This episode I attempt to create art by arranging almost 3000 Rubik's cubes into a mosaic picture. Of course I had to choose Arnold Schwarzenegger from the original Terminator for my image.
Giovanni Contardi, the guy who inspired me to try this: / jvenb

how long did it take you to guess what the image was? đ
You need to learn wood turning
58 seconds
.
idk
hey Mike, I have a video idea: build a guitar - from scratch. I know you did one already but with a lot of it already built.
would be a great project to improve your woodworking skills. it's certainly a lot of fun for me who's currently building a Telecaster (theyre the simplest to build)
I'm surprised it only took 22 hours to solve the cubes. This project is insane! Well done good sir!
sup blue
on average it took him 27 seconds to solve each cube. It was definitely faster than that by the end.
M
Don't forget that there's quite a large section with a single colour. That doesn't take any time to solve so it can really skew the average here
Youcuber confirmed
Really cool that you didnt immediately spoil what the image was gonna be, such a cool picture
Yeah that was great. I wasnât expecting the final reveal at all
Midway i already figured out what he picture was, but i know i gotta stay for my boy mike and arnie :D
im pretty sure when he showed the website he showed what the picture would turn out to be but it was amazing either way. amazing work.
@@shadowfoxygaming6822 it was a diferent picture
It would be cool if you put a glass frame over it and put it up completely flat against the wall. So the cubes wouldnât fall out while being in an upright position
Or even plexiglass
I am also thinking about the dust, must be easier to keep clean with glass or plexiglass.
could pour epoxy over it, will add a lot of weight but is easier than trying to find panes of glass/plexi to fit the frame.
@@BenblenderI doubt that. Companies mass manufacture these materials, they're definitely available at scale. Liquid proofing the entire frame and filling it with resin, that would be incredibly difficult.
@@snerttt Not to mention the difficulty of trying to ensure a smooth finish without air bubbles
That was one of the best adds Iâve seen. Showing how genuinely nice they are and then hearing what products they sell
yea there amazing i have gotten like 5 discounts for just barley doing anything and they are the best aus cube store
Same i agree
I appreciate your honesty about the power of being an influencer.
The website has a warning that they're experiencing a high volume of orders. It's almost like an influencer made them sound like great people.
@@scragar if you click on details
It says its the update for 07/08/2022
Not Today
@@scragar yeah i heard that a crazy guy ordered 3000 cubes from that site they must have a hard time
Itâs not as much of power as it is a win-win for him and the company ;
Itâs a good lesson to show we can all find such creative solutions to our problems even if weâre not influencers
Why are you implying that theyâre not?
12:20 bro spent 25 years of his life on this. Props
Lmfao I was surprised barely anyone noticed this
Yea I was also searching if anyone already wrote a comment or not lol
LMAO
Shit so Iâm barely over 9000 days old? Yeah I knew he was joking but I didnât even attempt to think about how many years thatâd be, itâs more than Iâd have thought
Didnt notice it lol
Imagine if you made it so the other side of the cubes have another image, then use the cubes as a divider in a room so both sides can be seen
that would be amazing
it would not stay in place but it would be super cool
@@goutgueule9197 For thousands of years, we humans have used this material caaalled...
[drumroll]
*Glue.*
Plus you could make an additional frame for them out of the profiles used for drywalls..
Unfortunately, even if anyone -was insane enough- had the persistence to actually do that, it would likely be literally impossible. What if, for example, a cube needed to be completely blue on both sides? There's only 9 of each colour on each cube, and there's a whole bunch of other problems as well, such as centers being locked in place. I suppose, if you picked the two images specifically so that nothing like this happens, i.e, two very different colour schemes, it could work, or you could just make compromises where getting it perfect is impossible, but I imagine it would be challenging to get both faces to even resemble their source images enough to be recognisable.
@@felixroux to avoid these problems, they could use picutres that have each 3 different colors, and they would swap the centercaps
it was really nice of the company to sponsor this art!
