Tartan Cube 3x3x3

Click a thumbnail to see its larger version and description.
A brilliant design, filled with symmetries, some of which only become apparent after you scramble it.

Dan and Jim came up with the original Tartan design on a posting to cube-lovers at M.I.T. back in 1981. It was their task to use only 4 colours to make a supergroup cube.

It's interesting to notice that you can figure out what the colour patters on the three unseen sides will be by just examining the three visible sides.

Shown here is version remade by Mark Longridge. It matches the original design by Dan Hoey and Jim Saxe.
