Exceptions with logos on certain puzzles.

[Lucas Garron]

You may laugh. It seems I'm not as gifted as you in english.

We actually thought about the wording of 3l carefully, and decided to keep it. It's good to know if "at most one logo" is confusing speakers who are not comfortable in English (in particular, considering that comfortable enough the phrasing is slightly unusual for native speakers, too).

There should be an exception for Square-1. If you were to cover the logos, you can still recognize the pieces from the front. (For those who don't really want to take the logos off)

Agreed. Because square 1 never rotates, 2 logos provides no advantage.

 

[TDM]

2 logos provides no advantage

Only if they're both on the E-slice pieces.

Well you can't make an F, B, or S turn, but you can make an E turn.

Right. If you have a logo on the top face, then there should be no exception.

I remember at My last comp they made everyone to remove the Dayan Logo from there Dayan Megaminxs why is that?

Probably bkoz 3l allows logos only for cube puzzles, not for megaminx
(Well, that is formal following of the rule)

Oh ok thanks.

IMHO it's rather because the Dayan logo can be felt when you put the finger on the center. At least it looks like a much better reason than that "only for cube puzzles" thing, which would just be a completely silly and psychorigid interpreataion of the rules.

That being said, I've never seen anybody complaining about that logo at any of the comps I've attended so far.

Then why are logos allowed for cubes in the first place? I can feel a face with the dayan logo too, but I always see either this face or opposite, so the logo feeling gives me no information. Well, except for bld.
Same with megaminx - you can see either logo face or opposite in most cases.

I did two rounds of 2x2 with a logo on a corner and had no problems.

Well where else would you put the Logo?

 

[kcl]

Well where else would you put the Logo?

You would use an invisible one

 

[Michael Womack]

You would use an invisible one

that's true.

As a native English speaker I also find the wording a little uncomfortable and can see why confusion would arise. "At most one" is clear but the presence of the words "must have" imply that a logo is required, even if when carefully read that's not the case, and it would be a silly requirement anyway. It would be clearer to say "no more than one logo is permitted".

Would changing must to may fix the problem? A cube may have at most one logo? Minor change, but could be significant

Regarding a past comment about Megaminx logos, I DID feel the Dayan Logo. If I had a custom logo (On my SS) You could not feel it.

Oh, and for MoYu cubes, you can feel their logo as well (Bad for BLD)

Lol my Moyu logos wear off within a month. I beat up stickers. A lot.
