Tony Fisher's 13x13x13 Ball in a Cube

[Tony Fisher]

This is what I would call an assembly variation made from MoYu 13x13x13 Cube parts plus parts from my 13x13x13 Ball.

Beautiful (and very creative) puzzle!

now do it so that every other layer is made of cubic pieces

I think the ball would be pretty much lost down small dark holes.

I think Tony probably holds the record for cube assembly speed. Wow, Tony! Keep up the good work!

but what if you did M' E' M E in the right orientation :O

I don't know what that means. I only know notation like L, R etc.

I don't know what that means. I only know notation like L, R etc.

M is the vertical slice, it follows the L side. E is the horizontal slice and follows D

Wow! This looks awesome.

VGJ!

 

[Ronxu]

M is the vertical slice, it follows the R side. E is the horizontal slice and follows U (or maybe D... I think it's U though)

M follows L, E follows D.

 

[biscuit]

M follows L, E follows D.

Oh yeah... I'll edit my post

Just to save several people (with good intentions) a headache, I learned the hard way that Mr. Fisher does not want to learn notation. Please post a link to alg.cubing.net. I would spend time doing this, but I doubt he'll even look at it.

Based on a past forum conversation with him, I can deduce that he's only interested in solving puzzles independently of any outside help (and is primarily is interested in puzzle making). This is a great thing, however, my guess is that one of the ways he has managed to not look at other people's solutions is to refuse to learn notation. Should he see a move sequence by accident, he will not be able to understand it anyway. (Prevention is the ultimate form of defense.)

Again, fantastic puzzle!

Petaminx ball in a dodecahedron?

Petaminx ball in a dodecahedron?

lel that would be epic

 

[stoic]

Sensational puzzle!
Great job.

 

[Larfleeze]

Very creative idea!

Oh dear. I'd probably spend my whole life trying to solve it and get nowhere. Anyone got a Gigaminx?

Petaminx ball in a dodecahedron?

I was so incredibly close to doing that just after my Petaminx Ball but didn't think it was worth doing. I regret it now especially since I sold both Petaminx Balls.

That's correct I wouldn't. I only need to know specifics relating to the topic being discussed if it's not something I am into. I have not intentionally avoided learning notation, I just haven't had the need or inclination to do so.

That looks incredibly like my 13x13x13 sphere in a cube

Haha Tony got Ninja'd.
