Rarity's side up because Rarity is best pony.
Quinnjaminn built this awesome pony Rubik's cube made out of the main cast's cutie marks! It looks awesome, as does the charts that it's sitting on. I only wish that I had the mental capacity to actually solve one of these. As it is, I can barely feed myself. I set a tuna sandwich on fire once. True story. I'll tell it later if you want.
You can check out the cube here, on his DA page.

Why u waste food?
The sad thing is that I can't seem to figure one of these out!
I want to hear the story @_@
My money! I have no need for it!
Yeah please tell. Also Id want that, but I dont blend well with rubik's cubes.
remember, he's the founder of equestrian innovations. he probably had his engineers invent him some combustible tuna.
and the cube is amazing. want.
I think everypony wants to hear that story.
Indeed, Cereal, do tell. I need to be regaled with tales of culinary ineptitude to ameliorate my shame at my own dietary incompetence.
It will be my new...
COMPANION CUBE :D
At least your cereal doesn't catch fire...
Right?
On topic, I used to be able to solve RCs...
Story PLEASE!
I can barely do Rubix Pyramids, I doubt I can do a Cube which requires specific positioning of all 9 pieces on One Side...
Dat cube, I want it so bad !
I...want this so badly.
I don't want your damn tuna, what am I supposed to do with it?
Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cereal James Velocity tuna! Do you know who I am? I'm the pony who's gonna burn your house down... with the tuna!
I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible tuna sandwich that'll BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!
I think Cereal is my favorite EqD author.
Cereal! Tell us the story!
Oh, wow. Anon, you are amazing.
Anywho, awesome! I want one now.
...Not that I would ever use it.
Rubix cubes and me don't work well.
I always end up (Trying to, anyway.) cheat on them.
Usualy end up breakin' them cause of it.
do want. regular cube isn't that hard but these where you have to put every color at specific spots can be tricky.
Thanks for the great feedback everyone! I have to leave soon, but I'll post the patterns up later today on my DeviantArt page. If you want to make your own, it only takes a few hours, and total costs were around 14 dollars (for enough materials to sticker 10 cubes).
I'm contemplating recording a solve of it -- would any of you be interested in that?
You have piqued my interest. Tell me more about said sammich.
Tell me the story. I am especially interested because I had a tuna sammich for luch
@ everypony who says it's harder if each face has to go in a specific place: regular cubes work like that too, it just doesn't look like it.
Rubik cube's are 20% cooler now
@nemryn
yeah, but it requires more moves since you have to rotate center pieces to right direction.
I'd keep it in a display stand. I am not mentally capable or solving one of these. :(
>Rarity is best pony.
No! Bad Cereal!
@Colonel Sanders(no one must see my typo)
Tell us the burnt tuna story. I'm imagining it like the Ugly Baracle.
Wish I could solve this - it's pretty tricky with hooves
I want to hear the story. :I
awesome cube. i want one.
Haha, that is awesome.
Epic.
Don't tease us with the story if you won't post it.
I declare it to be made a separate news post to regale all of us this magnificent tale of flames and food.
@Quinnjaminn
Well done! I'd like to see a solve of it, since I am totally unable to do those things myself...
And I think the general concensus is that we'd like the flaming tuna story, Cereal.
Flaming Tuna Story. That'd be a good band name.
AMAZING.
That is all.
Ok everypony, I just uploaded the template to DeviantArt. Feel free to send me pictures if you make your own!

I'll probably order some more cubes in the near future and make some with background/side character ponies. Enjoy!
I've done a Rubik's Cube with specific pictures on the sides before. It becomes next to impossible to line up the middle pieces correctly with each picture. When you solve a normal Rubik's Cube, it doesn't matter which way each piece faces, as long as they're all on the same side.
I can solve a regular Rubik's Cube in 47 seconds.
One with pictures takes me about 3 days.
Rubik's Cubes, how do they work?
This cube only have one solution because of the cutie marks.
I heard there's a pattern of turns if repeated enough times will eventually solve a rubic's cube.
I've always just broke the cube apart and put it back together to solve it! =)
@ a href #c4856798738919215365 >BlitzWing00 /a> Er, doesn't quite work like that. You can keep repeating a set of instructions to move one part to the place you want it, but then you have to switch to another set of instructions for the next part. I heards them being called algorithms, so you could probably search some up with that.

nice seth
I was looking for companion cube decals. *sigh* I'm perpetually followed by this fandom.
Just got the bright idea to make one of these, ordered a blank cube and stickers from Rubik's website, then did a search and found I was beaten to it...
So I'm super late to the party, oh well! Maybe I'll get some more and make background pony cubes too.
As for whether it requires more work to solve cubes with pictures instead of solid colors... yes, but only a little. It's because of the centers.
http://www.alchemistmatt.com/cube/rubikcenter.html has two simple algorithms that can deal with all possible center rotations
...or you could be careful while doing F2L and only have to use 2(U R L 2U R' L') to rotate the last face 180 degrees if needed.
(It is impossible for the center rotations to sum to 90 or 270 degrees on a 3x3x3 because of the mechanics of the puzzle. Could happen on a 4x4x4 though. That'd be a parity case.)
Rarity is the most AWESOME pony ever!!!
