Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my new, absolutely ingenius puzzle mod: the full color cube in cube. In the picture below you see the solved state, cube in cube with all six colors visible, also on the back at the same time! Note you can't reach this beautiful state with a regular cube by mere twisting, I applied a special modification. Bidding starts at $100.

... i dont get it

Wow...nice one Stephan, I just made one, so sorry I won't be buying off you.

This is a cube mod by the way, before you think it can be done on a regular cube.

Video to come....

$100, sign me up, where can I get one.

Neat Idea

Close, swap two :)

Fiendish! I might make one of these and hand it to an unsuspecting dupe...

But shouldn't it be called the Full Color Cube in Cube Cube?

That would mean that on this puzzle, the standard "imposible" 6 stripe pattern at http://www.randelshofer.ch/rubik/patterns/ZA600.07.html now becomes possible, and others such as a 2 clamp pattern here http://www.randelshofer.ch/rubik/patterns/ZS050.01.html can be done, too... neat idea! I was thinking your mod was a simple 2 piece swap, but I was thinking it was a corner swap... either/or, I guess it works out the same. L8r.

I swapped two corners for my mod

NOOOO! Don't reveal my secret! How am I supposed to get rich now?

Someone said it before me....

Whatever happened to your lucrative speed-shirt buisiness?

Don't remind me of that, I only had one customer and he washed the shirt which offended me so much I couldn't sleep for five days (I did sleep during the nights, though).

More like 12. Four opposite corner pairs times three inner cube orientations. Um, unless you mean "unique" differently. Somehow "four unique solution(s)" sounds strange...

More like 24576. It's not a super cube.

OK, I'm lost. How are you calculating the 24K figure?

Every center has 4 orientations. There are 4^6/2 solved states in a normal 3x3 (the last center has only 2 possible positions, because of parity). So 4^6/2*12 for this new mod.

Hi Stefan/folks

It's not technically a mod! That's because it's neither a physical modification to the 3x3x3 cube nor a new/different sticker design. So it's just 2 swapped cubies anyway. But yes, this allows many otherwise impossible pretty patterns that are of otherwise the wrong parity

Now, some pretty patterns would also require twisted corners and/or flipped edges. Can anyone think of any? (challenge!)

Cheers!

mod‧i‧fy  /ˈmɒdəˌfaɪ/ [mod-uh-fahy]
–verb (used with object)
1. to change somewhat the form or qualities of.

The qualities of the cube have been changed. Therefore modified.

Am I right? :S

Well physically you have changed pieces into a position not possible with standard and you can make one by changing stickers over, so it is a mod.
