Help me settle a dispute!

My friend has a Vcube. He says it’s used in competitions and works just like a rubic’s cube, but is faster, which (he says) makes it a Rubic’s Cube. I said that it was NOT a Rubic’s cube because it isn’t lisenced under the company and a real one (even if it was lubed) could never go that fast, which just makes it a Cube PUZZLE.

A RUBIC’S CUBE

A V-CUBE WHICH IN REALITY IS WHITE

You must be logged in to vote:
  1. Yes its a Rubic’s Cube
  2. No its just a cube puzzle
  3. I’m not sure…

If this is all you and your friend have to argue about, get a life. There are much worse things going on in the world

I acept your challenge! and after much studying of your question i came across this website

http://www.v-cubes.com/inventor.php

And after reading that page i have decided that the vcube IS NOT a rubic’s cube due to its structural integorratory that is needed to support the whole vcube’s body plus each side of the vcube has 25 squares while the normal rubic’s cube only has 9 squares on each side.

Most people use DIY cubes in competition, which barely have any friction at all so I wouldn’t be complaining about speed. Vcubes are mostly for 7×7 and higher, as lock ups become very common. Both cubes are one and the same, just different styles.

Anon is right though. If you focus on the voting and what he says above, the voting will show that Dylan would be correct either way.

And also yes, there are better things to argue about, I third that AND

Yes, theya re cubes that do the same thing.

The question (if you actually read it) askes if the Vcube is a rubic’s cube. The votes are yes or no. Its not a “no, no” situation.

BTW my mistake its actually a cube4u cube.

Okay, take this into account: a Rubics cube cannot go as fast as a cube4u cube, its structually different (though moves about in the same fasion) which means it doesn’t match the patent made by Mr Rubic himself, AND it’s not licenced by Rubic.

Ugh how is a Rubic’s Cube going to help people on here? It will just cause a fight and you know it because people have different opinions. Unsubscribing

The Vcube is made by a completly differnt company so therfore it will not be licenced by Rubic.

Take a Vcube, DIY cube, or Rubik’s cube up to a person on the street and ask them what it is. Take one good guess at what that person will say. Saying any of them are different is like saying that a purebred yorkie named Bill and a purebred yorkie named John are two different types of dogs. “Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.” Being that Rubik’s cube is also defined, yes, defined, as “a puzzle in the form of a plastic cube covered with multicolored squares, which the player attempts to twist and turn so that all the squares on each face are of the same color,” meaning that while these cubes are not Rubik’s brand, they are nonetheless Rubik’s cube puzzles.
