- Kiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+76when you solve it you become your own grandfather
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -2/+62Yes, in fact, I solved this 12 years ago.
- sundancekid503, on 10/12/2007, -1/+61Does this version let you peal the stickers off? If so I bet I could figure it out.
- sundancekid503, on 10/12/2007, -2/+62Does this mean I have to go back in time to solve portions of the puzzle?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35Two of the three people who solved it are creators
- Lososaurus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24Normal Rubik's Cubes are difficult enough, so I'm not touching this with a 10 foot, time travelling pole.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25"been solved by 3 people"
Wow, talk about bragging rights. - staple, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22well the stickers would be 4D so it may be a little tricky
- Knoton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17There are only 3 spatial dimensions that we can percieve on a day to day basis. But there are possibly up to 7 more that we can't. Also, mathematically there are any number of dimensions. Infinite, negative, fractional, whatever. A good book to read is Flatterland by Ian Stewart. This particular link is projecting the mathematical representation of a 5 dimensional cube in a 3 dimensional space onto a 2 dimensional screen.
- Enhyven, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15In the amount of time it would take to figure this out, you could probably learn to read and write coherently in just about any language. lol
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+23(In annonyingly nasaly lisping geek voice) "5 THPATIAL dimensionth, not temporal dimensionth."
Way to not have a sense of humor. Maybe you should go back in time and un-post your comment.
"digg didn't want to do it"
heh. - bendak, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16
Wow. Pretty cool. Just looking at it makes me feel dumb. - burke, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16I'm not even going to try that. I've played around with the 4D one, and it was strange enough ;)
- h4ppydotcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I can barely do a 3x3 3D one... I'll leave the hypercubes (and whatever 5D ones are called) to the Wesley Crushers of the world.
- Kappa00, on 10/12/2007, -8/+175 SPATIAL dimensions, not temporal dimensions.
- matx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Couldnt play it, my cpu went to 100% when i ran it. :( It shouldnt be doing that!
- drizek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Only girls peel the stickers off of rubiks cubes. Real men take the whole thing apart and reassemble it.
- 7of7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Wow, I still can't even solve a normal Rubik's cube. Then again, I just don't have the patience.
- scott1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7"mod me down all you want haters"
Ok - Zomar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7my brain just crashed.
- FredScarran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Pcha! Chuck Norris has already solved 6D cube.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Pretty sure that would be a Rubiks Square.
- Lane5slacker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I wonder if there is one of those sites that give you step by step instruction on how to solve this.
1. Rear Counter-Clockwise 2. Left Clockwise 3. Go back in time ten years 4. Defeat the monsters from the ninth dimension 5. rear Clockwise - gumpy5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I can't even do a 3d cube, and this just looks like you'd go crazy attempting to solve it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8It's a shame they choose to implement it in .NET.
- hizzle, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9No mac support :(
- stacky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5someone should invent a 2D rubik's cube for us lazy buggers who cant be screwed
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4How many axises you can rotate on.
- The_Decryptor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4http://ptth.net/slashdot/2d_rubik's_cube.JPG
Posted on Slashdot. - frontbrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I watched the computer solve the 2x2x2x2x2 one, and I felt like I was watching some hollywood visualization of cracking encryption.
- xmetal2001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Before "Flatterland", you might as well check out "Flatland" by Edwin A. Abbott. Not that it's really a sequel, but still nice to read the original.
- neko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Turn the middle side topwise. Topwise.
- smuirhead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Does anyone else remember the the 80's cartoon called Rubik, the Amazing Cube?
When he was solved, Rubik could walk, talk and fly.

That show was awesome. - Qenton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ugh... My brain hurts now. I'm just going to lie down and look at a dot for a while.
- bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I was always more for the 3D one... oh well, this is still pretty cool.
also, I enjoy Tetris much more. Unfortunately the only PC Tetris I've ever seen that really did it justice was the old Acid Tetris for DOS, which I can't seem to get working on my laptop anymore. - toxicredm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2↑, ↑, ↓, ↓, L, R, A, A, B, B, X, Y
- hobbla, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'll just stick to pretending like its a visualization.
- Sukino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Btw, it must be really tough for women. Every time I look at a parking lot I can tell they have troubles comprehending 3 dimensions, or even 2 sometimes.
/joke .. or was it? - MrCobaltBlue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I believe 5d would be considered a Hyper Hyper Rubik's Cube.
- Splizxer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2At least it's better than hypercube 2
- PaulOwen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Does anyone have a link to the Java implementation?
- Sukino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you are solving those, you seriously need to get laid.
- grgt1994, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Link the 4d one up here please.
- Rayonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You can even download Flatland off of Project Gutenburg.
http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/201
It holds up surprisingly well for such an old book. A very fun (and short) read. - The_Decryptor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1there is Mono for Mac, Linux, etc., but i assume this App uses System.Windows.Forms, and support for that in Mono is buggy at best.
- wintermute0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hey, that was pretty clever.
I bet #3 to solve it was the lobotomized math genius. - monkeyBox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Good lord. Even the 4D one hurts my brain. It starts out solved (I'm guessing), but click on it about four times in random places and good luck figuring out how to get it back...
http://www.superliminal.com/cube/applet.html - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm guessing the "solve" feature just remembers the list of rotations done so far and reverses it. I doubt they actually have an algorithm for solving it. Even so, I'm sure the method for solving an n-dimension cube is just an extension of the method used for solving a 3d one. Surely there couldn't be more than three people with the time and dedication to solve a 5d cube to completion.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Sukino, you're right. Women have a tougher time with spatial reasoning.
- yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"It has already been solved by 3 people"
Wow. -
