Dan Hoey and Jim Saxe came up with the original Tartan 3x3x3 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.

This is a 4x4x4 version of their design. The stickers were made by Oliv�r Nagy.

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.

It is even more interesting that the Tartan-variants of the 2x2x2, 3x3x3 and 5x5x5 have been there for several year but the first sample for an 4x4x4 was presented no earlier than 2010.

Thank you to the following people for their assistance in helping collect the information on this page: Andreas Nortmann.
