Re: Teraminx finally arrived!
jesus dude thats impressive. I assume there's a set pattern you use to solve it, much like a rubix cube.

Re: Teraminx finally arrived!
I have a pretty big collection myself but they're usually just cool-looking morphy puzzles. One of my favorites is the Mirror Blocks puzzle which looks really awesome when scrambled.
However, the bigger cubes (4x4x4, 5x5x5, Megaminx+, etc) start to become less interesting. The bigger puzzles are harder to turn and don't really offer anything challenging or interesting other than tedium. The algorithms and logic you use to solve the smaller puzzles are pretty much identical no matter how big you go. Blindfold solving larger cubes, though, is a fun yet still-tedious challenge. But, idk, puzzles that can't be speedsolved in a matter of seconds just feel tedious to me. |

Re: Teraminx finally arrived!
I have been waiting for the 11x11x11 rubiks cube to come out for a while from v-cube but I really don't know how long it's going to be since it seems to be in-active right now. I'm not really sure.

Re: Teraminx finally arrived!
Don't wait for V-Cubes - trust me on this. They announced the 6x6x6 would be ready in a few months in like 2005, and it took until 2008 to actually get released. Then it was years before anything else got released (and they still haven't made a new big cube). And with their recent releases it looks like the biggest cubes are going to take a long time if ever. (Plus, honestly, I'm not sure V-Cubes makes the best very big cubes anymore, although I've heard with enough modding they can be amazing.)
I actually have an 11x11x11 and it turns pretty well - the only problem is that it's so huge I can't even properly hold it. Needless to say, the unofficial world record is held by someone with bigger hands.

http://51morefun.com/index.php?main_...products_id=16 I might get it because I have heard a lot of positive reviews but right now I don't have the money for it seeing as I just got a Teraminx XD. Also I just ordered an extra set of stickers from Cubesmith for the Teraminx since a couple of the stickers on my Teraminx right now are losing its color. Its not peeling off but the color is fading away >.> Here is a picture of what I mean:

Re: Teraminx finally arrived!
It's fun to try to improve your best time on it - I think that's why a lot of people do cubing, or any skill-based easily-measured activity really. Personally I think I've only solved mine a few times, but I do also collect cubes so it's really neat to have. I've done more solves on the computer one, but still probably in the single digits or near them.

And sorry about those Teraminx stickers D:

Re: Teraminx finally arrived!
I enjoy the larger puzzles as a collection more than solving haha. I won't be solving the Teraminx much but it's cool to have. I don't think the 11x11x11 will be much of a turning issue and will be more enjoyable to solve often and improve times on, but that isn't going to happen with the Teraminx lol.

Re: Teraminx finally arrived!
I must disagree. I think the big cubes are really fun to watch when they're sped up

Re: Teraminx finally arrived!
I got bored with the 3x3x3 after I started getting <50s. The 4x4x4 is still fun though, and is way better for impressing the ladies.
