different type of twisty puzzle - crazy and others

This week, I’m going to introduce other types of twisty puzzle.

First, let’s get “crazy”!

“Crazy” is one of my favorite design, and this concept of structure can be easily combined with different other cubes, making them much harder. Unlike the twisty puzzle cube, it doesn’t change the shape of the cube because it just adds a circle at the center of each side. What’s special is that the part inside the circle doesn’t move while the part outside is twisted at some center sides.

Second, Delta Cube (Burmuda Cube)(百慕達方塊)

it is some kind working like Rubik’s Cube. However, its center is not only square but with triangle! I think it is really a fun structure. The designer think outside the box. Why the appearance should always be symmetric?

Else,

Bandaged cube.

This concept is to add some limitation which make some normal cube harder to be solved (and also scrambled).

The most common way to create a ban cube is paste the sticker on some neighboring cubies and make them a big cuby. Because they can’t be separated, somewhere of the cube can’t be twisted. As a result, there is less useful formula, and the cubers have to try different methed to solve it.

other special bandaged cube, Latch Cube.

every time you twist it, should follow the direction. so, it iis possible that you can't rotate this lawyer.
