The Skewb (/ ˈskjuːb /) is a combination puzzle and a mechanical puzzle similar to the Rubik's Cube. It was invented by Tony Durham and marketed by Uwe Mèffert. [1] Although it is cubical, it differs from the typical cubes ' construction; its axes of rotation pass through the corners of the cube, rather than the centers of the faces.
Optimal solutions for the Rubik's Cube are solutions that are the shortest in some sense. There are two common ways to measure the length of a solution. The first is to count the number of quarter turns. The second is to count the number of outer-layer twists, called "face turns". A move to turn an outer layer two quarter (90°) turns in the ...
The Pyraminx Duo is a puzzle in the shape of a tetrahedron, divided into 4 corner pieces and 4 face centre pieces. Each corner piece has three colours, while the centre pieces each have a single colour. Each face of the puzzle contains one face centre piece and three corner pieces. The puzzle can be thought of as twisting around its corner ...
The V-Cube 7 is a combination puzzle in the form of a 7×7×7 cube. The first mass-produced 7×7×7 was invented by Panagiotis Verdes and is produced by the Greek company Verdes Innovations SA. Other such puzzles have since been introduced by a number of Chinese companies, [1] some of which have mechanisms which improve on the original.
