[Unofficial] Gigaminx Crystal Solve on Gelatinbrain

[mrbiggs]

Anything? how about a non pillowed 7x7?

Hasnt this already been done?
If I can remember rite, it just wasn't suitable for speed solving.


Someone want to find the link for me please?

Oh, I thought I read on the wiki that it was impossible. Nevermind!

It's impossible if the squares are all the same size (and square, unlike the V-cube 7), the cube doesn't bend or stretch, and the middle pieces don't fall out.

I did my first gellybrain solve today, super megaminx... yay. I duno if I have the patience for the gigaminx or gigaminx crystal though. Plus, after I finished, the box that's supposed to pop up where you enter your name came up behind the puzzle. I could see it through the crack in the middle. That's so lame. Anyone know what that's about?

Well it still isn't impossible to have a 7x7 with those three traits. You woud just need to go outside the conventional realm of puzzle building. There is actually a 9x9 in existance made entirely out of dice that fits those three traits.

That problem seems to be a typical issue on macs. It could also be an issue with your brower though. Either way, its always great to see someone new to GB.

I know, Gelatinbrain doesn't work on my Mac either.

is it just like doing reduction, and then solving it like a pyraminx crystal?

 

[trying-to-speedcube...]

Nah, it has centers... So you are going to reduce it to Megaminx. The only difference is, that you can't move an outer edge without a middle edge going with it. That means that you can't pair up an outer edge with a middle edge, you have to pair up a middle edge with an outer edge. That's actually the only real difference.

nope, it's reduction and then solving like a megaminx

Dang O_O Thats freekin crazy!!

It would take me a while just to wrap my brain around that.

*applause*

I want to try this and the Gigaminx on GB but I just suck horribly at the simulator, I can't even do the 3x3
