This is my completed Petaminx based on Andrew Cormier's design. It is entirely custom built and contains almost 1000 moving parts.

I noticed something about naming dodecahedral puzzles: kilominx, megaminx, gigaminx, the prefixes are the same with kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte. if someone were to make a 1-layer dodecahedral puzzle, will it be called a minx?
but, there has not been any word about anything, i mean im sure hes thinking how to make it but there is absolutely nothing that says he's finish. we would have seen a prototype or something.
a megaminx takes me 4-5 minutes, a gigaminx takes me around 50, so if the correlation of dodecahedral puzzle solving times -snort- is a linear function the petaminx should take me 3 days, 11 hours, and 20 minutes...
:O oh dear
(I actually did the math and I don't usually talk like that LOL)
