Just because men have more left-braindedness (lol thats not a word) women are good problem solvers. And I still have never met a guy who can solve a rubix cube. (with the exeption of Jeff verasano (dont know how to spell his last name), I met him since then).

BTW I KNOW THATS NOT A PETAMINX IM NOT RETARDED

and yes, megaminxes are very easy. I got one the day I was sick, solved it in under 30 minutes. And I do agree, even layer cubes are different than odd layer cubes. I can solve all of the 2×2 – 7×7 and yes. I hate even layers. And BTW on gigaminx solves, yes megaminx:rubixcube = gigaminx: high orders.

it just takes a long time.

I’m not bragging, I just think “smarterthanyoudimwad” should know that men are statistically better problem-solvers, better object-oriented thinkers, and more left-brained in general (emphasis on “in general”). You don’t know any guys who can do it? Have you checked with every single one of them? Are you sure your group of male friends is a good demographic representation of today’s male society? One of those answers will be no I think.

Also, this is a perfect example of why “reading” is superior to “skimming”. Had you “read” the article, you would know that the author’s use of the word “Petaminx” was in reference to another puzzle, to which he gave a link. Read. Don’t skim.

To the author: the Petaminx is essentially the same exact puzzle as this Gigaminx, except it has more layers and (specifically the one you linked to) is more curvy and probably more fragile. It takes a good deal more time to solve, but employs all the same techniques.

i can solve one of those.

no joke,

first off, its not called a petaminx..

its a gigaminx. and it’s not a 12 sided rubix cube, its a dododecahedron.

and, those are perfectly easy.

go to youtube, and type in gigaminx solve, and yes, if a guy (im a girl) could do that, i would be highly impressed because i havn’t even met a guy who could do a rubix cube.
