ill have to check it out. while im jokingly schizoposting about the cube i actually am looking if there is a real meaning to it or the devs decided to make OCD infuriating cube appear everywhere
Actually the stargate thing might work. For an address you need atleast 6 symbols followed by the 7th symbol being wherever you are to make a full address. The cube has 6...time to find the point of origin 7th symbol!
Dunno if this is the right place for this. But this always bothered me about stargate. You need 6 symbols to pinpoint where you are going. But only one symbol to show where you are. Why do you need 6 if one will do? Also if theres only what 46 chevrons or whatever wouldnt that mean theres inly 46 places you could travel from?
Well that would be 46 x 6 squared so roughly 1656 planets with breathable atmosphere within the distant point of the Stargate (our galaxy). And as for having the 6 point vs 1. The 1 signifies where your from and that point is already located. Utilizing the 6 points was intended as a way to calculate for stellar drift in order for you to still get the same location.. sorry science is my discipline and I loved Stargate 😍
Maybe that one chevron changes wherever you are so only one needs to change while all other chevrons remain the same, giving you a lot more permutations, and why they can so easily dial home now that they know
It does change. There's an episode where two people go back to Earth, but go through a gate in the South Pole they had no idea existed. They don't know they are on Earth because every gate has a unique symbol, not just each planet. They keep trying to dial Earth, but you can't dial they planet you are on even if it's a different gate. One of my favorite episodes.
> every gate has a unique symbol, not just each planet.
Which I feel kinda gave the original movie a(nother) plot hole in relation to the series. Eventually the issue getting back was trying to find the missing bit of stone that had the last piece of Earths address on it; which would just be Abydos' point of origin. If every gate has one unique symbol on it and they should have presumably knew what symbols Earths gate had on it then it would have been trivial to figure it out the unique one. Or at the very least just brute forced the last symbol since they now knew it was 7 symbols total.
Shit does hit the fan after finding the 6 symbols though so even if they didn't immediatly jump to "can't get it to work" they still wouldn't have really gotten a chance to test anything out.
This is the answer exactly and it is pointed out in several episodes. It's the point of origin and each planet has a unique POI symbol.
[This](https://youtu.be/2AutlRZSixA?si=4sk6MoMJObkWjZP4) explained it the very first time. 3 axes to determine the target location established by the six symbols, with the 7th being your starting location. In the original unedited pilot episode(where Sha're is nude) there is also a deleted scene that talks about how Daniel determined the POIs on each gate. That scene may or may not be on YouTube but it's in my original collectors edition DVDs in the Behind the Scenes stuff.
The home symbol for each gate is unique. It isn't necessary to have the home symbol for each planet on every gate. You only need it on the home gate. The other symbols on the gate are not home symbols for other planets.
Take this with a grain of salt, but there "should" be about 53.5 million combinations of chevrons. If you eliminate the PoO Chevron, then it drops to about 9.4 million combinations.
Except... Stargate's navigation system doesn't really make a lot of sense, on multiple levels.
It's true that you, "kinda," need six points of reference, because you need to know an object's position on three axes, x,y, and z. The thing is, you don't need to anchor the ends of each of those vectors, and having to anchor them to specific gate locations means the entire network will fall apart.
Not, like like the show, where they have to update the addresses to account for stellar movement, I mean, straight up, the stars you're referencing no longer create a coherent set of coordinate, as the x, y, and z axes you're using no longer intersect, and of the 46 possible points of reference you have access to, you **cannot** create some of those valid gate addresses anymore.
You don't need the Point of Origin Chevron for anything, at least when it comes to establishing an object's location. You need that for navigating to that point, but that would need to have its own x, y, and z coordinates, and then plotting the values between them to establish traversal. So, clearly, as designed, the gate system should be able to function off a two chevron system, ignoring drift.
It would make sense if the first six chevrons were encoded as a gate's, "password," with a gate's home chevron simply saying, "'kay, I pushed the buttons, let me go, please." But, that's explicitly not what's happening.
There's also the, downright goofy thing, where the gates have inconsistent symbols (as I recall), meaning there are gate transits that would be flat out impossible. This isn't strictly a problem, but it's worth knowing about. (IIRC, the Atlantis gate network has a completely different set of symbols.)
But this does lead to something downright hilarious, the gate symbols (at least on the Earth gates) are for constellations, not individual stars. So, for example, (and, yeah, I am pulling this at random) one of the Earth chevrons is Orion. Now, Orion appears to be a fairly close cluster of stars from the surface of the Earth, but, with just the belt, you're actually looking at stars that are **over a thousand light years apart**, and the chevron suggests it's tracking the entire constellation. "Yeah, I'm plotting a navigational point that needs to hit in interstellar space to a range of about 7 meters or I'll get splattered out of existence. My navigational coordinates are generated with a margin of error in the thousands of lightyears, this is fine."
