My black plastic MoYu 13x13x13 in retail packaging has arrived!

[Tony Fisher]

So today it finally arrived. My second favourite puzzle of all time. A truly unbelievable creation. Movement is superb, looks are superb, packaging is superb, stickers are superb, colour of plastic is superb (black), shape is.... pillowed, oh well I guess I can't have everything but I think I am in love.

So does the fun grepped increase from the 11x11x11 exponentially?

Ha ha, I would never get through a solve without making at least one mistake and having to start again. Unless I learn another method I doubt I'll ever solve anything bigger than a 7x7x7.

How big is this compared to, say, an SS 9x9 or an 11x11? I already have a lot of trouble holding the 9x9, and the 11x11 was so big I could only solve it with the puzzle in my lap or on my desk (I couldn't hold it with my left hand and be able to turn the rightmost layer only). If this puzzle is any bigger than that, I don't think it would be fun for me to solve.


PS: Why would you have to start again if you make a mistake? You just have to undo a few moves, and even if you can't, you should be able to mostly move the solved stuff back together.

So what is your favourite puzzle?

The same as most twisty puzzle fans who were around at the start- 3x3x3.

True but it would be one step forward then two steps back. If I could hold it as comfortably as a 3x3x3 I might have a chance but no way on something this big. I was even messing up doing one side earlier. I don't have the drive any more to solve things so my mind wanders and I forget where I am. I wanted to film myself just doing a side but after 40mins I got fed up.
It's quite a bit bigger and heavier than an 11x11x11.

I couldn't resist taking a look inside. As far as I can tell it's the extra wings in the mechanism that makes it so stable. I think adding even more wings would make >20x20x20 cubes possible. I will post an assembly video (hopefully) in a few days.

That's a stunning piece of kit. Don't envy you putting it back together though.
