Zygmunt's Cube by OSKAR

Hi Twisty Puzzles fans,

Zygmunt's Cube is based on an idea by Zygmunt Kurczewski. Zygmunt suggested a 2x2x2 cube with an additional 12 edge pairs, each of which could rotate by 180 degrees. Oskar modified Zygmunt's idea to make it look like a 4x4x4 cube, using the same cutting trick that he used for Oh Cube. Experts may recognize that this puzzle could be considered a bandaged version of Mike Armbrust's Rubik's 4x4x4 with a partial twist, which you can buy at Mike's Shapeways Shop.

Watch the YouTube video.
Buy the puzzle at my Shapeways Shop.

Enjoy!

This was on Shapeways before if I remember correctly - is this just the first time you prototyped it?

Very cool puzzle. I love how the overlapping can create so many wonderful puzzles.

Most of his puzzles are on shapeways before he shows them.
This is really cool Oskar.

A bandaged Rubik's 4x4x4 with a partial twist ? A true but frightening name!
"Zygmunt's Cube" is better.
