The Megaminx has 20 corners and 30 edges. It is possible on a Rubik's Cube to have a single pair of corners and a single pair of edges swapped, with the rest of the puzzle being solved. The corner and edge permutations are each odd in this example, but their sum is even. This parity situation is impossible on the Megaminx.
This puzzle is not really a true 2-dimensional analogue of the Rubik's Cube. If the group of operations on a single polytope of an n-dimensional puzzle is defined as any rotation of an (n – 1)-dimensional polytope in (n – 1)-dimensional space then the size of the group, for the 5-cube is rotations of a 4-polytope in 4-space = 8×6×4 = 192,
The Rubik's Cube was inducted into the US National Toy Hall of Fame in 2014. [14] On the original, classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces was covered by nine stickers, with each face in one of six solid colours: white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow.

This number, in relative terms, is extremely low compared to other puzzles like the Rubik's Cube (which has over 43 quintillion combinations), the Pocket Cube (with over 3.6 million combinations), or even the Pyraminx (with just over 930 thousand combinations, excluding rotations of the trivial tips).
[2] [3] [4] Many of his combination puzzles are in mass production by Uwe Mèffert and WitEden. Oskar van Deventer has also designed puzzles for Hanayama. He was a Guinness World Record holder for his 17×17×17 "Over the Top Cube" Rubik's cube-style puzzle from 2012 to 2016, [5] [6] when it was beaten by a 22×22×22 cube. [7]
