paisley Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Drop Now!! MagicCube5D is a five-dimensional analog of the Rubik's Cube puzzle. It comes as a Windows executable, and requires that you grok a little n-dimensional topology before you can try to solve it -- so far, three brave souls have!Each of the d-dimensional cubies could be considered to have its faces covered by stickers of one smaller (d-1) dimension. But each cubie also only exposes a subset of its stickers to the "outside", meaning these are the stickers you could see if you lived and operated in d dimensions. We can use the number of exposed stickers as a classification of cubie types. For the 3D case, the 27 cubies are broken into 4 types, those that expose 0 stickers, 1 sticker ("centers"), 2 stickers ("edges"), or 3 stickers ("corners"). Each sticker on a given cubie has its own color, so we could also call these 1-colored, 2-colored, etc. pieces. quote copied from boing boing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 How in the hell do I pull the stickers off? I always thought that was a pretty easy puzzle to solve, though some of the stickers were hard to take off and got wrinkled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
