Yesterday I bought a bunch of new twisty puzzles on Amazon. Some of them might arrive on Monday or Tuesday, but the rest will probably take a whole month to get here. I can already solve any n*n*n cube given enough time, and anything larger than 7x7x7 costs more than $40, so I decided to get a bunch of really strange ones. Here they are: The reason I am fascinated with non-cubic puzzles is that if you can solve a 5x5x5, then you could solve a 10x10x10 or a 17x17x17 if someone gave you one on a long weekend, because the basic mechanics of the puzzles are the same. With cuboids and non-cubic polyhedrons, there are certain turns that would be perfectly normal on a cube which aren't possible because of the very shape of the puzzle, and vice versa, as well as some turns having very different actions on non-cubic puzzles than they would on cubes. Then, of course, I get to confuse the heck out of my friends as they realize what I'm holding isn't actually a cube like they're used to. Anyone else here into exotic twisty puzzles?
