A 4x4x4 with a hole that allows a reduced set of pieces to move during a slice turn.

This puzzle is the result of a first half-failed attempt to build the 4x4x4 Mixup Revenge.
The 4x4x4 Mixup Revenge has 2 slice layers on each axis that all allow for mixup turns in 30° increments. There are 12 pieces to each slice layer (4 edges and 8 centers), allowing for centers to mixup with centers, and centers to mixup with edges. This concept can be seen as a sibling to the Maybe cube. Please refer to the separate entry. Similarly to the maybe cube, the intersecting slice layers don’t intersect at 90°. They instead intersect at 86.16°. For this reason, the puzzle needs to have some level of fudging to function.
The first version the inventor attempted to solve by using non-circular paths for the slice layers (something similar to this puzzle). It turned well like a 2x2x2, but the slice layers were very difficult to turn. While this version ‘technically’ functioned, it wasn’t playable. The inventor remedied this by removing a center piece to make it a moving hole puzzle, and thus the Moving Hole 4x4x4 Mixup Revenge puzzle was born.
The inventor's second attempt can be found in the museum under the name "4x4x4 Mixup Revenge"
Made by a forum member, known under the name "cubonkers112".
Edge length: 65 mm
