Result : it's not so easy for normal people (not puzzle enthousiast). The quickest has made it in 8 minute ... the other give up after 15 minutes.J-Baptistehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676420681977885555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-24059764839507683012011-04-25T20:34:56.090+01:002011-04-25T20:34:56.090+01:00Why crawl when you can run eh George? :D
I think ...Why crawl when you can run eh George? :D<br /><br />I think you have a point there about the number symmetry. I may just focus on colour. Or I could make one of each and see how they compare...Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926503916202872968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-89270035557934865072011-04-25T17:15:48.416+01:002011-04-25T17:15:48.416+01:00Wow, Oli, a puzzle made from 125 dice?

Why not make a 4x4x4 interlocking first? :-)<br /><br />I think that there is no (good) reason you *have to* make the pips symmetrical in the final cube. You already have the color symmetry in there.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140920751826036814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-68446188640918018602011-04-24T23:54:19.265+01:002011-04-24T23:54:19.265+01:00...cool 8-) Thanks Oli, look forward to that.........cool 8-) Thanks Oli, look forward to that....allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137859069894390167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325321154517773060.post-17722311448451318072011-04-24T22:43:27.506+01:002011-04-24T22:43:27.506+01:00I'm glad you liked it!

As I'm sure you noticed not all of the dice are in the same orientation once in the solved position. All 6 dice that are in the centre of each face don't face the same way, and nor does the one right in the middle. Next time we meet I'll bring you a plain black one, as I reckon once the pattern element is removed the puzzle becomes harder.<br /><br />For my next adventure I will be attempting a 5x5x5 interlocking cube. So you can expect one of those in your future. ;)Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926503916202872968noreply@blogger.com
