Poll: Do you think the Dazzler and the Illusion are a waste of time?

[Cool Frog]

That's a bad reason, because everything you do accomplishes something. Does that mean there is nothing that is a waste of time?

Yes. Small, but you did something.

Yes. The outcome being positive or negative is another story.

The Dazzler and the Illusion aren't a waste of time, they're too expensive.

Waste of time? Maybe not.

Waste of money? Definitely.

I would bet that very few people here on a strict budget would make either of those cubes a top priority on their buylist.

It's better if you justify the purchase of a luxury item yourself. If you don't find the item appealing for whatever reason then it becomes easier to decide not to purchase the item. On the other hand, if the item is expensive and you cannot afford to purchase it then the decision to not purchase the item is already made for you.

The way you phrased the question appears to be heavily loaded and could potentially be insulting toward the inventor.

Do you think a Rubik's Cube is a waste of time? Are they worth the money?

Ultimately, the decision is up to you but if you want others to influence your decision then so be it... much like others being influenced to buy iPhone's etc... i.e. Can you justify its purpose? Are there similar products available with better value?

Is this thread a waste of time? Does it provide value to the forum? Personally I don't see any reason to post a thread that's similar to others but with different wording to make the goal different (i.e. to incite hate rather than open an intelligible discussion about justifying the purchase of a collectors item).

i have to say that the illusion is quite a fun puzzle. although it is just solve one side and pair 4 edges, it is quite an interesting puzzle. its actually 'harder' because you arent matching colors. so you have to think a little bit and lookahead gets kinda tricky. the dazzler on the other hand, i dont know that this bring much more to the table. my dazzler, however, is broken in nicely and i can solve the centers and edge pairing on it faster than i can with my other 7x7s. i like the feel of the stickered 7x7 better, because you know how vcube is with their lube is crazy! and then you have nothing that gives a 'grip' to the surface! ahahah

I personally think the Illusion is a pretty neat concept, though I doubt I'd ever buy it.

I took one of my white 3x3 DIY's and colored 3 sides black, and left 3 sides alone, it's fun to solve into a checkerboard pattern

Whether it's a waste of time or not, these questions are not important.
The real matter is, does it blend?

That is the question.
