Hi everyone, welcome to our first weekly discussion thread. Do you have any PBs recently? Did you attend any comps? Any exciting new puzzles? Or just a general, what do you have planned for the week? Anything is welcome here!

    I just looked it up. It’s an intense looking puzzle! What puzzles did you have before this that have similar solving techniques?

      I honestly can’t really come up with something from the same immediate line of puzzles that this one’s from (don’t own them), but (spoilered for those who want to solve it themselves):

      Methodology

      Solving the intersection of the corner cuts before solving the rest of the puzzle reminded me a little of the way I solved the corners of the Polaris Cube after solving the rest of the puzzle.

      That is to say, it was a lot of pairing and less about actually coming up with algorithms, so I found it pretty easy and sort of mind-numbing after I solved it the first time around.