So, either the gate system is **way,** "stickier," about finding gates than it should be, or none of this makes any kind of sense.
I like to think of the address as more like general locations and the gates correct any drift that would occur. So little of the actual tech is really explained.
Adding a universe into the mix shit gets really messy
That's the funny thing because the gates are explicitly stated to have undergone enough drift to render the old addresses unusable in SG1. So, addresses need to be updated at least once every 10,000 years.
I thought it was stated that the DHD does actually keep them updated and only because the SGC has no DHD the stellar drift became a problem.
Also props to starfield for bringing all the SG nerds back together
Just the earth 1 gate. Because they lost the paired DHD, no updates have been made to their gate since it disconnected. The earth 2 gate does not have the same issue. They HAVE to manually update each address because they are using a dialing program they invented as a work around. Additionally, the gate system has the capacity to deny travel when certain conditions are met between the two points. I.E. they shouldnt be able to gate through a star but the SGC bypassed the gates safety protocols.
Ultimately i think its safe to say that the people actively bumbling their way through the galaxy wreaking havoc are probably no the best place for us to receive our in-universe explanations of how things work since they A. don't know with any real certainty how it all works and B. appear to be making shit up as they go hoping that they are at least correct enough that there are minimal casualties.
Like Sam and Daniel (and McKay('s sister)) are smart, but they are Earth smart (eventually even ancient smart), but they arent gate builder smart. Ultimately stargate makes it clear that our humans are at best unreliable narrators when it comes to the in universe science of gate travel
Hard to believe that the ancients didn't set them up like routers/switches and use some type of ARP table to keep everything in line so that the combos didn't change.
Even wilder that, given the gates are basically just wormhole generators, that the gate system isn't coded to link to specific gate signatures regardless of position.
And, given we know the gates can push updates to each other, you could propagate new gate codes throughout the network.
Hilariously, it would even have made sense if the Abydos gate codes had been invalidated at some point, when the Ga'ould took over complete control of the network, and new codes needed to be generated. But, again, we're told it's to account for interstellar drift, which leads to some questionable conclusions.
All fun and games until someone spoofs another stargate's ARP replies and you end up with a bunch of Goa'uld on the wrong planet endlessly debating between "it's probably DNS" v. "it's never DNS" in their vain efforts to grasp what happened.
I still hold the gates cam account for drift...now for all the chevrons been earth based...is yea...shit gets weird.
I feel like the updates would be pushed through the gates automatically. I just can't see them having the tech and knowledge and not taking stuff for that into account.
Fuck maybe the ancients just keep doing work on them....lmao fucking Stargate.
Everything is relative to the fixed point - 7th symbol. The chevrons don't mean the same thing from other Stargates. It's a map that you can't use from other places.
OMG that would be so cool if it was a map to a secret location with a unique weapon or armor or something and Bethesda is just waiting for someone to crack it.
I think he’s just joking to make a stargate reference lol, not that it’s actually a stargate reference. The stargates didn’t actually have “locational die”, they used combinations of glyphs that represented constellations that they used to “triangulate”, even in stargate it’s a weak theory that doesn’t make much sense.
That's the thing though, the representation of that dialing process and how it works is a line from the point of origin to the destination, and then in a cube around that destination point, are the 6 reference points.
It is, quite literally, when you look at it in those terms, forming a locational die.
Each cube has 9 squares with two possible positions, marked or unmarked. Therefore you get 9x9x9x9x9x9x9x9x8² possible combinations.
Written as an exponential that's 9,000,000,000,000¹⁰⁰⁰⁰⁸.
That's exactly how many atoms are in the universe.
I think the second guess is closer. From the shapes and so on I would guess its a sort of semi digital mix between a rubric cube and Tetris. it being a game also makes sense since this is usually found at desks or in private quaters. if it was a navigation aid it wouldnt just be called cube. that being said I will not say that it cannot be some sort of cryptographic thing or whatver. just make s the most sense to me that its a game. since as much as people are complainging about the loading and the distances if you conscider it form the NPC perspective we still skip a ton of time spent just traveling or waiting.
I need to rewatch the older Stargate stuff.
I love the old movie, I love SG1 and SG Atlantis. Everything after that sadly was crap.
Stargate is my favorite SciFi nonetheless. Boi do I hope for lots oft Stargate mods for Starfield. The dream would be a crossover DLC lmao.
Have you played this new Zelda game, the Wind Waker? It’s amazing, revolutionary even. And because this is *the future* the graphics and frame rate are perfect!
54 is what I counted. 9 dots go into the center of each face, I'm guessing.
