NEW WORLD RECORD: The 49x49x49 Rubiks Cube @PrestonsPuzzles

Prestons Puzzles This video marks the conclusion of many years of work and dedication to a truly crazy passion project. I was inspired to try designing the 49x49x49 after hearing a quote from a mathematician saying that whenever they come across a new problem they always give it a shot, regardless of how many others have tried it before them. I wish the best of luck to anyone attempting to break this record. If you're giving it a try, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’d love to meet you, share my expertise, or just chat if you’d like.

Building The 49x49x49 - Spliced Video Logs

Prestons Puzzles 2024-11-16 | EDIT: At 16:12 it is supposed to say "One Month Later" not 3 days later (sorry).
This is a follow-up to my original announcement of the world record 49x49x49 twisty puzzle:

This video is a compilation of video logs documenting the process of creating the record 49x49x49 twisty puzzle.

Given this video’s length and the niche subject matter, I expect only a small percentage of viewers will watch all the way through. If you’re one of them, I’d love to hear from you. Please leave any questions or comments below, and I’ll do my best to answer them.
