Teraminx?!

[ThePizzaGuy92]

have you seen this?! WOW!!

 

[smskill12]

man that thing is like a v-minx
that must of taken so much time and hard work

 

[alexc]

I saw that before, it looks awesome!

 

[Hadley4000]

That... It's... I mean... DAMN.

 

[somerandomkidmike]

i want it.... amazing

 

[DavidWoner]

it looks like the plastic was cast roughly, but i think once its sufficiently broken it, it will turn quite well.

 

[aznblur]

It basically uses the same mechanism as a V-Cube.

Scroll down a bit.

That would be fun to do blindfolded.

 

[shadowpartner]

that is sick

 

[hawkmp4]

Imagine stickering that beast...

And I thought the megaminx was difficult! That must have taken ages to make, and will take even longer to solve!

Do dodecahedral puzzles like this get parity problems like the 4x4x4 and Vcube 6?

I don't have it of course lol, but the gigaminx is like a megaminx 5x5 and it has parity on the tredges, but when you reduct it to megaminx not. And the teraminx is like a megaminx 7x7.

It's the beast, I didn't believe it was possible to make.

No-
The Gigaminx and Teraminx are like the "5x5" and "7x7" versions of a Megaminx. There's fixed centers and an odd number of edges, so thank fully there are no parity issues.

edge pairing parity can be avoided on all size cubes, so i assume it could also be avoided on giga/teraminxs as well. it all comes down to looking ahead to whether or not you will get parity with your current rate of edge pairing(single or double) and adjusting accordingly. it works best if you finish with double edge pairing. i still need to make a vid on how to do this...

 

[hawkmp4]

Yeah, its really not that hard, just looking ahead a little can keep you from 'completing' the last tredge with the wings swapped. I don't think that really counts as a parity situation.

 

[rachmaninovian]

damn, people using k4 or any direct solving methods would have difficulty solving these minxes >.<

 

[Malachai]

Is that the only one in existence so far? Or does anyone know of any others?

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

it's the only one... ever

 

[Drewseph]

yes, its the only one. and right now its up for auction on ebay if anyone is interested.

 

[TimC]

ugh, imagine a pop on that...

That's a very insane looking beast of a puzzle there!