It's a win win.
Your persistence and creativity know no bounds Mike! This is amazing. And how amazing is Daily Puzzles!!
Daily Puzzles is kind of GOATed.
hey tingman I see you everywhere
DailyPuzzles ftw!
Tingboy to the rescue!
Def agree! Also hey Ming!
Its super interesting how parts of the image look gray from a distance despite there being no actual gray on the cubes
I was thinking this exactly as I was making it!
that's how pixels work, all your phone screen is just red green and blue, but it is so small that your brain just averages the colors out to a single color
@@lunathecat4318 exactly, it's super cool seeing that translated onto rubiks cubes đ
@@lunathecat4318 not only pixels, but images or gifs with a low amount of color, and pixel art as well often use dithered color patterns to simulate the effect of other colors or shadows. Traditional artists also achieve something similar with crosshatching. From a distance, the details just mix.
It is called dithering ;)
not gonna lie, im most impressed about how you built the frame with little experience and then managed to lift it up despite there only being two of you.
Impressive that someone was willing to give you 3000 cubes! Really a lot of cubes. Love that you remembered youâre an influencer haha.
The power of sourcing parts in China. I see these cubes at USD 0.4 a piece. That's 940 pounds plus shipping. By sea, it would be pretty cheap when inside a container.
As a cuber, this video is so good. Usually, cubing videos made by people who know less about the hobby get things very wrong and mislead people, but not you! Also, DailyPuzzles is a great store, good to see you giving them exposure!
I completely agree
I get he isnât as hardcore as some cubers, but Iâd say heâs pretty well versed in the hobby. Glad he could do cubers justice
100%. Itâs frustrating when people say âIâm gonna scramble it real goodâ like no, if you do more than 16-20 moves then the scramble becomes easier.
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 No? Doing more random moves *is* better, it's just very diminishing returns past 25 or 30 moves. It definitely doesn't become easier though
@@myweirdsecondchannelwithap9070 like when they sayâI bet you canât solve it when I scramble itâđ
I would have loved to see him use the small cubes but to fill the wall making it a higher resolution
Or, if sizes are good enough, : to combine both size
Oh my godddd that would be hell, for me even solving 3 small cubes makes my hand cramp
I'm not good at maths, but wouldn't that take weeks to complete?
Just amazing. Beautifully done. I was 100% surprised at the end result image, but this iconic image is perfect for a loft space with bed . . . âIâll be backâ - brilliant!
this is insane!! respect!!
Hello
hello
got ignored moment
Why do u have 2m subs but have 56 likes-
Great job! You're the rare kind of person with enough perseverance to go through with such a project. If I had seen just the result and a description, I could only have guessed that it was from this channel.
Love how it turned out! Kudos to you!
I personally would have loved if all six colors were represented, not just blue, red, white, and orange. But it looks fantastic!!
Your feeling working on that image one cube at a time is exactly how I feel about cross stitching. We're both basically working pixel by pixel of an image. And it's so satisfying seeing that image gradually emerge. When I get near the end of one of my stitching projects, I also get energized and power through trying to finish it as fast as I can.
Mike needs to learn wood turning! You'd love it, I'm sure the viewers would too
@Dave Mustaine đ „ no
sounds dangerous
Yes we would
I actually bought a tiny lathe last year and have done nothing with it! It's in the pipeline. Thanks for watching :)
@@DeeneMuada not too dangerous, I do wood turning and as long as you follow some simple safety guidelines and start simple, you'll do fine. It's super rewarding when you can create awesome bowls, pens, handles, vases, you name it. It's very fun too once you get the hang of it, and it would be awesome to see Mike learn it
words cannot describe how happy the final image made me. 10/10 content.đ
Amazing vid, I cant imagine the amount of effort, planning, and ressource gathering that went into this!
