Uncanny Cube

Buy at http://www.shapeways.com/model/32612/uncanny_cube.html Copyright (c) 2009, Bram Cohen & Oskar van Deventer. Uncanny Cube is an idea of Bram Cohen. The puzzle has an uncanny resemblance with a Rubik's Cube, but it has a twist. It has only five rotation axes, one of which is at an angle of 45 degrees to the others. For your amusement: the making of this video clip, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y7wqSO1rKk

This puzzle was 3D-printed using nylon-powder SLS technology, which explains its price. It is the very first prototype, costing its designer and maker a lot of money to create. Please do not confuse it for a cheap mass-produced puzzle.

Will you get a share of the profits from the Bermuda Cube [for the non-cube geeks, that's a mass-produced version of this puzzle that will soon be released]?

[OskarPuzzle]

@GoombaGeek64 No, and I should not. It is a different concept and design, that only superficially looks similar to Uncanny Cube.

[EPICGUYDUDE]

does the uncanny cube Jumble?

[OskarPuzzle]

@EPICGUYDUDE Yes, it jumbles

[LukeLane1984]

That must be a pain in the behind to solve! Very interesting concept, very intreguing.

[bobthegiraffemonkey]

as usual with oskar's puzzles, i think i would struggle to figure out how to scramble the thing!

[Cortake]
