Seeking images: X-Cube

Andreas Nortmann · **Posted:** Wed May 18, 2011 12:36 pm

Hi,

Does anybody has good images for Jürgen Brandt's X-Cube?
640x480 is sufficient.
I am asking especially for this one since this is the last entry for Jürgen Brandt on my list.

Thanks in advance.

BTW: More contributions are welcome.
You know I had to say that. :roll:

what's wrong with the picture already in the database? I don't think there exist more pictures than that.

Now I am puzzled.
What image do you mean?
1. The one in the article?
2. Or is there already an entry I have missed?
If it is the first option the image there is to small to suffice museum standards and I want to make my question more precisely.
I do not need images of the ORIGINAL puzzle. A rebuilt one suffices.

Major bump but perhaps still relevant. I have a high res pic of that puzzle if you still need it. I will have to get rid of my zbot before I can send though.

I still need and want it.
Thank you.

Tony if by zbot you mean the ZeuS family malware you should CYA as soon as possible. ZeuS is an infostealer and it's very effective at what it does. Change your passwords. Notify your bank. Check your accounts for fraud. Etc.

Yes I immediately stopped using it online, changed important passwords and took my laptop to my local PC fix place. They said it was one of those fake things posing as something more serious. I am used to the "Your computer is infected, buy this product" types scams but this appeared to be more serious. Anyway, it's gone now and my accounts seem ok.

I am going to create a new entry for the X-Cube.
Thank you Tony.

No problem. I have other similar quality pictures of Jurgen's puzzles if you need them.

I scanned again through this article:
http://twistypuzzles.com/articles/spotlight-jurgen/
and found four things missing:
* Knuffy
* the puzzle directly below Knuffy
* X-Cube from megaminx
* "irregular" truncation of the Megaminx

Do you have some of them?

Tony Fisher · **Joined:** Sun Mar 27, 2005 7:37 pm

Yes I have all. Will upload later.

Excellent.

Are there more images of any puzzles by Jürgen I do not know of?
These are all of Jürgens creations in the museum so far:
