Being bored in the Saturday morning, and found this new cube on MF8. As a cube lover, couldn't help to share with you. Hope this piece of translation would help. Translation might not as exact as original post on Mf8 forum. Guys, if you found something has been misinterpreted, please correct it
The latest Funs(方是) Puzzle BaiJie(百捷)
Name came from an ancient poem 《边将》 during Tang Dynasty(唐朝) by 秦韬玉(Qing Tao Yu). The original poem is “剑光如电马如风,百捷(Baijie)长轻是掌中” Couldn’t figure out the exact meaning of this poem, need to consult Funs designer though.
Guess: Wins all
After consulting from Funs Designer "将军的剑如同闪电般迅猛,骑着马如风般迅急,百战百胜的战局早已轻松的被他把撑在手中"
The general (in war) riding on fast horse like wind with his sharp sword like thunder, he has a belief in mind that he would win all wars.
Hope this translation is not too bad.
Baijie(百捷) is another design which cost a lot effort by Funs designers. Many of you might already impressed by Funs’ corner piece. They had an consumption when they designed Funs ShuangRen(霜刃)----If the corner piece design can be used on edge piece? Finally, this has been realized on this new cube (Baijie) which has also been applied to patent in China.
The structure is called Separated pathway structure of 3*3 Puzzle (三阶分轨道结构).
Introduction of Separated Pathway Structure
Structures of previous 3*3 are sharing a pathway with corner lock feet and edge lock feet. Because of space limitation, corner\edge lock feet couldn’t play their functions.
1. For people who knows structure quite well, ball lock feet is most ideal for corner lock feet which support the center piece perfectly and enjoys high stability.
2. Cylindrical edge lock feet are better than ball edge lock feet. In this case, the edge lock feet remain stable because no matter how the corner lock feet stretch, it wont reach to the edge lock feet.
3. In all, corner lock feet run on ball pathway, edge lock feet run on cylindrical pathway. Both separated.
Triple Anti-Pop Design
Witden version Four also has the separated pathway conception which designed by HN, same designer of Shuangren corner piece.
The conception of Separated Pathway by Witden 4*4 is Baijie’s prototype. The distinguished differences
1. Witden version Four has double lock feet on edge pieces
2. The inner pathway on Witden version Four isn’t full.
3. The corner piece on the external pathway by Witden version Four doesn’t apply ball lock feet.
Witden version Four is very stable only by the center piece of inner pathway, let alone Baijie (百捷) using full edge pieces on the inner pathway with something like “wing” which has anti-pop function already.
With long lock feet, anti-pop function would be improved by many times.
Baijie(百捷) has the least chance to pop in 3*3 version. Not “one of”, it is “the”.
Have to say, this cube is not hyped because of its characteristic--Separated Pathway + Rotated Clip-On of Baijie edge pieces same with Shuangren’s corner pieces.
Impressive.
Two versions for Baijie(百捷) : 55mm and 57mm
Release Time: After the Spring Festival in China (2014-2-10)
Feel free to share any thought about this cube in this thread.