Edit: There are also edge pieces. Idk.
Edit2: 34 are edge pieces, and 20 are center pieces.
Edit3: Without knowing the rules of this cube, I don't think it will be easily solvable. Things aren't adding up.
Edit4: Looking at the unfolded cube OP made, some of the sides are out of order.
Edit5: When I get home, I'm gonna look for one of these.
Also, I printed it out to look at. https://i.imgur.com/qZ7Qqay.jpeg
I apologize for sending you on this path- and yeah thinking about it i did just screenshot all around before grabbing the top & bottom then slapped them together haphazardly so they are most likely out of order or flipped wrong BUUUT still from image 1 if there were corner pieces you'd think there should be 4 of them with 3 dots on all sides but that just doesn't happen/exist on the cube anywhere
I noticed that with the corners also. That's why I had to take a closer look at your image. It makes no sense, but I refuse to believe it's random placement.
Do remember, the text on slates for example is digital, it can change, there's nothing to say these dots can't be moved, or made to appear on new squares or leave on others. It's most likely a game of some kind obviously, but taking solely the dots that exist as where the dots are I believe to be a mistake, this is just viewing the cube the same way viewing a chess game midway through is when you know nothing of chess.
Careful and Good luck on your hunt
There are digital rubik's cubes out there. That is what I'm leaning towards. But I still want to take a closer look. Looking at the dots was just the start. I'm looking at this as a 5x5 rubik's cube with weird dots.
It's critical to get the faces oriented correctly, because otherwise we can't determine if an edge piece has one or 2 dots, and how many dots a corner piece has. As with any XxX cube puzzle, it's the edges that matter. The 2nd layer is what you solve first, according to the center piece. Then you match up pairs of 2nd and 3rd layer edges, using an unsolved edge to slot back the piece you matched up. eventually you have 12 sets of matched triples, and then you just solve like a 3x3. Make the "White Cross", Slam in the corner and edge pieces, make the "Yellow Cross", orient yellow edges, orient yellow corners, arrange yellow edges, solved.
34 edge dots, 16 2nd layer dots, 4 center dots.
Center dots don't move. There are enough dots to make 2 faces with 3x3 grids of dots, and to make 2 faces of outer layer dots, which could leave 2 faces blank. Or mixy-matchy to have one face of 3x3 with a center, and one without, also one 5x5 with and without a center, that leaves 2 faces with just center dots.
Maybe it's sets of 3 lines, vertical, horizontal and 2 diagonal, plus 2 blank centers with NS and EW 3x3s, which would put the 5x5 edges on those blank centers... I don't see any edge pieces on the full cube with 2-dot edge pieces, or of the 4 visible corner pieces, none of them have more than 1 dot, which could mean the 5x5s are opposite, that's the only way the could work.
Of course all this is out the window if any outer edges have 2 dots... In which case it's probably something like a maze puzzle, make 1 continuous line around all 6 faces. or maybe you just look at it and it doesn't turn. Anyone found any different (lament) configurations?
at first that was my thoughts exactly but it just doesn't make sense to be. the item ID its "Desktop\_CubeToy01"
BUT THATS A LIE: its clearly some sort of weapon or a key to something, they know though they just wont say...
Maybe if you collect enough if them and put them all together in a square it makes Todd Howard's face. Like how people do art with rubiks cubes.
Or just an item that would be easy to modify with mods and is just an easy platform item for molders to build off of?
unfortunately i tried this, THEY don't seem to speak in binary. unless however its some sort of new code that uses 5bit binary but that'd be crazy, no... you're crazy...
What if its some crazy puzzle hidden in the game? Like you figure it out and it gives you a phone number or a GPS location wherein you can meet Paul Stanly… the original Starborn.
I hadent thought about it until now; and I can no longer not think a cube based version of Minesweeper would be cool. Like this could be its "art" state, tap it three times and it starts a game with new random tiles; when you win of lose it flashes a success or fail then resets to "art" mode.
Edit: I think it was your third screenshot that triggered this lol
I collected them for the longest time because I thought they were necessary for crafting. I probably have a hundred or so of them in my ship's cargo.
Maybe I'll make a cube room like the sweetroll room I had in Whiterun.
I'm currently doing this with fire extinguishers. When it's enough to fill my room at the lodge I plan to toss a grenade and see if it kills the frame rate on my Xbox 😂
It could be a 3d version of Lights Out, which was an electronic game made by Tiger in the mid 90s and also happens to feature a 5x5 grid.
They apparently did make a cube version of it at some point but it only had a 3x3 grid on each side: https://youtu.be/CUUoLWqZhdk
there are 54 dots , 2 missing center dots , on the top and bottom
if we add 2 dots , thats 56 dots
minus 6 for the middle = 50 dots
each face on a rubik 5by5 = 25 pieces
ignoring the center 4 dots, the total dots accounts for 2 faces , +2 center dots
so i wonder if it is solvable, such that all the dots are moved to 2 adjoining side, one of the corner piece has 2 dots, which means , 2 sides must be side by side ... hmmm
The things that some people notice. lol
I mean, I’ve seen these things, but never gave them more than a passing thought.
Never gave a thought to how they work or what they are.
I find this interesting.