Amazing work! The finished product looks fantastic! Great picture selection! đ
This is Mike saying "I'm back." in the most Mike way possible.
I just finished watching. What an insane project!! Another great achievement, Mike.
Canât believe itâs been 5 years since I found your channel. Youâre a great inspiration and Iâve shared your channel with so many people. You videos are as good as theyâve always been. Great job.
I just want to appreciate this guy from the depths of my heart đ The Hard Work he did to provide his viewers Quality and pure Content is absolutely great..Thumbs Up đđ»
This is the coolest video iÂŽve watched for a long time. insane project, congrats!
As a Speedcuber, I appreciate this video so so much. So good to see big CZcamsrs like you go on and take the challenge of attempting to make a huge Rubik's Cube Mosaic! Congratulations on pushing on and to the final product, It was so satisfying seeing your project slowly come together after 37 hours. Good Job Mike!
Hi fellow cuber
39
this is so cool! 39 hours isnt bad for a piece of art. ive spent similar times, and more, on paintings. nothing this size though! as soon as i saw the glasses at 14:13 i knew what it was.
39 hours and several grand.
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD

Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that itâs an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948
Really good job of not spoiling it, I couldnât tell what it was until it finished and it was perfect
Great work always impressed with your creativity and determination top work! Also it was great pumping into you at RB cliff diving in Mayo, Ireland. Keep her lit mate
Mike Iâve been a subscriber since you figured out how to draw a dotted line and I just wanted to say Iâm so happy for all of your success. You deserved all of it and more. Keep up the amazing work!
Firstly, kudos to Daily Puzzles for sponsoring this video đ and then to you as well Mike! đ When I saw the thumbnail, I couldn't resist wondering whether you'd do cube-art, and you didn't disappoint! Such an awesome project, and I love the fact that you didn't spoil the image during the whole process, it was worth the wait and suspense đ kudos once again, and best of luck for your next skill / project / crazy idea. Can't wait to see what else you'll have in store for us đ
That image was so cool. It was weird because there was the odd yellow square that looked out of place but when it zoomed out it fitted the image. Love the videos
Damn thatâs impressive! The dedication!
Nice job, love the image.

Whilst watching, I was thinking how much I enjoy your story telling skills, production, et c whatever you want to call it...whilst trying to guess which image you would choose, as you teased us till the big end reveal (@14:55).
And when I got to it, the backing track changes to an 80s synthy thing, and I knew that it would be deliberate. And lo and behold, it was Arnie. Love it. Love the Terminator. Love this project. Love your videos. Keep doing what you do.
Donât know what Terminator is. Had to search through the comments to see who it was. Great video though.
This turned out so good!
RIP Dail Puzzles. This video is legendary and will go down in the DailyPuzzles history book.
I was wondering the whole video what it was going to be and I was not disappointed! Awesome video and you went to crazy lengths to make this happen, big up DailyPuzzle too
This is absolutely amazing the process is so long but Mike actually did it
A few years back we made a 2-sided Rubik's cube mosaic from 2000 cubes. There we needed 6 different type of cubes: all had the same colors, but the difference was which color is opposite of which. But at the end both sides gave a beautiful picture (we used glass frame)
Photos!
@@ikeyshuster9801 There is a video of it on his channel.
It is a 6 year old video titled "Building 2 sided mosaic from 2000 Rubik's cubes"
10:24 "so i did some building off camera"
This is absolutely insane! As a cuber, this was really fun to watch!! And I've got to give it to Dailypuzzles, what an amazing crossover đ
If you see this I was wondering a few things: Do you plan to flush the frame up against the wall? I imagine it's even more insanely heavy now so maybe not, but if so how do you plan to keep the cubes from falling out?
Could use some epoxy or some other type of resin to keep it in place. Or a screen/protector
they most likely wouldnt fall unless it get it or something
Yeah
Legendary!!
