I've decided to post a whole new thread for this fun I'm having. On this page I will list weights and measurements as I did them for the puzzles in my collection. If you have any additional puzzles that I don't have, feel free to send them to me and I will do the measuring for you

If the year the puzzle was made is known it is listed. These are only listed where I have proof, i.e. instruction sheets.

If any of the dates are incorrect, or a name is not right, please send a pm and I will update them.

If you cannot see the photos, they are here

My scale is a digital one like they use in the grocery stores to weigh your meat, and the calipers are manual type made by Mitutoyo from Japan. I'm not perfect, so some of this could be off by a bit.

I'll start with my worlds:

top row:
M&S kball 98 g, 65.5 mm
DBall ancient 62 g 71 mm
DBall modern 62 g 71 mm
WWF Masterball: 142 g 77 mm
Hungarian equator 178 g 74.5 mm

second row:
KBall 142 g 77.25 mm
Rubik's World circa 1982 132 g 76 mm
Crazee world 130 g 77 mm
KBall 100 g 66 mm
Rubik's world circa 2006 120 g 66 mm

bottom row:
Rubik's Earth circa 2007 118 g 67 mm
KBall Boxed with box weight is 232g unmeasured
Crazee world with box weight is 208 g unmeasured
4 in 1 earth 188g 93 mm

ooh, like 12 worlds, you are a great collecter, you own many puzzles, hoping to see more =D

Is there any sort of spherical skewb? I only see 2x2x2, 3x3x3, masterball, and whatever the top-right one is called.

On topic: Perhaps this could be incorporated into the database eventually?

Give me time. I still have boxes and boxes to go through. these are just from my book shelf.
Dave can take what he wants from this. That's why I decided to start a new thread. I'll add more as I go. Later today will be heads and cans.

Here are the Warner Brother's set of puzzles. All of them have this written on them somewhere: Puzzle Headz Ltd. Worldwide pattent and applications. Meffert's original price must have been around $16 based on Disney puzzles he is currently selling.

Your Measuring and weighing fast ^^

Might I reccomend, put it all in 1 post, and then do like Section them so people can search easier just do like 0.0.1=Globes, 0.0.2=Heads ect

These have this written on it some where: Imported Exclusively for Kellogg Canada Inc.by Sasco. Inc. Rubik's ® Made in China They were given away with Kellogg's cereal. Darth Maul says ©Lucas. He was purchased from Rubiks.com for $9.99.


All measurements are from the top of the head to the bottom.

No offence, but theres no way you can do these any faster, how do you measure and weigh them sooo fast?

I'm going as fast as I can Cans, Sanrio, Chinese made puzzles, and other's coming in a minute.
I weighed all of them last week. Forgot to measure them so I did it this morning and then took Wayne's advice and went out on the balcony for new photos as it's a bit overcast right now. Seems to be working. Thanks!

And even though I can touch type at around 90wpm, accuracy slows me down. Numbers too. Patience grasshopper. It's coming.

I'm not sayying anything bad, its just too fast to read it in time before the next one is up =P, slow down a bit, I know you have a lot of puzzles, but don't think you need to get them all on here today

90?!?!
Wow...
I'm at about 20, but I just switched to Dvorak.
&&& keep up the good work!

There are no markings on these apart from the obvious. The puzzles that have an angular slide to them also have a hollow middle with a removable cap so you can use them for storage. This makes them perfect for holding those old Gilbert puzzles of mine. The cans with a horizontal/vertical slide are not hollow, but can be disassembled by using screws and a good tug. The Meffert's can is a 2x2 and if I remember correctly, when he sold it, it was advertised as a KBall mechanism. All of these are measured from top to bottom.

Hey Roxanne, always wondered, what do you do if Katherine(I think thats your daughters name, correct me if I'm wrong) Scrambles a puzzle that you can't solve? You can't possibly know how to solve everysingle one of your puzzles

Those hamster cubes are soo cute XD

Most of them I can solve. I won't tell you the one I can't it's way to embarrassing I give them to Marco. But I photograph them solved first.

Now quit bothering me. I still have a few sets to go then I want to take out a box, weigh and measure the puzzles and return it to the cabinet before my husband and daughter get home!

hmm, am I bothering you with this post....... Well I'll stop bothering you, Good luck on finishing all the puzzles =D


EDIT:don't answer this til your done, but the puzzles you can't solve, if you can solve a 2x2,3x3,4x4,5x5, well then any other puzzle wouldn't be embarrising because they aren't just simple puzzles, those and maybe magics and the only really simple ones ^^ cause you pretty much solve all 4 the same way


PS:I can't even solve a 4x4 so don't put yourself down for not being able to solve the puzzles you can't, don't be embarresed

Is the blue brain from "Abby ... something"?

Nope, purchased from Meffert's around the same time as the Warner brother's heads.

It was actually a joke from Young Frankenstein. Igor comes back with a brain, not from a famous scientist, but from Abby ... something ... Abby Normal.

sorry, that one went over my head, Don't know Young Frankenstein.

This is My daughter's collection of Rainbow colored cubes.

#1 probably Anakin/Darth Vader
#2 Young & Old Obi-Wan Kenobi
#3 Count Dooku/Palpatine, I think. Was this released around Episode II?
#4 Darth Maul

#1 C3PO/R2D2
#2 Possibly Padme/Amidala combo.
#3 Boba Fett/Stormtrooper.



I think "Black Rubik's magic" is possibly a fake -- It appears to look just like Dealextreme's 12-panel as far as I can see it, which is neither priced to be real nor produced in the quality to be real. TTBOMK there are no genuine Master Magics in black with that logo (of course, I may have just missed one).

I'll check it again, but I can say it's not from Deal Extreme. I've never bought anything from them.

Roxanne,

thank you! It's a pleasure looking at the pictures. I like to see how others categorize and I like group pictures of those categories. Sometimes they tell me something about the puzzles that I wouldn't have known otherwise.

For example I never knew that the other Star Wars puzzles are so much smaller compared to Darth Maul. Up until now I didn't know they came with Kellogg's boxes.

And how come there's a difference in cubie-sizes (yeah, I know they're not really "cubies", but I didn't know what else to call them ) between the silver and the golden bump cube?

Celia

Celia,
I never noticed the size difference until you pointed them out. Honest answer is I don't know. Maybe Heidetoshi can answer for us. I bought the one from him obviously, and the other from a Japanese department store here in town so I am very very sure it isn't a fake. (and if it is I want my money back!)

Every face of the Mirror blocks have different sized cubies (thus the definition of bump cubes), the silver and gold are probably just shown facing in different directions, making the visible faces slightly different.

Oh, he he, yes, that's it. Thank you for clearing that up!

Celia

No, it's not what you were thinking. All of these balls have a skewb mechanism. The Meffert's challenges are opposites of each other. to read the writing on the balls they are this way. The other side has writing and it is also opposite.
