107 Soaring
readx;? Although the charm of the Rubik's Cube has formed a storm and is gradually sweeping the entire United States, it was not until the second issue of "Fantastic Four" was released that the first video of restoring the Rubik's Cube appeared on the Internet. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, there are only three days until the day of the draw.
The Rubik's Cube is a gadget with a variation of 4.3 times 10 to the 19th power, but due to its basic structure and physical rules, its solution is unique.
On Earth, the fastest speed of restoring the third-order Rubik's Cube officially recognized by the World Rubik's Cube Association is 5.6 seconds, and the longest time was created by a man named Graham Parker, who has had his first Rubik's Cube since 1983, and has been independently restoring the Rubik's Cube without relying on any formula, until 2009, he finally succeeded, a process that lasted for 26 years.
Professor El Roubick, the inventor of the Rubik's Cube on Earth, spent three weeks figding the Rubik's Cube with his brain.
Then, while a video of the restored Rubik's Cube has appeared, it's a bit subtle.
To be precise, it's not that there's anything wrong with the video, after verification, this half-hour-long boring video has no traces of editing and post-production.
But at the end of the video, the person who restored the Rubik's Cube appears behind the camera.
"Hi guys, I'm Russell......" A young white guy greeted the camera, "I think everyone just saw it, I restored the Rubik's Cube...... However, I would like to tell you that I am not eligible for this AC Comics raffle, although I would also like to get a soldier doll of the Flash......"
Russell smiled calmly: "Well, what I want to say is that I was able to restore the Rubik's Cube, not relying entirely on my own brain, I was a little lazy, I designed a mathematical model, and then most of the rest of the work was left to the computer in our lab...... If I participate in this draw, I think it would be unfair to everyone else, so I'm opting out voluntarily here!"
After this video was posted, the number of hits reached seven figures in just half a day, and some netizens wanted to learn a little about how to restore the Rubik's Cube in the video, while the other part was amazed at how the Rubik's Cube was so difficult, and it actually reached the point where it could only be restored by a computer.
Many netizens tweeted about Atfrank Miller and AC Comics, either questioning why the event was difficult, or complaining about "is the Rubik's Cube really a toy" or something like that.
Although only one video of the restoration of the Rubik's Cube appeared at this time, and some doubts began to appear on the Internet, Meng Qi was not worried, because he always believed that the human brain has no limits.
In fact, there is no shortage of people on the earth who have come into contact with the Rubik's Cube for the first time, and it only took a few days to complete the restoration, and there are even legends that the author of the book "Rubik's Cube Solution" took only four and a half hours to solve it for the first time, and also summed up a set of formulas.
Wu Tian, who was playing with toys, spent a week also restoring the Rubik's Cube.
Therefore, it is not that the Rubik's Cube is too difficult, but that it really takes a little talent to play the Rubik's Cube without a perfect experience summary......
As Meng Qi expected, not long after the video of "Computer Player" Russell was uploaded, the second video was posted.
And that man was Jimmy's father, Barlow Simmons.
His video was also more than 30 minutes long, but Barlow Simmons did not show his face in the video, but tweeted a short text.
"Whew...... Ten days, more than 70 hours spent on the Rubik's Cube (including thinking and calculating), what a long battle! It was so difficult to be a father, but fortunately I didn't let my children down!"
The last sentence of the tweet made everyone smile, and they all guessed that this was to win prizes for their own children.
However, someone soon pointed out Barlow Simmons' identity as a double bachelor in mathematics and architecture, which instantly attracted a large number of netizens to complain.
"What's going on? Rubik's Cube can only be played with high education and high technology?"
"Alarm! Alarm! A large number of mathematician fathers of bear children are about to arrive on the battlefield!"
"I want a dad who studies math too!"
"The Rubik's Cube is too hard for children, and I doubt Frank Miller's motives......"
In the midst of the complaints, some people also took the opportunity to attack Frank Miller, but before Meng Qi could reply, Russell and Barlow Simmons separated this guy.
Russell: "The Rubik's Cube is not about age, but about mathematical thinking and spatial imagination...... I have reason to believe that the Rubik's Cube is one of the greatest educational toys of the last hundred years!"
Barlow Simmons was even more straightforward, directly posting a video of little Jimmy playing the Rubik's Cube, although little Jimmy can't completely restore the entire Rubik's Cube yet, but he can also complete two layers.
"My kid took longer than me and only completed two floors, but I'm sure if he is given a little more time, he will do it!"
Of course, this kind of happy slap in the face obviously will not end so simply.
The next day, in the videos of the Rubik's Cube restoration that were uploaded one after another, there was finally a video of a child restoring the Rubik's Cube.
"Hey baby, are you ready?"
In the video, a little girl shyly sits on a somewhat shabby sofa, and a woman's gentle voice comes from outside the video.
"Ready, Mom. ”
"Then let's get started. ”
The little girl's hands began to turn, and although her movements were jerky and she would pause to think from time to time, she was noticeably faster than Russell and Barlow Simmons, as well as some of the contestants before her.
Seventeen minutes later, the little girl smiled and raised the fully restored Rubik's Cube in her hand.
The fastest recovery speed since the birth of the Rubik's Cube is born!
A little girl who doesn't look to be more than ten years old beats a bachelor in computer science and mathematics!
Heated discussions immediately erupted on the Internet, of course, Meng Qi would not give up such a good hot spot, and used Twitter to congratulate him at the first time, and said that this little girl can get a set of Superman and Flash's soldier dolls without participating in the lottery.
The video of this little girl has made many people enthusiastic again, and although the lottery is only two days away, they still continue to study and try to recover the Rubik's Cube.
Moreover, because a group of people have successfully restored the Rubik's Cube, some clever guys have begun to study the methods of these successful people, and then apply them to practice.
By the end of the event, more than 500 people had uploaded videos of the restored Rubik's Cube, which was already a large number, but there were only ten people who got the dolls, except for the little girl, and the rest of them would definitely be disappointed.
Therefore, after the lottery ended, many unsuccessful people have begun to ask AC Comics, Superman and Flash soldier dolls will be on sale, and if so, when will they be......
This question is obviously more concerning than the lottery itself, after all, most of the people who come to this event are fans of superheroes.
The official Twitter of AC Comics was quick to reply.
"The Soldier series of dolls is a new generation of toys designed by Frank Miller, and based on the previous market research and feedback, we have decided to mass produce the Soldier series dolls in the near future. However, due to the long production process and complex process of soldier dolls, this series of toys only accepts reservations, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused to everyone!"
After the tweet, there is also a URL, and when you click on it, you will be redirected to the pre-sale page of the official website of AC Comics.
And netizens who entered this page were immediately pleasantly surprised to find that the soldiers dolls that began to be pre-sold were not only Superman and Flash, but also other characters of the Justice League!
However, it's a little regrettable that except for Superman, The Flash, and Wonder Woman, who can get the physical objects three months after the scheduled end, the rest will take half a year!
Although it is a little longer, it is also a thing that cannot be helped.
Superman and The Flash are already considered finished, and Wonder Woman was almost finished before Tang Mingjia came to the United States, so after accepting the order, it will be a matter of production.
And the remaining four superheroes, who have not even made a model of the head sculpture now, will naturally take a little longer.
As for the price, these superhero soldiers are priced a little bit more expensive, with Superman and Batman both costing $159 and others costing $139.
Moreover, because this kind of fine and high-quality toys are generally controlled by production capacity, this time, Meng Qi only accepts 10,000 reservations for each soldier.
However, this does not stop the enthusiasm of the fans.
In just one week, all the 10,000 pre-booked places for all superheroes have been snapped up!
