And you though that Rubik's Cube was hard.

As the sig says brain melty fun

Thats right folks its a Rubik's Hypercube. You can play with the Java applet or download the program and get one of your very own to solve.

Aw, it's not working for me... but you say it's 4-dimensional? Geez. I can never solve even a normal Rubik's Cube.

Psycho Mantis · 01-14-2006, 01:48 PM

I thought the 4th dimension was time.

Sithdarth · 01-14-2006, 01:48 PM

Its a Java Appelet and I think written in the latest code so you're going to need to update you Java to mess with it I think. Try downloading this and installing it first. It might help.

Traditionally it is but that doesn't stop people from imagining for spacial dimension and creating cool stuff like this.

I find that this explains the fourth dimension quite nicely.

The Wizard Who Did It · 01-14-2006, 02:12 PM

To put it rather bluntly, time is the dimension one step higher than that in which the object percieves things. So, since we see in 3 dimensions, time is the fourth. This hypercube works as for a being that can see in 4 dimensions, or something like that. As another example, for someone in flat-land, time is the third dimension.

Overall, cool and f*ed up simulation. Although if you know the tricks, the original rubik's cube is not all that difficult. But there are more complicated and obnoxious ones in than the original, and those suck.

Awww.. damn - tis not working for me, and I love solving these kinds of things too.

gurusloth · 01-14-2006, 11:05 PM

The only problem is that it starts out solved. You have to have some sadistic friend come over and mess it all up first, then you can try to solve it. It is a pretty cool thing-a-ma-jigger, though.

Sithdarth · 01-14-2006, 11:11 PM

If you scroll down a bit there is one you can download. You just save the .jar file to your harddrive somewhere then double click it to start the program. This one has several differnt modes allowing you to start of with a 2x2x2x2 cube with only one random turn and work all the way up to a 5x5x5x5 cube fully scrambled. So far I've made it to a 2x2x2x2 cube with 5 random turns.

Why do people do these things to me?

My God, I had my brother mix me up a good one, and I spent 3 hours on the thing before giving up!
Although I did get one of the outer sections done...
