Dayan Megaminx I

[Carrot]

Still no news about a white body Dayan Megaminx?

I'm getting one.

 

[Zoé]

I'm getting one.

But you're totally cheating, it doesn't count ! x)

 

[blakedacuber]

any news on if the ridged version is legal yet?

 

[kinch2002]

From delegate emails:

'I believe so, that the ridges are allowed' - Tyson
'The Board and WRC vote has indicated a plurality for allowing the ridges.' - Vincent

YESSS!!!! now only if the stickerless one will be accepted.

I think it's very unlikely that the stickerless one will be accepted, ridged or no. In fact the ridges make the stickerless one even worse, since you can see the colors on the ridges themselves.

Im just making a hypothetical statement.

 

[qqwref]

And I'm just telling you your hypothesis is ridiculous.

Yay, now I don't have to deal with gluing on tiles.

Took longer than expected, but I'm glad with the verdict. Time to get me a Dayanminx.

Dayanminx is a good name!

True that what about MegaDayan

I think it's nothing unusual, I'm sure many people talk about Meffert's minx, chinaminx, etc. I'd be surprised if I'm the first to use the term in this thread, but I guess I might be.

I never call it a minx. I use minx when I want to describe the minx family: pyraminx, megaminx, starminx, pyraminx crystal, skewb etc.

I don't get why you should call a megaminx, minx, but the pyraminx a pyra, I call them pyra and mega.

Well, perhaps the main difference is that I don't generally talk about pyraminx and I can't remember when I last solved one, so it's never something I really take into account. I agree that in general it's not the best notation, but as long as it's not used ambiguously it manages to work. I don't just refer to it as minx when it would be ambiguous, such as at a comp.

Honestly, I don't like the Dayan megaminx. It has a weird feeling and isn't as fast as a Mefferts megaminx anyway

 

[choza244]

Have you tried loosening the screws a lot? mine is really fast.

It really needs to be loosened more than you think. Robyau told me to basically get the screw head flush with the plastic and tighten if you need to.

 

[Robert-Y]

Yes it's surprisingly very stable under loose tensions. In fact, has anyone had a pop yet? I haven't.

 

[CarlBrannen]

If it's stable under loose tensions there's no reason to shorten the springs. I look forward to getting mine.
