The thing is, there's no logical way to solve it, because there is no way to differentiate between the numbers that go with each 5 on each side; so it would take an extreme amount of luck, or an extreme amount of time.

[Mr.A-Z]

great 'ible, but ,geez..that'll take a lotsa time to solve that...

[ramsterrambo]

fake cube.... thats smart...... not wasting 10 bucks for an original one :)

[J-Manoo7]

Yesh, its possible. BUT its hard because you have multiple pieces that have the same numbers. for example, on a regular rubiks cube there is only one side piece (with two colors on it) that have blue and white. on the SudoCube there are 4 pieces that have 6 and 4 on them that are exactly the same. that would never happen on a regular cube which is why most people would find this extremely harder. but like i said, it isn't unsolvable.

[budsiskos]

awesome idea but that would be nearly impossible to solve

[LinuxH4x0r]

its not true sudoko. 123 456 789 Like that

[guyfrom7up]

THOSE THINGS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO SOLVE None of my friends that can solve rubics cubes (even the 5x5x5 ones) could solve it

[bassclarinet23]

Nothing is impossible, therefore the state of being impossible is impossible.

[Shredder543]

lol

[j03b0b0fd00m]

but, if the state of being impossible is impossible, the "nothing is impossible" clause has been proven FALSE! thus, the state of being impossible may not be impossible, so it may be true that nothing is impossible afterall!

lol, conumdrum paradox!

[bassclarinet23]

Whoever makes up these little sayings really needs to think them over before using them.

[Duct Tape Dude]

Yeah like irregardless. its already regardless you're just making it regardful(?) again

[j03b0b0fd00m]

I know, right? It just makes me want to question all of existence and reality!

*existensial quandry*

[bassclarinet23]

Yes. I suppose that's why people believe in religions...(no offense to anyone) but it makes life easier.

[draik41895]

actually,i have a real one,and i can solve it.only done it once,but ive done it

[cowscankill]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL IN YOUR FACE!!!!

_ehem... My sister and I and several friends can solve the 3 by 3, and my sister can solve the 4 by 4. I also know pi.

[freemanoid]

Oh right, all of it?!?!

[IncrediblyCondensedBlackMatter]

i do not believe you XP its an easy claim to make on the internet, as nobody can see you typing it. you could copy/paste it from anywhere. 3.1415926535897932384626433832795 duhr

[cowscankill]

Well then mister Poopface, It seems I will need to make a video and post it won't I? :D (No offense :P)

[M4industries]

Still the possibility of reading off a sheet out of pan (The camera cant see)

[cowscankill]

Or I can duct tape my eyes... I mean dang, can you read 100 digits of pi that you don't know in 13 seconds? Because that is the fastest I have recited it.

[M4industries]

I believed you from the start of this comment chain. Just stating a possibility here. No wories. :P

PS
I know 20 digits. Which is nothing compared to yours.

 

[cowscankill]

Haha... and now I know 200 ^.^

[IncrediblyCondensedBlackMatter]

hey if you guys are gonna rant about this get each other's emails cuz im sick of seeing the responses in my email. i dont care if you know pi. its not very useful. its just your insecurity because you need to feel better than someone. it doesnt make you smart.

[M4industries]

You know what?
You are incredibly condensed black matter.

Why do you care if we talk about how we memorized pi to a certain degree?

[IncrediblyCondensedBlackMatter]

A: thank you, i KNOW im incredibly condensed black matter. that was the point of the name.
B: i dont really care if you talk about memorizing pi, im just letting you know you sound like asses for trying to make people feel bad for NOT memorizing pi, even if that wasnt your intent, its what you are doing.

C: again, i dont really care about you talking about it, as long as the argument doesnt fill my inbox.

KTHXBAI

[j03b0b0fd00m]

Methinks that was YOUR fault for responding to the thread. You have noone to blame but yourself!

[GnomeMaster]

[cowscankill]

100 digits, and I like... hmmm... Idk what kind of-- PUMPKIN! PUMPKIN PIE!!!!!

[Iridium7]

[IncrediblyCondensedBlackMatter]

iridium is my name on this email account (i'm incrediblycondensedblackmatter@hotmail) or maybe its irituim..... anyway, interesting coincidence.

[cowscankill]

anyway, I am more partial to pecan or coconut cream pie, myself!

[dymonddozen13]

awesome for you guys!i wish i could that is some great skills there pal!!

[PKM]

Curses, I wrote a nice long comment explaining why this doesn't work and the network went down so it didn't post. Long story short- you can't solve this like a "true" sudoku because... well, consider the 5 in your last step. It would have to be in, say, the top row on the left hand face, the bottom row on the right hand face and then there is no row available for it on the back face. The only way you can solve this is to ignore the opposite face (which is a bit of a cheat, opposite faces could then be identical and it becomes a lot easier to solve) or using a 4x4x4 cube which has enough rows and columns per face to avoid being overcontrained as this one is. I don't know whether the 4x4x4 case is possible, though, but I don't see any obvious reason why it shouldn't be.
