If you’re one thing like 99.9 p.c of the inhabitants, you’ve in no way checked out a Rubik’s Cube and thought, “wow, I sure wish that thing was a whole lot harder to complete.” If, then once more, you’re one of the zero.01 p.c of parents who like their Rubik’s cubes tougher than Chuck Norris’ steak, likelihood is you may must ponder ordering the model new world-record Rubik’s cube created by Greg’s Puzzles entrepreneur Grégoire Pfennig.

In distinction to your boring outdated 9 x 9 x 9 Rubik’s Cube, this 3D-printed monstrosity (and we suggest that in the best possible method) measures in at an intimidating 33 x 33 x 33 of twisting cubiness. To put that decide in perspective, it’s significantly greater than the sooner world data, which involved 22 x 22 x 22 cubes and, sooner than that, a 17 x 17 x 17 mannequin. As Pfennig components out, its 6,153 elements — which took him roughly 202 hours of labor to assemble — represents in all probability essentially the most elements of any puzzle ever made. It will take anyone who dares attempt to treatment it, “multiple hundred hours” to take motion.

“I’ve had a lot of fun in the past seven year designing twisty puzzles, because they’re always a nice challenge to solve,” Pfennig knowledgeable Digital Trends. “Ever since Rubik’s cubes have become increasingly popular, with hundred of thousands of competitors, and millions of people who share this hobby throughout the world, there have been a lot of YouTube channels revolving around cubing as a hobby. Some has reached a hundred thousand subscribers, and one has even reached 1.2 million. I decided to make my channel more popular, because I love sharing my designs with people who have similar interests. What better way to do that than to break a world record? This is the idea that started it all.”

Pfennig says that, as far as his puzzles go, this one isn’t in all probability essentially the most robust, although it takes the longest time frame to complete. If you merely can’t dwell with out having a go to your self, you presumably can place an order for a custom-built copy your self from Olivier’s Sticker Shop — the place the worth is prepared at a not-insignificant 15,200 euros ($18,000). You’ll must attend three months whereas Pfennig finishes establishing it and sends it off to you, though.

Good luck! We’ll protect our fingers crossed that your efforts don’t end like this poor fellow’s! (Skip to the tip of the video to see what we’re talking about.)
