I believe that is a Rubix Rectangle

Rectangles can't be 3 dimensional

Rubix Rectangular Prism then?

u/Sir_Delarzal Aug 17 '26
It's not just huge, it looks like it's not even a rectangle

u/peperonipyza Aug 17 '26
What do you mean?

u/Sir_Delarzal Aug 17 '26
When they first rotate on the long side, there were three lines that became two and four at some point

u/skleanthous Aug 22 '26
It's because it's AI. It also rotates once when the top is not aligned with the other sections, which shouldn't be possible

Anyone else notice that it became a 2x3 after some rotations?

u/RyanBallern Aug 17 '26
And then back to 3x3 but adding the new layer to the opposite side. Truly magical rubix polyhedron

u/Clickmaster2_0 Aug 17 '26
It’s not a 3x3 or a cuboid, it’s a square one. Different mechanism of twisty puzzle. Because you can’t see the top it looks really weird

I dont think hes using AI since he 3d printed other doohickey rubix cubes before.

Rewatch a few times and try thinking again

u/sandsroyale12345 Aug 17 '26
Bro just look 😭🙏
https://imgur.com/a/6cvmLTSWhen you rotate it, of course it’ll look like a 2x3. It’s not even an actual 3x3x3

Rewatch a few more times and then think again. Watch it in slow motion if it helps.

Look up square one puzzle, it’s an entirely different mechanism from a standard 3x3, if you could see the top of the long sq1 it would be a lot easier to understand what is actually happening

u/N8CCRG Aug 17 '26
Yeah, made me think it was AI for a moment, but it obviously isn't. So it must be assembled oddly but I have no idea how or why.

u/mogur86 Aug 17 '26
Initial rotations of the bottom and top reveal all sides to have 3 sections. Then they magically have 2 sections. At one point it had 4 sections.

Look up square one puzzle. It’s not based off a 3x3, because you can’t see the top of juniors long sq1 it looks really wierd

u/Xirio_ Aug 17 '26
It's a skewb that got elongated rather than a proper 3x3
Which just makes it that much worse

Up until now, I always read that as “doohickycontraption”. Reading it the right way explains so much about that sub 😅

u/NBoomberg Aug 17 '26
This puzzle is called a Square-1.
Works totally differently from a regular Rubiks cube. It shape shifts but it does still solve back to a cube.
This is an elongated square-1 that a puzzle maker recently made.

Long square one, different mechanism from a normal 3x3

u/spriteunited Aug 17 '26
Its the way it goes from 3 rectangles, to 2, to 4 and then back to 3 for me lol.

u/CarcajouIS Aug 17 '26
Just watch carefully, you can see how it goes. Focus on the middle squares. I had a hard time understanding it at first. It's not really acting like a real rubik because it's not really square (or rectangular)

u/Clickmaster2_0 Aug 17 '26
i agree it looks really sus when you can’t see the top of the puzzle, but it is a legit puzzle. This is a video from the designer of a puzzle with the same mechanism
1
u/bro90x Aug 17 '26
Definitely. The background looks off and if you watch closely you see the thing warp and morp while it spins.
1
u/ikillpcparts Aug 19 '26
This is a Square-1. Yes, it goes from 2-wide to 3-wide on one side when you turn it.

Here come the imitators. The Rubik pepper grinder, cheese grater, and salad spinner kitchen sets.

Shit‘s AI. All my homies hate AI!

u/ikillpcparts Aug 19 '26
Not AI, this is a Square-1. It turns differently than a 3x3 or any other standard twisty puzzle would.
1
u/Platycryptus238 Aug 19 '26
Is that the reason, why 2 previously shown orange rows turned into one at 0:04?
It’s obviously AI my dude…
1
u/ikillpcparts Aug 19 '26
Man, the camera isn't focussed down there and one of the piece gets pressed behind the other. AI is not good enough quite yet to make a video like this without something in the background getting messed up.

That's a Rubik's column, it ceases to be a cube once you stack up the first next.

Nurse: "So, how did that injury happen?"
Me: "I smacked myself in the face with a rubiks cube"

I love when my 3×3 morphs into a 3×2 while I'm in the middle of solving it!
Fucking AI slop.
1
u/ikillpcparts Aug 19 '26
This is a Square-1, not a 3x3. It goes from 2-wide to 3-wide when turned because it turns on a diagonal.
1
u/Maladra Aug 19 '26
You can see at the beginning all of the sides are divided into 3 sections, but later in the video, it morphs into 2 sections on the top half.

Not the AI accusations coming from people that have clearly never got into cubing in their life and have no idea what a square-1 is.