Thx for doing this đ€đ€â€ïž
honestly the fact that, all told, this came out to a work week's work is less than i thought it'd take! looks great
This was incredibly satisfying to watch. One thing I've learned from you and Alex Steele is sometimes you just have to get on with it. I wonder if Arnie will see this?
Iâm amazed how it only took you 39 hours to make this. The video was super entertaining. You earned a sub!

Love the video and I think it took about 3 days but also did anyone realize that he said day 9000 in around 12:30 ish
Wow! Just discovered this channel and LOVE the content!!!! Kepp up the good work!!!!
This was honestly the most amazing cubing artwork I've ever seen! Hopefully I will do this one day. Also, I never would have guessed it was the Terminator! Lol
This is absolutely wonderful, excellent story telling as usual, promoting the shop, and all that good stuff.
My only concern is the wall itself. Can the wall behind support the weight, is the frame secured so nothing could cause it to slide forward (despite it being heavy) and any thoughts to plexi or / something in front to hold it all in in case stuff shifts?
3:49 Mike showing a 9x9, âyou reckon you could solve that?â
Me and the boys: *laughs in speedcuber*
Awesome work!!
I love how he was able to show the wall throughout the video without us being able to see what the mosaic was until the end.
I dare you to try doing an endo 360 on a bike, one of the most fun skills on a mountain bike:)
Love this project. Would love to do something similar myself but doesn't seem realistic cost wise.
Wow this is so cool! You can rearrange and solve the cubes again to make a different painting whenever you want!
Now I'm waiting for the version where you make one that has the same physical dimensions but out of those tiny Mosaic Cubes.
As a cuber who goes to competitions.... Massive respect Mike!!
My favorite part about this was learning about mosaic cubes. That's so cool!
such a great video i love the end result. what you said in the video that it was meditating is kinda how it feels like to do a tanabata decoration. it's 1000 papir cranes, i'm doing 100 each day and i'm on 700 cranes now, i'm watching many of your videoes while doing it like you were listning to music
Every cuberâs dream unboxing
LOL
Hats off to you, this is such a massive undertaking I can't even imagine how much effort it took.
The whole video is him explaining how much effort it took
I can, 39 hours to be exact. Did you watch the video?
@@justchilling4816 Numbers and words often aren't enough.

great work daily puzzles for hooking this up
Very cool video even as a cuber I always wondered how this was done great job
Fellow cuber helloo
@@YouCuberr Hey
But... 2917 is prime!
How many cubes did you use in the end?
damn, I just checked. It's actually 2915 :( Thanks for letting me know (53 X 55)
Excellent!!!! This is one of the Best Videos that I have ever seen........... very creative indeed. Right oN!!!!!
All I can say is WOW! I love how you kept the whole image in suspense till the end. Can you do Star Trek now?
No wonder my Gan cube from DailyPuzzles is taking so long to arrive! haha
"Why?" Is the most simplest question to ask right now. Honestly this was the last thing I thought Mike would do, and Daily Puzzles sending 3000 cubes? I'm surprised they have that many.
Ya, I love Mike and his cool challenges and storytelling. But here all I could think was that thing us one bump from crashing over breaking forever and turning into thousands of pounds of landfill. :(
@Whatsap±1937đ©đŁđ«đ€đšđ§đ© Mike Boyd lmao we are not dumb
This was awesome! Now I want to see mosaic picture made of minicubes for better quality
That last cube will never be forgotten for this all hard work
Awesome project sir! I love it!
What an excellent project, I'm gonna get me some of those mini magnetic cubes for sure. Thanks for doing this Mike
absolutely insane, what a legend and inspiration
I just imagine the hard work and enormous amount of time u put in ...
Loved it
I wonder how it would look like if it was made out of smaller cubes, would it look like a higher resolution image.
Yes, it would be a much higher resolution with the smaller cubes, so more details
Ok but why was the shipping address at 3:48 at the U.S. Space and Rocket center in Huntsville, Alabama? That's a nice easter egg.
