Need a new challenge!

[AlGoreRhythm]

Hey everybody! I just got my 7x7 a while ago, and it was not as hard as I thought it would be. Neither are shape mods or anything else I have. SO does anybody know of a good, cheap, quality, difficult puzzle? I haven't tried cuboids yet? Are they very challenging?

You can try variants of twisty puzzle solving.

Example #1: Solve a NxNXN with N being an odd number directly into its checker board state without fully solving the cube first
and then doing the checker board pattern after.

Example #2: You can emulate cuboids with NxNXN cubes.

Example #3: Try super cubes.

3x3 OH behind your back. Or pyraminx OH.

I found that the LanLan 4x4x4 Octahedron is quite difficult. It is cheap as well (under 10$ at most places),
but the turning is not that good, it has a very simple mechanism and therefore it locks up a lot.
But for the money it is one of the most difficult puzzles you can get imo.

If you want to try cuboids, 2x4x6 and 3x4x5 can be difficult, depending on how good you can deal with
the possible parity problems.

pyraminx OH is easy! let's go with teraminx OH with feet.

The mechanism is the same as my rubiks brand 4x4x4. It's a kind of ball with some holes. All the cubies are inside those holes. That true when you say it doesn't turn very well but who want to speedcube an hard puzzle like this one ?

On the twisty puzzles forum, there is a general consensus that Eitan's Star (it has 20 sides) is the most challenging twisty puzzle made so far. I'd love to get one for myself, but it costs $100.

I put the caps on too hard and still haven't gotten most of them off after a year.

Try using a needle or sharp tac and prying it under the piece

I've tried a few things, my nails are pretty long and they do nothing.

I want to try taking out the pieces and poking something through the inside to push the cap out. Can't find anything good for it though.
