"The Solution" and a borrowed cube

Hi all,

title is self-explanatory I guess. If needed, I already know how to solve the cube, but does "the solution" can be done with a borrowed cube without any setup (I mean, setup that can't be done secretly) ?

Thanks !

I agree w/@cho7.
In a specific situation, when all the stars and planets align in the heavens, you might be able to pull this off with a borrowed cube.
Generally, it's not likely...
@4444...knowing cubes would be an advantage, but you could learn this technique. It'll take practice.
And, yes, you're going to have to order a cube. PM doesn't have one. I'd suggest going directly to Rubik's site and getting a speed cube....bypassing the regular cube.

I've finally bought the Solution. I'm disappointed because in order to be done correctly (quickly & silently), we clearly need a speed cube. A "regular" rubik's cube is far too difficult to handle using one hand and one finger.

So for me the answer is no, unless the borrowed cube is a speed cube, which isn't the case most of the time (I personnaly have many cubes, 3x3, 4x4, a megaminx, etc) but none of them is a speed cube.

@girspiggy While it is possible, that would take several thousand hours of practice to get fast enough to be able to set this up in real time in front of a spectator

I don't know the first thing about cubes.
Is that going to be a problem?????

Also, it does not include a cube????Evidently I would need to order that from Penguin.
thanks for your help

You can do the setup on the spot from a shuffled cube if you're already familiar with how to solve a cube.