That's awesome! I didn't know what the image was until it was revealed.
Daily Puzzles is amazing for sending you all those. I hope they stay in business for a long time!
The only thing I am suprised about is the fact it didnât fall down
HUGE respect to dailypuzzles for sponsoring this video. Loved this video and it was made possible by this company. Great content Mike.
That looks awesome, I could get behind that type of art. I would like to try that out.
it looks so beautiful, i love it.
I felt tired just seeing, congratulations on the dedication â
one question how will they actualy stay there and no fall out ? after all they are just balencing one on top of each other, are you going to cover them in epoxy to stop that ?
This is so cool and creative. What a great idea!
Awesome project! Looks great!
13:20 wouldn't it be efficient to make a bunch of common ones at the same time and keep them in seperate boxes to grab them when they're needed?
Yes. But the agony of making 30 or so more than required and having to redo them would be too much to bear!
An idea, for the website which gives you the pictures/blocks, would be nice to tell you which cubes repeat and how many times
@@MikeBoyd true, but I would have "just" wrote the pixel art generator myself and I would let it generate the top 10 or so most common configs and the amount you need of them.
@@mascaflorin exactly! I think the rubix-cube-pixelart community is not yet fully matured đ
@@MikeBoyd I don't even know if there's already a website of some sort that does this most efficiently, but I've been thinking about this and I'll be making the most efficient rubix pixel art generator I can get it. That includes a top x amount of cubes that share the same face and for every cube I'll give the optimal somution. I mean, every face has "only" 10 million possible configs so I can just make a big database with all optimal solutions and use that to instruct the user. An app like this involves a lot of things I have been wanting to do for some time now. Thanks Mike!
DailyPuzzles are legends, they didn't even ask questions. They just said "sure! what size do you want". I wish every youtuber had sponsors like that
Epic project!
hats off to u that u pulled it out and its looking soooooo dope â„
They can improve their website by supplying a document with all singular cube patterns X number of appearances of the cube pattern in the image. That way you could have finished earlier. For example, pattern X 20 cubes.

The idea you describe seems reasonable at first, but if think about actually doing it this way, the process of assembly just gets obscured. Imagine having 150 piles of cubes, one pile per pattern, and then searching through these piles for a pattern you need each time you put one cube. Plus, making the same pattern X times in a row is not that much faster than making X different patterns on the fly.
What would really speed up the mosaic assembly 20 times (or more!) is if there were an algorithm spelled out for each cube. Then you just have to take cubes from the box one by one, apply the 5-15 move algorithm without even looking at the cube and placing the cube into the frame.
But when I started developing this feature, I quickly realized that most artists will only benefit from it once. Then you have a bunch of scrambled cubes that will be used for your next mosaic. I definitely didn't expect someone to buy 3000 brand new cubes and make an art using my software đ
@@strakhov I am very excited to get a response from you.
First of all props for your website I think it is awesome.
I am no expert in rubiks cube, I actually have never solved one.
I am more on the programming side of things so I just couldn't help but offer it
after reading your response,I agree with you, furthermore think that it's an over the top feature.
All in all just want to thank you for this beautiful website.
I just wanna give a huge shoutout to Roman Strakhov; the guy who runs bestsiteever
he was kinda a legend in the blind solving community a few years ago, and I donât think Mark couldâve completed this project without Romanâs hard work.
I mean... of course he could have. The conversion to mosaic is trivially easy with Photoshop or GIMP and cutting it up into "digestible" pieces is a purely mechanical process. It may have added a few hours for preparation and organization but you are mistaking convenience for necessity. It's like saying a chef couldn't have cooked his meal without the hard work of the Nicer Dicer engineers.
It's so satisfying to finally see what the image was at the end, this video was very well scripted, amazing work!
What's so great about this mural is that you can change the picture whenever you feel like...
Granted you have a few days worth of time in your hands that is
