Thanks for the reply...:) can you point the link to your QQ Penguin Puzzle...I love the mirror cube so I am getting the Siamese mirror cube soon. I just started collecting cubes but i want to know how to solve them...it's disappointing if I can't solve 'em.

[coceng123]

I really hope that you could tell us the turnings of the cube...Is it the same turnings as mirror cubes (I love it). How to solve it ? Like mirror cubes ? Thanks.

[TartanLassie5]

@coceng123 That is certainly a good question that I cannot answer as I am a beginner cuber, sorry.

[coceng123]

Thanks for this review but why didn't you turn the cube more ? :) I don't mind it's dirty as long as it's playable. Come on, if you just buy something just to keep it in the cupboard, you would want it to be shiny & brand new forever, right ?

I want my cube to be playable, anywhere...in the toilet, in the field. All my cubes are dirty & nobody would want to touch them ! I don't like my cubes to be so brand new & everybody wants to play with it, I hate that ! ha ! ha !

@coceng123 This puzzle turns really smooth without any lock ups. The centre pieces has not popped. The stickers have a nice feel. I do have some puzzles that I do play with regularly and some just to look at as the quality is not that great and may break ha ha ha like my QQ penguin puzzle for example.  Thanks so much for the big comment much appreciated.

The dimpled stickers is down to the mech. The "top" layer of a bump cube doesn't tend to be capped (unless rubiks brand, but even then sometimes it isn't capped). This is down to the thin top layer. As a result, you get a clear circle on the top centre cubie. Since your cube is really a fused version of 2 bump cubes, you have 2 cores, and 2 thin layers. So 2 dimples that show through the stickers.

Fused bump cube.

[TartanLassie5]

@heiowge LOL What a name. Shame about the dimples though - it spoils the overall look of the cube.

[heiowge]

@TartanLassie5 If that worries you, get a couple of sets of stickers from cubesmith, and fill in the dimples with milliput and sand smooth before applying them.

@TartanLassie5 actually, it is a siamese mirror blocks

[TartanLassie5]

@rubiksgh3 I did think of that name in the back of my mind but was not 100% certain. So glad you confirmed it, thanks.
