The 3D puzzles from (URL) Eric Harshbarger> and (URL) JP Brown's Cubesolver> inspired me to build the famous Rubik Cube itself. You can check it out on my webpage : (2 (...)

(...) Before I built my Cube, I searched the net to know if someone has already tried this. The 'Googlebot' found no matches. I hoped I was the first to come up with it. You beat me to it. (I haven't found my way on LUGNET till last week !). There (...) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.build)

(...) I wouldn't worry about not being the first although I know that it is annoying. Looking at your two designs it is amazing that they are so different inside to acheive the same action. Your rings obviously give a smoother (more engineered?) (...) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.build)

(...) I... uh... wasn't the creator of that. According to the LUGNET post, the credit appears to go to Martin Howard. I just happened to remember reading it not too long ago and a quick search on the LUGNET archives turned up the particular thread. (...) (21 years ago, 14-Nov-03, to lugnet.build)

(...) I can see it's a bit awkward to handle, but I'm sure I can master your version much better then the real one. Why? It looks like it's easier to take it apart and put it back color coordinated - that's the only 'solution' to the puzzle I've (...) (21 years ago, 17-Nov-03, to lugnet.build)

Very well done! Just as I'm about to post a message saying I've put instructions for my cube online when .... Another Rubik cube design appears! The curved inside must make a really big difference to the motion of the cube. I couldn't quite manage (...) (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

(...) Yes that's right. I've just logged on to Lugnet for the first time in a while and *another* Rubiks cube is in the headlines - fantastic. Martin P.S. instructions for my cube a re now available at (URL) (21 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.build)

(...) The blocking you see is a result of some of my edge pieces not having tiles on them rather than there not being a circular inside. This results in some pieces being fractionally lower or higher then their neighbour, hence when rotating there (...) (21 years ago, 22-Nov-03, to lugnet.build)

Yes, I only searched on "Rubik" and not on "Rubic". That explains why I couldnt't find anything. The oldest picture I found of my first attempt (4x4x4 studs for every element) is dated August 11, 2002. I just didn't finish it then because I (...) (21 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)

I would have loved to have had a cube that was more aesthetically pleasing like yours is, using LEGO for the colours - unfortunately my collection wouldn't stretch to that, hence the stickers were used to tidy up how it looked. Your "roll the dice" (...) (21 years ago, 24-Nov-03, to lugnet.build, FTX)
