Hello puzzles friends,

After I have talking with friend about master skewb cutting and new puzzles that being make.
the Bermuda Megaminx is run in my head, then calculate!!!!!! Wow it possible to make.
an hour passed it cut, glue, fill, sand,. here is picture in photobucket <<More picture added

First cut :


Second cut : four face bermuda rep 7th


Edit : finally it finished
First moving : its can do only 3 faces : white, yellow, gray.
Turning : not so good, it is same result why merbuda cube need a bigger center than regular cube.
Thank you Burgo for advice Fishered face, I will do it later

Awesome! I cannot wait to see this puzzle finished. I presume for now you're just going to make the one, but it would be nice to see some Planet variations to match the former Bermuda series.

Very Great Idea! Just thinking of it will change it's shape or not.

, Nice work!!!

It reminds me puzzle which I made few years ago but never finished. Now I found it at garage and made pictures. Two opposite sides are identical.

Nice work Aleh and Traiphum,
Have you considered this side too..
You could have a combination of all 3 types.
Cheers,
Burgo.

Not finished but very promising, indeed.

Great, Aleh. would like to see you continue make it.

Thank you Burgo, that is almost same this


more picture :


This project need the parts from the behindminx 4 edges and 4 corners, Thanks to "Sacrifice megaminx"

Yes.. with your 1st one it is lined up with another face, but with this one no faces are lined up.
I love the 2 new pics too, they will be perfect .
I had another idea today too, for the Fisher's face:

I might even make one of these with 3 faces `fishered` and the other's normal .
Cheers,
Burgo.

This is great!!! Thank you very much for shared this idea

However this fishered face idea will only work to a certain point. The edgepieces on a normal Megaminx have some thickness at their "tips" still. It can be extended only as far as that thickness goes away, not further. So let's hope there is just enough to extend to the very corner. On a Hungarian Supernova for example, extending an edge to the corner after a 36° turn wouldn't work at all. Unless the whole geometrie is changed of course. But that would involve shortening the arms of the core at least. Unless it can all be sanded down far enough...

Yes,the Fishered face was shown by Aleh's picture


today I assemble again after reshape some parts, unluck I dont have anyface left for fishered style.
look I should remove one bermuda face out for this,

Wow it's truly amazing when finished ! Congratulations !!!

Hi Traiphum,
I have been awaiting the results.. you work so fast, I can't believe it! It looks beautiful, the prototype looks so professional. It was a great idea .
Cheers,
Burgo.

Oh wow, if this was mass produced, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Traiphum, this puzzle is beautiful. Do you planning to sell it?

You must show it in New Puzzle.

Thank you Claus, but it no good turning quality.
the picture is alway more beautiful than puzzle.

more idea there : http://bbs.mf8-china.com/viewthread.php?tid=85498



for example:

Wow that is great.
Can it put all 5 face together in one?

So would this...bermuding be a new category in puzzles? Such as there is jumbling, fudging, boublzizing (probably spelled that wrong), etc. Could this be applied to deeper cut puzzles? I can see a lot coming from this new technique.

Dayan has recently reported on the future mass production of the puzzle

This is a little late, but is that an examinx in the background?

That's Traiphum's Petaminx (design by Andrew Cormier)

I am shocked this has not generated more posts. Look at it! And made by Dayan, so it will probably turn good as well! Why we would ignore this, I have no idea!

I can't make up my mind what I prefer, the straight or the curved cuts, they both look so good!

Traiphum's version looks harder.. the one with curved cuts is very close to having 2 adjacent faces as the finishing position, which is not as difficult. It probably needs a bit of R&D to get one hard enough, I think, just because of the extra space on the puzzle. They probably intend to make a planet series, but that probably means a lot of easy ones and only a few harder ones. We just have to wait and see for more information. I am watching with anticipation. I just hope they can make them hard enough to justify them. They'd want to be sure to add `something new` to the Bermuda cubes IMO.

Cheers,
Burgo.
