It is a 3x3x3, believe it or not (the triangle in the center is a corner, I believe). I saw an in-progress version when visiting Aleh a few weeks back. It had no sitckers and sharp edges, but was very, very impressive. Now even better cleaned up with stickers  First the Gigaminx, now this. Truly a great partnership. One wonders what we will see from this pair next... Dave

Just a 3x3 rotated 60 degrees about its long axis? I love these kind of surprises, especially when something so original is done with something so well known. Great idea, beautifully executed, as esxpected. I think the unique piece count is the same as for my radiation cube, except mine has three kinds of edge piece. There are quite a few constructional similarities I should imagine. I like this one better...  ....  ....  Oddly, this is pretty much exactly what I did to a skewb with my skewskewb, but done to a 3x3x3. I didn't think of doing it to a 3x3. Drat. Nice one.

Awesome work, the both of you. Well usually I'm also quite good to see the mechanism behind a puzzle, but this one ...  I can only agree: amazing design - and please more pictures!!! Congrats - Frank

I came up with the idea while I was idly playing with a cube mockup I built in SolidWorks. I added several axes of rotation to rotate the cube in various ways to see what happened. When I saw this one, I really wanted to see it built. I sent the basic pictures to Aleh, and he did all the building. I will post some more pictures soon, but until then, here is a video. Enjoy! Adam

It has very nice symmetry and looks perfect.
