Wow, cool puzzles! I'd love to see some of these produced in real life and played with.

Elwyn · **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2010 11:27 pm

they are all amazing
Im a little confused about how the melencholy cube turns. Is it just like a 3x3x3 with curved cuts?

theVDude · **Posted:** Mon Feb 15, 2010 11:52 pm

I like them!

URodent · **Posted:** Tue Feb 16, 2010 12:18 am

Very cool puzzles! The master diamond and master pyramid in particular, if only you had a master skewb to complete the set :wink:

Jared · **Posted:** Tue Feb 16, 2010 12:37 am

The Zero Cube is amazing!

traiphum · **Posted:** Tue Feb 16, 2010 12:53 am

If "Zero Cube" has two layer of circle, should be very amezing.
nice designed.

Bram · **Posted:** Tue Feb 16, 2010 1:33 am

The Circle Tetrahedron is a very interesting concept, that's the one I'd most like to see prototyped.

GuiltyBystander · **Posted:** Tue Feb 16, 2010 2:10 am

Daqing Bao did one a while back. I wonder if it will be mass produced like his other crazy cubes.

These are great, but isn't a master diamond an FTO?

The fluffy cube is wiggling!

FTO + moving centers

Thank you all!
I want to answer some questions:
1. these puzzles is theoretically possible to build (some people have already done something)
but I do not have much time and resources, so I will do only the my favorites.

2. Melancholy Cube - contains the 3*3, is the antipode Brilic Cube:)
3. Master Skewb - I'll do it later, and something that is based on it
4. Double Zero Cube - also is in my queue, you will soon see this
5. Master Diamond - is FTO+SkewbDiamond, but are completely different mechanism.
6. Fluffy Cube - there are no flat surfaces, but it is really cool!

7. Circle Tetrahedron - see this puzzle there:

Yeap, that's what I thought!

Wonderful designs, my picks would be the Melancholy Cube, Circle Tetrahedron, and the Fluffy Cube!

With the circle tetrahedron, could you reshape the puzzle so that the corners and the turning part of the circle, and could you reshape it back into a skewb shape? That would be awesome!

Yes, it is possible ...

also, well I think that it is possible to make Full Circle Tetrahedron, 4 of the terms on the sides and 4 circles at the corners;)
well then I can do Full Circle Skewb (with 8 circles)

Stop being so epic at making puzzles!!!! I want them all!!!!!! ugghhh Too many puzzles, not enough money. I WANT THAT ZEROID CUBE THOUGH!!!

Luke · **Posted:** Sat Apr 24, 2010 10:33 am

Agreed. If I had to have one of your puzzles it would either be the Zeroid Cube, the Fluffy Cube, or the Circle Tetrahedron.

When you get a Double-Zero together, post a video of it in action!

theVDude · **Posted:** Sun Apr 25, 2010 6:19 pm

These are great! The circle tetrahedron is still one of my favorites, though!

what I would like to see is the same thing, but having the circles run around the corners instead of the centers.

but seriously, that double zero cube is breathtaking

Corner Circle Tetrahedron - is possible, is in my plans...
also Double (Corner and Face) Circle Tetrahedron :shock:

If I can this, then we can build - 8 Corner Circle Skewb

These are all pretty awesome designs. The double-zero will be extremely annoying to solve. Good luck to whoever dares to challenge it.