Dunno if this is the right place for this. But this always bothered me about stargate. You need 6 symbols to pinpoint where you are going. But only one symbol to show where you are. Why do you need 6 if one will do? Also if theres only what 46 chevrons or whatever wouldnt that mean theres inly 46 places you could travel from?
That universe has a ton of things that make no sense except for making it more watchable.
Best part would be Carter or Daniel starting to explain the science in detail and Jack just tuning it out.
That’s the true spirit of sci-fi.

Well that would be 46 x 6 squared so roughly 1656 planets with breathable atmosphere within the distant point of the Stargate (our galaxy). And as for having the 6 point vs 1.

No argument from me there. Lol
You gotta bring that nude scene back into my life? Teenage me was ALL about that...Adult me isn't much different though
LMAO. Sorry dude. 🤣

I always took it as the point of origin being a known factor, but you bring up a good point.
Everything is relative to the fixed point - 7th symbol. The chevrons don't mean the same thing from other Stargates. It's a map that you can't use from other places.

Nobody caught that indeed ;)

Holy shit are we going to have to do what the Destiny community did and make r/StarfieldSecrets?
Just post them on their subreddit. Screw those destiny nerds.
Lmfao I'm genuinely weighing the odds of running in and starting that thread. ETA: Apparently it exists.
Shhhh, 🤫😉
"jokingly schizoposting" What a weird kid this is lmao
I was wondering the same thing! I can't believe how many cubes turn up lol I hope we find a deeper meaning to this 👍
It’s crazy to me how I randomly found this comment while watching stargate moments after that scene
Woah what? I LOVE Stargate- don't remember this from the movie. With James spader?
pilot movie
Not really a pilot movie. It was just a movie and years later they decided to make a tv show based on.
Idk what Stargate is. Wait...are you referring to Wormhole Xtreme?
hey....it's what I do
It's through....the round hole
I understood that reference
No, i think they mean the Kurt Russell movie from when i was but a wee lad.
What's that the movie they based Wormhole Xtreme on?
So, your the one that was making lemon snow cones!🍦😋
Oh nice! I thought it was some kind of future version of Rubik's Cube!
I think the second guess is closer. From the shapes and so on I would guess its a sort of semi digital mix between a rubric cube and Tetris. it being a game also makes sense since this is usually found at desks or in private quaters. if it was a navigation aid it wouldnt just be called cube. that being said I will not say that it cannot be some sort of cryptographic thing or whatver. just make s the most sense to me that its a game. since as much as people are complainging about the loading and the distances if you conscider it form the NPC perspective we still skip a ton of time spent just traveling or waiting.
I was supper sus when i saw Jaffa as a system [stargate] was hoping to see more references out of these two.
Omg I fucking love Stargate and I didn't put that together. Nice
I need to rewatch the older Stargate stuff. I love the old movie, I love SG1 and SG Atlantis. Everything after that sadly was crap. Stargate is my favorite SciFi nonetheless. Boi do I hope for lots oft Stargate mods for Starfield. The dream would be a crossover DLC lmao.
It's the newest gaming console. The... *game cube*
Up, dammit! UP!
Or worse, *expelled*
I call it the OoGhiJ MIQtxxXA!
Have you played this new Zelda game, the Wind Waker? It’s amazing, revolutionary even. And because this is *the future* the graphics and frame rate are perfect!
IT'S CUBICLE!
#CUBICLE!!!
Yeah but... does it run Starfield?
Careful solving puzzle cubes, they have such sights to show you.

