Illegal Cube
by Oskar_van_Deventer
Illegal Cube is a puzzle that should not be allowed to exist. This 'cube' has two corners and three edges too many, and two pentagonal faces. Still all types of turns seem to work. This puzzles is inspired by an idea by Jason Smith. Bram Cohen calls this type of designs 'fudged'.

Fadi Cube
by Oskar_van_Deventer
Now mass-produced by Meffert!

Fadi Cube is a twisty puzzle like Rubik's Cube. It is an attempt to use other than conventional slices to make a twisty puzzle. At first sight, it looks impossible to twist this puzzle at all. But the pieces go over and under each other to make it possible. According to Bram Cohen, the closest "relative" of Fadi Cube is Katsuhiko Okamoto's Lattice Cube.

Nested Cube
by Oskar_van_Deventer
Nested Cube has two 2x2x2's, one inside the other. However, the two 2x2x2 can not move independently, as two outer corners are connected to two inner corners. This introduces a new way of bandaging.

Astroid Attack
by Oskar_van_Deventer
Astroid Attack is a twisty puzzle like Rubik's Cube. It is based on Bram Cohen's "jumble" concept, where the geometry is no longer isometric and faces do not turn in regular steps of 360/N degrees. The size (volume) of this puzzle is the same as a 6x6x6 cm Rubik's Cube.

Big Boulder READ INSTRUCTIONS
by Oskar_van_Deventer
Big Boulder is a blatant case of twisty puzzle extremism. 1 core, 60 centers, 140 corners and a whopping 150 edges. That is a lot of pieces. And to make it more complex, this puzzle jumbles too, which means that some moves may be blocked by other pieces. This puzzle is based on the geometry of a Pentagonal hexecontahedron. You may want to look that up on Wikipedia. The object of the puzzle is to scramble it and then solve it to a state where each color only touches itself or black.

Jumble Prism
by Oskar_van_Deventer
JumblePrism is an idea by Bram Cohen. It is a twisty puzzle like Rubik's Cube, but using on a triangular prism. Because of this odd geometry, the pieces get very "jumbled", as Bram calls it.
