A bolt warrants a nut.

12 planes of rotation, close to 1,000 parts

(not really a secret if you have spent any time at all in the IRC)

Pillowed and small.

It used to have 8 sides. It will have 14 when I am done.

truncated octrahedron?

clever you are my young padawan!

Although not complete, I believe this picture will make a certain member of this forum pretty happy

Dave

LOL Dave, those pieces look like some yummy sweet pieces (mix of choc and crunchy marshmellow!)




Pantazis

Too funny, I saw those and thought CHOCOLATE!

I think coconut!

I have a great name for your puzzle Dave:

The Bounty Elemental

It looks just like the bounty, and it's a pretty cool name for a puzzle

Just some food for thoughts!

- Greg

Ah Dave, you are such a tease. I have a feeling that I am going to be just as thrilled with this one as I am with Julia (that's the name of the Julia set themed Neon that Dave built for me last year).


Nope, this puzzle was actually given a name at the very moment the idea and theme was conceived: Frank. More on that later....

My most ambitious project to date. It has been done before. It's shape modification!
I classify it as a large classical crystal puzzle together with Tutt's Icosaminx and the Master Octahedron (My 3 dream puzzles). I am going to be so happy when its done, and gets it's stickers from Olivér Nagy!
Today it has taken 3 days. And I think it will take 2 or 3 more days before the puzzle is done.. stickers will come in a few weeks, so you are going to have to wait until, then so see it.
Also, I am so exited because of the fact that I actually build this one myself. After this one is finished, nothing will scare me!

What sense does this make?

It makes no sense to us regular humans. It's probably some super jumbling sort of puzzle in disguise.

A mono-color Minimal Twist!?

Carl

maybe stickers added to the wellknown puzzle?

Nah, I bet he just had the plugs printed.

Look inside the opening at the back side of the puzzle. The gaps do not line up for it to be a skewb. This is going to be something extremely different!

Are you saying that it might be a internally bandaged skewb, or a nightmare skewb?

please tell me modular skewb mods are coming. I would really like to own a container puzzle.

Nevermind. It IS a minimal twist. But why is it black?

Remeber the topic about a Mixup master skewb???

I think this is one where you can turn sides when you do a 60° turn

My turn:

The last Combination of a million Megaminxes!!!

- Greg

This puzzle has 362 possible direct flights, multiple stops get much too confusing and can have even three stops in between.
He is trying to decide between two different companys to fly with but both are affiliated with each other. Hopefully he will arrive soon.

have fun trying to guess what puzzle this is a hint for!

Michael Jackson, it must be child's play 2!

It has no definite shape. Its core is debatable; it doesn't have one. Seems like it should, though. How it holds together? I'm not sure yet. There are eight unique piece shapes, on face. Ten, I think, counting multiple faces, but it may also be 8.

In one rotation, two faces become one.



Sadly, I probably won't be able to build this puzzle

Anyone who's willing to work (secretly) with me, this would be a completely original design. I'd love to see one of my own designs in real life!



Oh, stupid brain. Why did you have to think of a hard puzzle BEFORE even my second mod... or my first total build....

quite possibly the worst comment I have seen on the forums , and no, not even close!

OMG that was hillarious!

Finally a new quote for my sig!!!

- Greg

Oh God, now I got it. I thought it was referring to the ABC, like the blocks the toddlers play with. Eye2Eye, you've scared me...

Back on topic, God only knows what you're hint is meaning!

That is not funny, nor is it appropriate for this forum.Though I have to admit it was witty, it pains me to see when people make fun of someone who was found innocent in court and gave such a profound musical contribution to the world.


Chris Hemerich

Hmmm...
Whether you agree with his supporters or detractors I think it fair to say Michael Jackson was a world renowned musician who made no secret of his enjoyment of children and a childlike experience. How one views a reference to this fact can be seen as insulting or innocent, just like Mr. Jackson's actual and alleged behavior can be seen as revolting or innocent according to what you choose to believe. Clearly we have both views on this forum and that is just fine.

What isn't fine is hijacking the "hints of secret ideas" thread to talk about Michael Jackson and offend each other. So this conversation is done.

"Ya know you're bad, you're bad, ya know it, ya know! "
(yeap, Micheal had some great songs)


Back to topic:

Alien Technology was born a few months ago, and today,
the first stable puzzle piece based on this has just been
designed by an Atlantian. Nothing will stop it now.

May the dolphins spread the word to the rest of Gaia.




Pantazis

See my signature for a puzzle I have to publicize yet because the pictures I have are not good enough (I need the sun!). If you know what an open directory is, you can probably find out more

Tom can't you stick with m Nomech copyright? yesmech is just a KO

- Greg

P.S: A bit too early

Just a KO? No! It's the best news I have read this year! Hand down

Is the one on the right a megaminx turned into a pyraminx crystal turned into a starminx into a pentultimate into a megaminx into a larger pyraminx crystal?

That, to me, looks like a skewb in disguise.


EDIT: Oh, wait, a shapeshifting skewb

Hint: 1) The combination of two mass produced puzzles, including one that has been made not fully proportionnal on purpose to make a beautiful puzzle!

Hint: 2)Add a face and double a point!

Hint: 3)The face equation is: Square in a (square surrounded by small squares) in a square

All this for the same puzzle, but it will be very hard to find!!

- Greg

This puzzle is a combination of two currently mass-produced puzzles. One of the two puzzles has two mass-produced shape-mods which are highly-sought after, but they are no longer in production.

This has better not be what I'm thinking it is (what I told you I was doing on the IRC)

- Greg

Its my understanding the Every puzzle Tom has done, he has stolen the idea from someone else in a very blatant fashion. you should be worried. XD



Hint:

my next puzzle is the combination of two mass produced puzzles, and has quite a few tricks up its sleeve

In the past years, Aliens had invaded Earth many times.
They failed 24 times, but they succeeded in the 25th attempt.
(yes, it is an addition to my previous description LOL)




Pantazis

Maybe too straight forward for a hint?

A 48 cube that works...

Hell yes! I can't wait!

My 7x7x7 went crazy and ate my 2x2x2 and 3x3x3 and my 4x4x4 's core! Now he's a little fat around the middle.

Hollowed 7x7 which show the 4x4, 3x3 and the 2x2 inside? something like Oskars Framed cube, just with more cubes inside?

I dont really know what im talking about.. lol

Let's see how "vague" I can be:
My next project could be almost ANYTHING!!

(And it's almost done)