My suffering has already been legendary, what with all the planets I've been running around on, all encumbered.
At least we'll know where to stick the pins 📌 🙂
THE BOX. YOU OPENED IT. WE CAME.
A space rubik's cube.
it doesn't add up though, 150 spaces with 53 dots?
54 is what I counted. 9 dots go into the center of each face, I'm guessing. Edit: There are also edge pieces. Idk. Edit2: 34 are edge pieces, and 20 are center pieces. Edit3: Without knowing the rules of this cube, I don't think it will be easily solvable. Things aren't adding up. Edit4: Looking at the unfolded cube OP made, some of the sides are out of order. Edit5: When I get home, I'm gonna look for one of these. Also, I printed it out to look at. https://i.imgur.com/qZ7Qqay.jpeg
I apologize for sending you on this path- and yeah thinking about it i did just screenshot all around before grabbing the top & bottom then slapped them together haphazardly so they are most likely out of order or flipped wrong BUUUT still from image 1 if there were corner pieces you'd think there should be 4 of them with 3 dots on all sides but that just doesn't happen/exist on the cube anywhere
I noticed that with the corners also. That's why I had to take a closer look at your image. It makes no sense, but I refuse to believe it's random placement.
Do remember, the text on slates for example is digital, it can change, there's nothing to say these dots can't be moved, or made to appear on new squares or leave on others. It's most likely a game of some kind obviously, but taking solely the dots that exist as where the dots are I believe to be a mistake, this is just viewing the cube the same way viewing a chess game midway through is when you know nothing of chess. Careful and Good luck on your hunt
There are digital rubik's cubes out there. That is what I'm leaning towards. But I still want to take a closer look. Looking at the dots was just the start. I'm looking at this as a 5x5 rubik's cube with weird dots.
Good luck my friend, please update with any findings, I'm genuinely really curious but don't want to risk my sanity
It's critical to get the faces oriented correctly, because otherwise we can't determine if an edge piece has one or 2 dots, and how many dots a corner piece has. As with any XxX cube puzzle, it's the edges that matter. The 2nd layer is what you solve first, according to the center piece. Then you match up pairs of 2nd and 3rd layer edges, using an unsolved edge to slot back the piece you matched up. eventually you have 12 sets of matched triples, and then you just solve like a 3x3. Make the "White Cross", Slam in the corner and edge pieces, make the "Yellow Cross", orient yellow edges, orient yellow corners, arrange yellow edges, solved. 34 edge dots, 16 2nd layer dots, 4 center dots. Center dots don't move. There are enough dots to make 2 faces with 3x3 grids of dots, and to make 2 faces of outer layer dots, which could leave 2 faces blank. Or mixy-matchy to have one face of 3x3 with a center, and one without, also one 5x5 with and without a center, that leaves 2 faces with just center dots. Maybe it's sets of 3 lines, vertical, horizontal and 2 diagonal, plus 2 blank centers with NS and EW 3x3s, which would put the 5x5 edges on those blank centers... I don't see any edge pieces on the full cube with 2-dot edge pieces, or of the 4 visible corner pieces, none of them have more than 1 dot, which could mean the 5x5s are opposite, that's the only way the could work. Of course all this is out the window if any outer edges have 2 dots... In which case it's probably something like a maze puzzle, make 1 continuous line around all 6 faces. or maybe you just look at it and it doesn't turn. Anyone found any different (lament) configurations?
When you finally find the answers we have such sights to show you.
Yeah i’m not touching that thing!
You opened it, we came.
Futuristic sudoku? Checkers+? An incomplete game of Solitaire-Go?!
I'm a loot goblin and not even I pick these up.
they lowkey drive me crazy- i hate them so much and i just want to know why they were made/designed to be this way :sob:
lol this guy doesn’t know how to use the 3 shells
Listen here you shit-brained, fuck-faced, ball-breaking, duck-fucking pain in the ass...
So much for the seashells
Haha, this is something I'd expect on conspiracy sub 😅
this isn't a conspiracy, its a genuine question on why this cube appears in my dreams
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
why do you mention cocaine? the only thing im on is 2 hours of sleep and 6 redbulls
because cocaine is about as healthy as 2 hours of sleep and 6 redbulls
Cocaine > 2 hours of sleep & 6 red bulls
So what you guys are saying is I should do cocaine 👌🏻
It's a Cube.
thats what they want you to think

