1538 pieces to memorize = 7.25 7x7x7's. It would require about 35 rooms to hold it all, so I'd have to create a bunch more. Considering a typical single 7x7x7 takes me a little under an hour and 2 7x7x's take me close to 3 hours, I'd guess a 17x17x17 would probably take me a day or so to solve (24 hours).

I don't think I'll be trying that anytime soon, sorry - you've reached my limit.

(But if I can figure out how to get faster...)


Still, this is soooo cool!

I wonder why a 17x17, instead of a 15x15 or 19x19. Nice digital images as well.

Did you look at the mechanism? It's pretty clear why it's a 17x17 from looking at that. What Oskar essentially did was to take a 3x3, wedge pieces between the layers (like the Rubik's 5x5), wedge pieces between the layers to make a 9x9, wedge pieces between the layers to make a 17x17. Each transformation turns a cube with N layers into a cube of size 2N-1 layers. The next step would be a 33x33.

And he answered to you "A eso me refería".

The 17x17 mechanism is awesome. I thought that 9x9 looked like a spaceship, but that is nothing compared to 17x17.

I am waiting for a 17x17 megapop explosion . It would be epic.

Next step... 25x25? 33x33?

No, 33x33.
It said on the twisty puzzle forums

The way I'm looking at it the area inside the red circle is a 3x3x3. The area inside the blue circle is a 5x5x5. The area inside the green circle is a 9x9x9. The pieces outside the green circle make it a 17x17x17. The next step up using this design would be a 33x33x33.

Yes, I edited it before you post.

I got confused with 13x13... 2n-1 for it would be 25x25... but then realised it doesn't exist... http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16208

Meh, who would want one? Erhm sorry, who would solve it more than 5 times once they got one, I mean seriously a 7x7 in around 8 minutes, a 17x17 in around what 2 hours?
