Teraminx finally arrived!

[Elite Ninja]

So here is my first progress update. Lol this cube takes so long to solve because of how long it takes to rotate the layers.

So far what I have basically done is made a bigger center for each color. Next im going to solve another layer of the center of each color and keep doing that until I get it to where it is basically like a normal megaminx.

[yo man im awesome]

Also yeah these puzzles are usually pretty expensive, they have hundreds if not thousands of moving parts.


p.s. after this, make yourself a petaminx haha

mother of god, that's the size of a small child's head

Never knew any of these existed. Pretty cool if you ask me.

haha there are a LOT of different kinds of puzzles out there haha. I have over 20 different kinds but there are over hundreds out there. Lots of custom made puzzles out there.

Wait for leonid to post his stash of twisty puzzles

I like reading about them and looking at the 3D models to try to learn the mechanisms, but I don't collect them.


btw Ninty you should get something meaner than a Megaminx if you want a gag present, get a bandaged 3x3x3 or something that will really piss off anyone used to solving a Rubix cube one specific way.
Something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkdy9FSkS14
There's even harder puzzles than that out there, just that bandaged cubes usually take totally different methods to solve, really annoying for "speed cubers" who are just masters of one algorithm.

This one is a fun frustrating puzzle. Sometimes I get lost in the middle of solving it hehe.

PS Im taking a dinner break and then continuing the solve.

EDIT: changed to a better vid

[igotrhythm]

Solve the centers so the rest is like a normal megaminx, huh?

I feel sorry for you once you run into parity issues. I thought the algorithms to deal with it for the 4x4 were pains in the ass.

Teraminx is just too tedious to solve to get my interest, but it's good to know some people other than me on FFR also enjoy solving these kinds of puzzles

haha yeah after trying to solve the teraminx so far I have realized it is very tedious haha. DEFINETLY NOT a puzzle I would speedcube. Gigaminx is the limit when it comes to that.

EDIT: lol now I have to make a pic of my collection XD

EDIT: getting close to finishing up all the center stuff.... hopefully the last two centers wont be a pain in the ass >.>

[Elite Ninja]

Ok so now I have finished all the centers \o/

Taking a break and enjoying some nice ice cream in the middle of January (wtf weather). Then I'll move onto the edges.

That was... actually faster than I was expecting, damn.
Nice work.

Thanks haha. I actually had to restart on the centers since working on the centers one layer at a time doesnt work. Could have done it faster. Edge pairing is gonna be a pain in the ass x.x

[Tyson ultima]

surprised qqwref hasn't posted yet

[Elite Ninja]

Wow edge pairing went by faster than I thought. Rest of the puzzle will be easy peasy lol.

[AlexDest]

try to attempt a solve on video \o/

haha I will sometime but imma fastforward the vid since this puzzle takes hours to solve. Need to figure out how to do that and upload it to youtube (and include music for people to listen to lol).

[icontrolyourworld]

use infected mushroom! (for the music)

[Elite Ninja]

GG Teraminx \o/ (roughly 5 hours on my first solve lol, mainly because of doing other things and taking breaks and restarting due to a screw up)




Next up, solve vid.

shizzzzzzzzzzz niceee

sick solve dude

[qqwref]

Heh, gj actually solving it. Stuff like this tends to turn really badly so I usually don't bother I much prefer solving it on the computer, it's several times faster and much less frustrating.
