Bagley) Message-Id: <9506072107.AA36858@source.asset.com> To: Cube-Lovers@ai.mit.edu Subject: Dinosaur Rubik's Cube Hi I just just added new modes to my xdino puzzle. It is the Rubik's Dinosaur Puzzle recently mentioned. (A cube with diagonal X cuts.) In addition to the Period 3 movement it now has a Period 2 movement with the faces cut up like: ___ |\ /| | X | |/ \| --- as opposed to just \ / X / \ In the Period 3 movement the cube turns around a corner while in Period 2 movement it turns around the center of an edge. Of course if you want to make it harder there is a "Both" mode where you can have both turning modes at once. I would like to thank Derek Bosch for suggesting the Period 2 movement -> Bosch's Cube :) I spent a good 10 minutes trying to solve Bosch's Cube and did not get anywhere. The Period 3 seems easier. Be the first in the Universe to solve it. :) All those who have X should be able to run it. There are many other puzzles in the collection as well. Any problems with the compilation or bugs ... let me know. Cheers, --__--------------------------------------------------------------- / \ \ / David A.
