

Guy:What do you you do for a living? corenpuzzle: I make Rubik’s cubes. Guy: Oh, that’s cool core puzzle: HUGE ONES.

I'd leave it scrambled, and just admire it. Phenomenal creation.

Those were some really interesting analogies lol

Really fun project. Easily as much fun as testing how long it takes for each stubbed toe to stop throbbing, dependant upon the order they are stubbed in.

WOW, seriously!!!!! Amazing!!!!!

After doing some research, This would technically be called the Vundaminx. Mega - 3 Giga - 5 Tera - 7 Peta - 9 Exa - 11 Zetta - 13 Yotta - 15 Xona - 17 Weka - 19 Vunda - 21 Now if only we could see a Lumaminx...

The fact he did this all from a 3D printer is insane. Plus it has stickers. Way to go man!

You know the math is serious when the numbers got exclamation marks.

Looks really cool as a decoration piece for a lamp or a base when it's not solved, I could never solve it anyway.😱

Congrats on finishing this! Must feel amazing. Can’t believe you’re actually trying to solve it lol. I’ll wager a guess of 55 hours over the course of a few weeks

every time i think coren's reached the limit, he just pulls out another one of these. this is absolutely incredible, your dedication is amazing. congrats on this huge accomplishment!

I think it looks really good scrambled as a decoration and art piece

"Your heart beats faster, as you turn the minx of madness."

I thought the Atlasminx was recent. Impressed that you surpassed it relatively quickly compared to how often such "size records" are broken. Pleasantly surprised to see the Moyu-styled multi-tiered mechanism. A proven way to get both stability and smoothness, as shown by the big Meilongs and the Moyu 21x21.

Just having the puzzle sitting on your desk scrambled makes it a pretty awesome piece of art 👍

Legend says he’s still solving it

This is insane!!

i have never seen any content abt Rubik's cube before and still got very entertained and engaged by this video, so props for your wonderful work! both in regards to puzzle designing and videomaking. I'll definitely stick around now lol

I’m just so mindblowned you managed to pull this off. This Is such an amazing design!!! I’m just speechless the amount of effort you put into making this a reality!

This is bananas!

Dude hasn't posted in a year because he's still trying to solve this beast

The 21x21 rubiks cube takes 5-6 hours to solve, but the 21x21 version of a megaminx will take around 3 days is my guess. Especially since it's a lot more difficult to turn, and megaminxes take a lot longer to solve.

I wouldn't have guessed you could actually solve it 😯 That will be cool to see. That's a real piece of art you made there man! Thanks for sharing the video 🥰

Rumor has it he's still solving it a year later.

Look at this absolute unit of a puzzle

Honestly I feel like it'll take at least a year to truly solve this monster

This is completely insane. I am so happy I stumbled upon this. This really pushes the limits of consumer 3d printing. I am still impressed by printed 2x2 and 3x3s, much less this behemoth! Incredible work. My guess for the time is: 76 hrs

“ a 1 in 8.6x10^7924 that tonight a meteor will come hurting through the atmosphere and come smashing your bed”. Just what I needed to fall asleep

The early stages of making this thing look like the most sinister way to contain something that could blow up a universe.

I didn't expect the video to have the part where it's being assembled! With how insane it looked, I thought the entire video was just about solving it. I'm blown away with this puzzle. My guess is 250 hours in the course of months because self-care is important lol Glad to see people with their passions. I'm definitely watching the solving video.

Still easier to turn than a rubik's branded cube

I think I would go insane solving this.

Looks fun

In order to become insane, you must have been sane in the first place. Coren; you're a wonderful human being and I have loved every puzzle you have made.

Incredible work! Watching the assembly was super satisfying. It's crazy to me how well it seems to turn as well. My guess is 80 hours of pure solving time, although obviously you will be taking many breaks in between.

If I'm going to die in my sleep by getting smashed to death by 616 meteorites, then I officially blame this video for my death.

This is madness!

Well now I'm getting worried that your next record will beat the part count of the 33x33x33 haha ! That being said you beat the sticker count ! Well done man, always a pleasure to see you push the FDM envelope further and further !

I'm not sure if your wrists will last long enough to solve it. Tens of thousands of turns and reorientations on a 10kg puzzle is hard work!

You created the mix of madness

The denominator is to eliminate permutations that are only distinguished by overall orientation - that is, permutations that are identical save that the whole thing is rotated on an axis. As soon as I saw that equation, I knew that number would be on that order. Factorials scale up very, _very_ quickly.

ummm, 200 hours. Fantastic job! The larger minxes aren't harder to solve from a solution perspective. But the weight of that puzzle, the sheer volume of turns it is going to take and the constant possibility of popping pieces out while still unsolved (I cringe at that possibility -- man). Just building it is staggeringly impressive. That is a serious synthesis of tech and art.

This man stared directly into the abyss and his body started moving on its own until this accursed artifact was complete. That's the only reason I can think of why someone would create this

Listen: publish this towards well known minds like yourself and challenge people to solve it. You could be the guy who makes this a worldwide phenomenon. People from all over the world come to try to solve the unsolvable puzzle hehe

I can’t with these things. Just attempting to start a regular Rubix cube stresses me out. This is just going to give me nightmares. 😂

That's a really impressive 3d print build. And omg does it give me anxiety just looking at it scrambled.

1 year for an experienced solver... and that's it. No one else, is unscrambling that.

Not much into solving them but they are hella fun to build, a few of my cubing friends have me build their stuff and honestly I love it xD

Your engineering skills are incredible! How did you get inspired to build things like this? I’m going to guess 73 hours and 24 minutes.

In Engineering, we would call that number sufficiently infinite.

Masterpiece

Are you actually kidding me, I thought that the Atlasminx would be the limit but you’ve managed to prove me wrong. Congrats on making this puzzle but I can’t believe you actually scrambled it lol

Incredible! I would say 4-5 days to solve the puzzle.

"how long will I take to solve?" 13 years.

Legend has it he’s still solving it

This is nothing short of incredible

Me trying to solve it when I was 10: this is gonna be easy! 999 year old me: done!

Thats alot of effort

Ur so lucky man to have a 3d prinder :O i wish i owned one

I SHUDDERED TO DEATH WHEN I SAW IT!!! also, the exoskeleton of it looks nice.

My guess is 87 hours. Can't wait to see it solved again!

21x21 dodecahedron. Impressive!

The amount of scramble combos there are is insane. I caculated it. It 86 with 7925 zeros after it.

My guess is he filmed the maths after he solved the cube to feel better about the solve time 😂

Incredible! Humans are making rubik's cubes larger until theyre unplayable

Dude's conjuring a Rasengan by the end lol

Solving this and creating this is hell

The Teratominx sounds like a fitting name for this, because it's a MONSTER.

Putting it together is almost as impressive as solving it.

Legends believe he is still solving it.

funny thing about the scrambeling is: at a certain point, you don’t even know if the next turn will scramble it more, or solve it more.

Hard one: ill go with a safe guess of 74 hours, 35 minutes, 58 seconds and 176 milliseconds. Great video!

i'd be so afraid of one of those smaller stickers falling off

I'm no math expert but when you put exclamation points in that mathematical equations my brain goes hmmm must be scary big number... yes... number be big!

The Quettakilominx is pretty large, but I think the amount of pieces factors for that since we can't have the pieces get too small…

dear god... i wouldnt wish the solving of this puzzle upon my greatest enemies, let alone the set up.

The number of permutations - to - one odds would be the equivalent to winning Powerball. 1000 TIMES.
