Petaminx Dodecahedral puzzle will drive you insane |
You know those geniuses that can solve a Rubiks cube in like 20 seconds? This puzzle would drive even them insane. The Petaminx is a handmade puzzle by puzzle maker Jason Smith. It sort of resembles the Rubik’s cube.
It just happens to have twice as many sides and many more pieces to align. In all there are 975 parts and 1,212 stickers. It took mere 75 hours to build and that included the molding process and the placing each of those stickers by hand. Check out a video of this amazing puzzle below.
I’d be interested to see just how many Rubiks Cube geeks could actually solve this thing.

wheres the video?!?!
anonymous,
Only one has ever been made and as far as I know it’s impossible to solve within the time of a youtube video
I could solve it if I got one, but it would take multiple hours
looks like this one:

made by drewseph and distributed for free has gotten into the hands hands of someone who makes money out of a free file.

absolutely crazy!
well.. to answer the author’s question, pretty much anyone that can solve an ordinary 5×5x5 cube could solve this.
solve time: longer than a 9×9x9
complexity: equal to a 5×5x5
not that difficult. just an engineering marvel.
I can solve it
