Very cool puzzle, Brian. I hope you make some more good ones for us!

Nice one. Wow, Meg, that's amazing!
#8: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Nov 24, 2009
I like the twist. Great puzzle.

Dangit! Meg beat me to it about the blue and green. :-) Note that on cheap clone cubes the blue and green is sometimes adjacent, but since this puzzle says Rubik you are spot on.

I assume your youngest is solving using a layer method, in which case 2.5min is quite respectable! If he/she really likes cubing, he/she could look into speedcubing. It involves more complex pattern recognition and algorithms, but it can result in some truly impressive solve times, and it's fun. (World Record is currently just over 7 seconds I think).

Happy cubing! :-)

LOL

Very neat cube :)
#18: Cro-Magnon (Hermit) on Dec 15, 2009
Yeah, they fake all those videos of official competitions too. All those people solving in under 30, 20, or even 10 seconds. Fake I tell you!
;-) ;-)

Hey. What a blast from the past. This is my first puzzle. Kristen, did you stumble across it or were you looking for it?
#24: Kristen Vognild (Kristen) on Apr 1, 2012
I was solving random small puzzles
#25: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Apr 1, 2012
Very cool.

I see you started out with a strong first puzzle Brian. I would expect nothing less. Love all the conversations your puzzles always percolate. Fun solve!
