I want a puzzle that is really, really hard

[Stefan]

Square-1, super square-1, pyraminx crystal and even void cube and rainbow cube... why do people treat Hadley like a noob?

This kind of puzzle looks like a very good idea. I think there are communities/forums for those as well, maybe they could help you better at finding good ones with lower prices? I doubt many people here will be able to.

The problem is, you pretty much have to get a new one, and there are very few places where you can do that. Once you get the puzzle you have to register it online before you start the "Adventure", so getting one that is not NIB might be registered already.

Lack of knowledge of those puzzles is my guess.

Sorry, with "this kind of puzzle" I meant a broader range of mechanical puzzles, not necessarily with registering and "adventures". The Dutch and German cube days for example are kinda shared but split between us twisty puzzlers and the other puzzlers, they have their take-apart puzzles and disentanglement puzzles and impossible object puzzles and stuff like that. That's what I meant, and I feel like there must be online communities for that. Or is this "adventure" aspect the only intriguing aspect of those puzzles you mentioned so you must get one of those? I admit I don't much about them.

Oh, I thought you were talking just about the adventure puzzles. No, I'm pretty much open to anything that will be a good head scratcher. I'll try to see if there is a mechanical puzzle forum thing as well.

I found http://www.deathball.net/notpron/ quite interesting, the first bits are easy but it gets challenging pretty quickly, i never got past about lvl 15.

lol. Again.

Maybe try building a Petaminx? There's a guide around somewhere

Cubic 3x3x5. You can get it at thetwistystore.com

 

[driftboy_wen]

IMO, gigaminx, teraminx, or maybe petaminx isnt that hard.. it is just like 5x5, 7x7, or 9x9 in a megaminx shape.. it'll took a looong time to solve it, but i think (once again, because i only have gigaminx, and it is easy to play, and VERY HARD to TURN) it is not that hard

The nintendo barrel. That's a tricky one.

If you can't find one I might sell you mine. I gave up on it

I think that the most difficult puzzles for me are shape mods of existing puzzles. Sometimes it is really hard to get it into your head that puzzles like pillowed mastermorphix are just a 3x3.

That's been my experience as well. It seems like once you figure out the general strategy of twisty puzzles and the basics of how commutators work you can solve pretty much any twisty puzzle. Shape mods add a new challenge. The ghost cube makes the pillowed mastermorphix look like a junior 2x2 in comparison. The MorphEgg (not the Golden Egg, but that might be a similar challenge) from Meffert's is also a rather difficult 3x3 shape mod.

 

[Owen]

Wait! Try a 4x4 without, algorithms or strategy. Just use logic.

I have found the FTO VERY difficult, and it is the only puzzle that I own that I cannot solve. Have you tried it?
