four times the size —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.137.104.169 (talk • contribs)
- It depends on how do we define the "size". As I cited the source, while you didn't, I'll replace it with "two times" again. Cmapm 11:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
huh? edit
The second paraghraph doesnt make too much sense. If it is only the color that is changed, why is it more difficult to solve? 24.91.9.206 15:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- Essential is its 2nd sentence: "The two types differed only in the orientation of one of the small cubes." Cmapm
Certainly the method by which cubes are moved must involve rotating the box to let gravity take its course, no? Davilla 19:18, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Movable you say? edit
I've never seen one of these before, so my obvious question upon seeing the photo was: how do you move the pieces? The article doesn't say.--190.39.212.48 23:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Gravity, and nothing else. 134.173.200.164 (talk) 05:16, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
Original/Other names? edit
The Twisty Puzzles source states the cube was originally known as: "Zanimatelnyi Kubik", translated "amusing cube" (though the amusing part seems a rougher translation). While the Kvant magazine instead clearly opens with "Minus Cube" in Russian, so I'm curious where the supposed original name of "Amusing Cube" is from and whether it's worth including. From what I've seen of photographed packaged examples of the cubes online, they use neither and simply go by Кубик (cube) instead. --Comfycore (talk) 00:34, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