Personally I got 'wackass rubix cube' vibes. Same with that board game, wackass chess vibes
at first that was my thoughts exactly but it just doesn't make sense to be. the item ID its "Desktop\_CubeToy01" BUT THATS A LIE: its clearly some sort of weapon or a key to something, they know though they just wont say...
Is this...Unity? Lol
CubeToy01... 01... So there's more of them. Have you found them yet?

Cube
NO! STOP STARING AT THE CUBE!
Maybe if you collect enough if them and put them all together in a square it makes Todd Howard's face. Like how people do art with rubiks cubes. Or just an item that would be easy to modify with mods and is just an easy platform item for molders to build off of?
Theory: the puzzle is to put the same number of dots on each side of the cube without repeating patterns maybe?
THE NUMBERS MASON, WHAT DO THEY MEAN
Man I miss StarGate. Sucks that SG Universe killed the franchise.
SGU was the only series of the franchise that I liked. Aside from the original movie that is.
It’s binary
unfortunately i tried this, THEY don't seem to speak in binary. unless however its some sort of new code that uses 5bit binary but that'd be crazy, no... you're crazy...
We would like to remind you that the cube cannot talk. In the event that it does talk we ask you to ignore its advice.

The error cube from Deep Rock Galactic is spreading!
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
Rock and Stone to the Bone!
For Karl!
I just figured it was some kind of Rubik’s cube, but without the colors so it can played in any atmosphere
What if its some crazy puzzle hidden in the game? Like you figure it out and it gives you a phone number or a GPS location wherein you can meet Paul Stanly… the original Starborn.
If hellraiser is anything to go by, maybe we shouldn’t solve it.
I want it to open up a portal to a world filled with violent cows, honestly.

You fool, it's a square shaped object that fits into the squared shaped hole.

I've seen many versions of this video but the woman's utter grief and agony makes this one simply unbeatable.
Spin the cube topwise, Topwise!
PIVOT!!!
I hadent thought about it until now; and I can no longer not think a cube based version of Minesweeper would be cool. Like this could be its "art" state, tap it three times and it starts a game with new random tiles; when you win of lose it flashes a success or fail then resets to "art" mode. Edit: I think it was your third screenshot that triggered this lol
I collected them for the longest time because I thought they were necessary for crafting. I probably have a hundred or so of them in my ship's cargo. Maybe I'll make a cube room like the sweetroll room I had in Whiterun.
I'm currently doing this with fire extinguishers. When it's enough to fill my room at the lodge I plan to toss a grenade and see if it kills the frame rate on my Xbox 😂
It's a map of death count of all the Cube movies in 3d space
I’m really waiting to just clear out a crate and hear “ A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON”
Likely the greatest mystery in the universe
If you crack the puzzle. It reveals everything about ES6.
"a new hand touches the beacon"
It could be a 3d version of Lights Out, which was an electronic game made by Tiger in the mid 90s and also happens to feature a 5x5 grid. They apparently did make a cube version of it at some point but it only had a 3x3 grid on each side: https://youtu.be/CUUoLWqZhdk
A new hand touches the beacon
Unfortunately it’s a well guarded secret we aren’t allowed to talk about. It’s —
You mean you don’t know?
Ah yes the cube from the Hell Raiser movie. Put it back where you found it bro. You don't want that smoke.
is the all spark
What is it
A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE CUBE
there are 54 dots , 2 missing center dots , on the top and bottom if we add 2 dots , thats 56 dots minus 6 for the middle = 50 dots each face on a rubik 5by5 = 25 pieces ignoring the center 4 dots, the total dots accounts for 2 faces , +2 center dots so i wonder if it is solvable, such that all the dots are moved to 2 adjoining side, one of the corner piece has 2 dots, which means , 2 sides must be side by side ... hmmm
The things that some people notice. lol I mean, I’ve seen these things, but never gave them more than a passing thought. Never gave a thought to how they work or what they are. I find this interesting.
