[CubeHead]

Never thought a Rubik's cube would make me emotional 🥲

use code "CUBEHEAD" for a HUUUUGE discount and a free logo!

[MasterofTheDucks]

The reason the ad says 'more than 3 billion' was because it was thought that most people wouldn't even be able to comprehend how big 43 quintillion is or even know what a quintillion is.

[AveryHyena]

It says 3 billion and not 43 quintillion because the average person sees "43 quintillion" and goes "what does that mean", but when they see "3 billion" they say "wow that's a large number"

[NCmountainview]

The old cube definitely comes apart without breaking it. The only way I ever solved one in the eighties was snapping it apart and putting it back together piece by piece in the correct format. Nice video, this just oddly popped into my feed, and I give it a like.

[ClemDroning.]

Now that we know that cubehead took 1 minute to solve it, solving it in 55 seconds at the time seems a lot more impressive

[bertsy]

At least now I know I can defeat CubeHead in a cubing battle as long as he uses a 44-year-old Rubik's cube.

[brundle_fly_]

The poor seller when you said you would open it 😭

[ChewbaccaCuber]

Was it just me or were you guys scared that he would throw the 80’s cube at the wall?!





Great video btw, I really love these kind of CubeHead videos

The packaging is missing the sticker on the top. It was a gold sticker that had "Ideal" printed on it.

[maxim]

Hey milan! I wanted to thank you again for having the opportunity to meet you at Euros! I was the one with the custom cubehead-necklace you signed. It really means a lot to me! Hoping to see you again at some competition!

[CoachTabe]

The Deluxe version is fun - tiles instead of stickers. I still have mine from back in 1982!

[vector]

Ernő would have done the same. (I also) The Cube was made to solve it, not to look at it.
You honor the cube and not the Packaging and thats cool. yo man. ^^
Greetings from Hungary.

[kyuubed]

Mad respect, bro opened a 40 year old cube just for a video 🔥🔥🔥

[creativesparks]

7:10 this hurt me too! BUT!! Honestly you’re the best person to do it because you’re opening ONE expensive cube so millions can experience it as well.

My best friend’s older brother Max, deceased, was a closeted nerd. He was a professional motocross rider, was in the Army and was an early 80s guitarist in a hard rock band.

During this time in his life, he collect pretty much every toy. He kept everything in its original packaging and always bought a second unit to be unpackaged. He has every original Star Wars IV, V and VI figures, every GI Joe and so many others.

Max also had several Rubik’s cubes still in the original packages plus many other just sitting in drawers and such.

My friend has had several people ask him to sell Max’s collection of toys ( and comics actually ), but Tony says absolutely not. Max was his hero and after Max was injured in a motocross race that left him a quadriplegic with a severe head injury, the collection means far more to my friend than money would.

I'm 50 now and owned an original Rubik's when i was a kid in the 80s.

I recently bought one for my daughter, having never touched one since the 80s.

I was surprised by how lightweight and "cheap" it felt because the turning motion was so loose in comparison to what i remembered.

Obviously in the 80s it was just a toy. It wasn't designed for competitive speed cubing, and that's certainly not what i used it for as a kid.

I really miss the stiff turns, it made the puzzle feel more substantial. The modern one just feels so flimsy by comparison.

Oh and i definitely "solved" my cube in the 80s by popping out the pieces. I can't vouch for the strength of 45 year old plastic but it can definitely be done.

[curiousNic]

No surprise that they nailed the terrible turning after decades of experience. I wonder what hints they send the people back who askeld for help. Hopefully they were better than their calculations.

[Cinitooyun]

2:52 but isnt 40 quintillion combinations more than 3 billion?

[MartynRice]

I have one of the 1980s cubes, it belonged to my Mum, who could solve it in 3 minutes (mostly intuitive, corners first method). She also had the OG 4x4 and Rubik's Ball

[SBCuber]

Thanks for putting it out there that white was next to yellow, which put blue next to green, on the original Rubik’s cube. I have one, but no one ever believes me. They just think mine is a cheap knockoff from back in the day.
