“I wonder if the guy Will Smith played in The Pursuit of Happyness can create a formula to solve it?”

I am not a pro in mathematic. But I think if someone really would do a formula for the usual cube (which someone sure did) using it on a biger cube with more colours and more buttons/objects would be no problem for them ~him I guess. The reason behind mathematical formulas is exactly to solve such problems where you have so big numbers and so many different variables that you cant solve it succesfully with trial & error anymore

Looks like it needs some detents to ensure the segments line up easily and reliably.

Really nice. The thing that gets me is that the Rubik Cube was beautiful because of it’s difficulty compared to it’s simple design. Although these cube variations are beautiful, they look (and are!) really difficult – the Rubik cube looked easy.

If it only took 65 hours to create this toy, Jason Smith is a prototyping genius. I bow before skills I can only begin to imagine.

If I had it I wouldn’t so much try to solve it, I’d just scramble it and put it on a shelf. It’s beautiful!

I can’t imagine why anyone would want one of those… other than to screw it up forever.

“20 hours on masters and molds.
12 hours casting parts.
30 hours cleaning up parts and sanding (!!)
7 hours assembling all 1000 parts
6 hours stickering.”

And two years of your life to solve it.
