Switch Cube (3.5cm)

 
Designed by: richgain   contact | Shop: microcubology
4.5 w x 4.5 d x 1.4 h in cm |

This is Quinsequential Gamma (3.5 cm) the third version of the Quinsequential design. Quinsequential Alpha required 9 separate moves before the first piece came free. Quinsequential Beta improved that to 11 moves, and now Quinsequential Gamma is ready for public viewing with a respectable 13 moves for first removal.
As far as I know, this is a record for a 5x5x5 cube, so I am laying down the gauntlet!
I have given the design a nickname of 'The Switch Cube' - you'll understand why when you've solved it!
Available in four sizes to suit all budgets.

Anyway you could add another size to the group...I'd like to get one that would be 5cm :-)

Well, I did get the puzzle today...wow it is a very cool design! I'm a puzzle craftsman and not a great puzzle solver so I did follow your 'you tube' video...I would like to hear if anyone can put it together without help :-)

OK, I'll admit, I haven't splashed out $80 on the large version yet, but I will one day. But don't let me stop you if you want to ... Blue jeans (and other colours) now enabled on all sizes.

Check out the new video at http://www.youtube.com/user/microcubology which shows how to start putting the puzzle together. NOT FOR SERIOUS PUZZLERS THOUGH. Try it on your own first!
