A crazy face turning octagonal prism which is also the largest multilayer cross cube/X-cuboid.
If face turning octagonal prisms are made with cuts like the Tuttminx 1 has, they will all be 2x2x2s no matter which size we go.
Ilya Toporgilka also made this prism crazy. This type of crazy shows the internal hidden pieces.
All of the face turning octagonal prisms have internal 2x2x2 pieces.
Ilya Toporgilka achieved the crazy aspect of a puzzle differently to what other crazy 2x3x3s and 2x2x2s were using. On crazy 2x3x3 and crazy 2x2x2 the hidden pieces were located and displayed inside the circles. Ilya Toporgilka's crazy puzzles, however, use a completely different location system. The internal pieces are located where they are and they are exposed like on a Shapeshifting 5x5x5 II. Special sticker placement is implemented in order to make a look the puzzle has one layer less. These modifications make the puzzle neither any different nor not fully functional.
The exposed pieces show internal colours. One corner is a fixed corner for alignment. It functions and solves like a fused cube. On each side the circle is drawn. This circle does not display the hidden internal edges. These pieces are revealed and stickered already. The crazy 2x2x2 circles show the top and the bottom edge stickers. On Ilya Toporgilka's crazy puzzles the stickers show the side plain. This all looks and functions exactly as a crazy 2x2x2.
There are 4 possible crazy 2x2x2s:
Deformed centrosphere 3x3x3(all 6 sides are fixed)
Jupiter(1 fixed side)
Uranus(2 adjacent fixed sides)
Neptune(3 adjacent fixed sides)
The crazy 2x2x2s before Jupiter and Uranus came out had all been Neptunes.
After some analysis Ilya Toporgilka noticed that the puzzle above also is a multilayer super floppy 2x20x20 Cross cuboid. Cross cubes made this size with multilayers become sharp and for this reason these cubies have to be "sanded". However, by sanding each layer loses its height. By extending upwards the height, oppositely, increases. So only the last third choice was left. It is to extend each center sideways. This reduces the puzzle to a 2x2x2.
Ilya Toporgilka then compared it with the objects of a "planet size". They all turn into a sphere because the sizes makes it do so. This law happens with a 10-layer cross super floppy 2x20x20 cuboid. The puzzle reduces to a 2x2x2 only if it is "big enough". If an object is not "very big", it stays as it is and never(almost) deforms its shape(the Earth,Moon, but buildings, mountains).
It is important to plan how to arrange the colours and where. The stickering uses the void. There is only one way to sticker the puzzle.
