Math meets the world's largest magnet Rubik's cube



The Mathologer and his new best friend Owen Lillywhite are making history by designing and building the world's largest magnet Rubik's cube(s). Watch them have some fun and along the way find out about some very mathematical polarity chasing, catch a glimpse of the Mathologer's Rubik's cube collection and learn about the ingenious magnet cube design that predates Rubik's famous cube.

There are a couple of videos on YouTube in which various people build these and there are also descriptions on making your own on the web, for example, on Instructables.com and Owen’s website.

  1. Can you please put a video on maths of Rubik's cube can you teach us math of Rubik's cube
  2. Not sure if anyone will see this, but here goes anyways.

    I purchased one of these magnetic cubes and I am a cube novice. The model is slightly different and it doesnt seem like the magnets are as strong. Occasionally when I go to make a turn, I push a row off of the cube.

    On a normal cube, you can't tell which way the center is aligned, but with dice it is very noticeable. If my center is oriented wrong, is that a sign that I have placed my cube together incorrectly? I saw the other video about the impossible rubiks cube, and know that only even solutions are solvable.
  3. That 2x2 magnetic one looks sweet.So I took him 9 hours just to make it...or is that the total time to think it all out plus constuct it?
  4. im pretty sure the 3x3x3 is just a regular supercube. nothing too fancy about that one unless the core can have its own orientation... hmmmmmmm it's very hard to imagine if that's the case....
  5. that was the best editing ever!
  6. oh noooo that conversation video edit was so distracting! But great stuff all the same. love your work sir
  7. Number of magnets required for n x n x n cube = 6n x n x (n-1).
  8. Buen video themayonesa nunca nos decepcionas :)
  9. Darn you. Giving combinatorics problems as homework. :P
  10. could you make all cubes with a ball in the center and would that make it more stable
  11. Great video! But stop using the word "supermagnet" ahahah that should be cooled down to 0.00something Kelvin.
  12. Wooooow
  13. are you indian???
  14. matholger, does fisher sell his peta ball to the public? so far I've only seen two people with it : fisher and some other guy.
  15. That would actually be a reason for me to start playing with cube puzzles; I love magnets

    (And sorry for ruining the perfect 2^8 comments. It's a prime now, so that's nice as well)
  16. I love your toys!!   :)
  17. Now you need to make a new cube-in-a-Klein-bottle with a manufactured magnet cube. You could likely sell them for a decent profit. If you don’t, someone else probably will.
  18. Have one of theses.. I gave it to my Daughter.. 3x3x3... all clear with the dots on the dice colored. I special ordered from the same dude here in north carolina.. back in 2009, or 10.. I love it..

  20. Why not alternate magnets with ferro magnetic materials instead of magnet to magnet?
