Hello, puzzlers!
After a lot of work and deciding, I have come up with a complete? table of 3x3 mods and their combinations.
Notice the ?. If I am forgetting any, PLEASE mention.
First, I will say what I am not including. If I am not including something, that means that either it is too rare/ not a *common* mod, or it is something with a TON of possibilities (AKA sticker mods).
So here is what will not be in the list:
Sticker mods (this includes turning a slice, and then restickering)
Siamese/ fused
Unique/ irregular/ not common
Mini/ large
Gears
Mixup
Bandaged
Hybrids
Void/ brilicube
Weird extensions
Circle/ crazy
Restricted turning (slice turn only, 180 degrees on one axis, etc.)
Babyface
Rhombic Dodecahedron
Borg
Wall cube types (different layers have different types of pieces. Ex.
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=23952)
Bicone
Barrel
Now here is the list of possible mods.
Normal 3x3
Fisher
Windmill
Cuboctahedron
Hexagonal Dipyramid
Axis (standard)
Half Truncated
Tetrahedron
Octahedron
Ghost
Sphere
If all of them are considered equal, and you can have 2 mods per cube, that means there are 121 possible combinations.
However, they are not all equal. For example, if they were all equal, then you could have a Tetrahedron Cuboctahedron. This is not possible.
So I have divided them up into 2 types- shape, and pieces.
So here is that list again, divided into sub catagories (Note that I have divided normal 3x3 into 3x3 and Hexahedron)
Shape:
Hexahedron
Cuboctahedron
Hexagonal Dipyramid
Half Truncated
Tetrahedron
Octahedron
Sphere
Piece:
Normal 3x3
Fisher
Windmill
Axis (Standard)
Ghost
Now, you can only choose one from each category. That means there is a total of 35 possible combinations.
I will now list them all. The format will be SHAPE - PIECE. If a combination has a common other name, it will look like this SHAPE - PIECE (NAME)
Hexahedron - Normal 3x3 (3x3 Rubik's cube)
Hexahedron - Fisher (Fisher cube)
Hexahedron - Windmill (Windmill cube)
