Okay. Here's the scenario -- You're going on a trip. You have a plane flight, some downtime while there, etc. You have limited space for "toys", and thus can only carry three twisty/cube-type puzzles with you. Which ones do you bring with you? (whether you own them or not.) Personally, here's my list so far (from my very modest collection) - Dayan ZhanChi 3x3x3
- WitEden 3x3x9
- ? 3x3x2? WitEden 2x2x2? Not sure...
(and yes, i'm going on a business trip in a week or so, and have been thinking about this a lot.  )

First, my two favorite puzzles to solve:
Pyraminx Crystal Professor Pyraminx
And the third would probably have to be something I've never solved, like my Quirky Cube or a Masterball.

3x3 and Starminx definitely, and then either 7x7 or 2x2 depending on my mood.

I'm currently in a trip. I'm taking exactly three cubes: Zhanchi 3x3x3, and Eric Vergo's Child's Play, which consists of two 2x2x2's.

I'd take TomZ's Multi-Dodecahedron (which I still haven't successfully solved)
I'd also take Eric Vergo's Unbandaged Rhomdo (which I haven't fully figured out how to solve)
And finally I'd take Eric Vergo's Unbandaged Helicopter Cube which has some really crazy jumbling and offers a new challenge every scramble.

You should have seen the X-ray of my bag when travelling to G4G. There were some 50 puzzles in there, and all the screws made a very pretty arrangement on the screen. No questions asked though.
If I was going to a puzzle meeting I'd currently bring the Multidodecahedron, 4x4x6 and one unannounced puzzle. If I had to bring puzzles purely for my own enjoyment then I'd bring a regular 3x3x3, Dino 3x3x3 or SuperX and (again) the 4x4x6.

I will be away from my home - and the Internet - for three weeks very soon. I'll allow myself to take four twisty puzzles with me - Pentultimate (Mini from TomZ) - Crazy 3x3x3 Saturn - Bermuda Mars - 3x3x3

It must be the time for travel.
I'm off for conferences in April, June, and August. A couple of weeks worth of travel all in all. I have decided to pack a Hanayama, a packing puzzle I have not been able to solve yet (or one I haven't attempted yet), One of Eric Fuller's creations because they are just so cool, and a tray puzzle. Of course, there must be a twisty in there, and I guess it will be SmaZ's Time machine. I haven't managed to solve that yet after all this time so It might as well go with me.
Puzzles should be like the American Express card...never leave home without them.

I really shouldn't be answering this question because I don't have a variety of puzzles (just the mainly the normal ones).  But right now, I would bring my Bermuda Cube, Curvy Copter and Rubik's Rings. TomZ wrote: You should have seen the X-ray of my bag when travelling to G4G. There were some 50 puzzles in there, and all the screws made a very pretty arrangement on the screen. No questions asked though. On that note, I remembered bringing back about 20 puzzles. When it went through a scanner, they "somehow" saw it as a potential bomb. So they asked me to open it up and I just showed them it was just some puzzles. Then one of them wanted to play with them...
