Two 4x4x4 connected with a disk which allows to exchange pieces between the puzzles.
After 4Cubes this is the second collaboration between Oskar van Deventer and Tony Fisher. The puzzle even follows its predecessors concept.
The idea of this version was Oskar’s, inspired by Tony’s idea for 4Cubes. The design was made by Oskar. The sponsoring was made by Tony. There was one failed prototype before this collaboration was successfully finished.
All moves on both 4x4x4s are possible except the four slices which would cut through the disk. And additional move allows to exchange the halves of both parts. This makes up for a total number of four different types of turns.
Tony chose to use 12 colors to sticker the puzzle. One cube has traditional colouring and the other has the less common colors like purple etc.
