Concept 11

Hello all.
this is a new twisty puzzle built by Eva and I.
Scott Bedard was kind enough to design it for us.
the turning is not as great as we had hoped it would be, but
it is more than tolerable. this puzzle is the first of its kind.

not the best build you've seen from us...lol

8 hex faces and 6 square faces

I figured it would be that. I was hoping 7 and 4, making 11 sides and making concept 11 make sense to me.

i LOVE this! it reminds me of the tuttminx actually. can the puzzle do jumbling moves? say for instance, could it turn in the last picture? or if only one side was up instead of all three?

and any plans to sell it? this would be nice for a lot of people i think

It's beautiful.

Thinking of how the mechanism works, seems pretty complex.

Nice work you two, and great design scott!

It's a truncated octahedron I think. This would make it closely related to the mythical face+vertex turning octahedron.

Excellent work.

Looks like a combination of Dino-Octa and Trivial Tips Octahedron with the corners truncated.

I second the Jumbling question.

This is amazing! Face- turning on 2 different face shapes.

it does not jumble... you cannot turn a hex face 60 degrees..then turn a square face

thanks for all of your nice comments

Very elegant combination of squares and hexagons.
It could easily be named as... Squexagon!

Does anyone else see the Star of David on the hexagonal faces? You could call the puzzle the Jewish Cube.

Or the Jewb!

Was that in bad taste?

Clay n Eva Creations · **Joined:** Sun Dec 14, 2008 9:17 pm

some might take it offensively ..

but i was considering the name "davidminx"

monker59 · **Joined:** Fri Jan 22, 2010 8:31 pm

Yeah, that'd probably go over better.

The Jewb . . . . what a dumb name!

Justin · **Posted:** Mon Mar 08, 2010 7:53 pm

Really interesting and clever concept. I like the mix of star patterns and 2x2s.

You could call it a 'Magenminx' http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/magen

davidminx or jewminx

First off I would like to say that i love the name Magenminx.

This is a beautiful puzzle, absolutely wonderful concept and new idea. One of my favorite puzzles of all time i would say. I also must say i did not realize that the square faces turned at first. I was already blown away at such a wonderful puzzle and then my jaw literally dropped when u turned the first square face in the video.

greeneye · **Posted:** Mon Mar 08, 2010 11:40 pm

this is such an awesome puzzle
maybe my new favorite puzzle :mrgreen:

a name i thought of was the hexatwist

ndgamer4life · **Joined:** Tue Jan 06, 2009 7:23 pm

the design was called concept 11

the name IS Davidminx

i have spoken

JasonSmith · **Posted:** Tue Mar 09, 2010 1:04 am

This is great! It's amazing it too so long to get the cube-octa version of the tuttminx!

Clay n Eva Creations · **Joined:** Sun Dec 14, 2008 9:17 pm

ok everyone is going to get closure..

when scott was designing the puzzle he asked if i had a name for it.
i told him i didnt. he said "ok then im saving it as concept 11"

ever since then, it just stuck...and its unique....so plan on keeping it...

but i do appreciate the name ideas...all of them are great...

thanks to everyone for your nice comments.

im not sure if im going to build another. if i do it will be a little bit bigger version..

so when i auction it, the winner will have a one of a kind puzzle(only on in existence!!!)
