The Skewb Ultimate, originally marketed as the Pyraminx Ball, is a twelve-sided puzzle derivation of the Skewb, produced by German toy-maker Uwe Mèffert. Most versions of this puzzle are sold with six different colors of stickers attached, with opposite sides of the puzzle having the same color; however, some early versions of the puzzle have ...
At first glance, the Helicopter Cube may seem like a combination of the 2x2x2 and the Skewb, but it actually cuts differently, and twists around cube edges rather than cube faces. The purpose of the puzzle is to scramble the colors, and then restore them back to their original state of a single color per face.

[1] Often, such licenses are enforced by implementing in the software a product activation or digital rights management (DRM) mechanism, [2] seeking to prevent unauthorized use of the software by issuing a code sequence that must be entered into the application when prompted or stored in its ...
Two-look PLL solves the corners first, followed by the edges, and requires learning just six algorithms of the full PLL set. The most common subset uses the A-perm and E-perm to solve corners (as these algorithms only permute the corners), then the U-perm (in clockwise and counter-clockwise variants), H-perm and Z-perm for edges.
A crackme is a small computer program designed to test a programmer's reverse engineering skills. [1] Crackmes are made as a legal way to crack software, since no intellectual property is being infringed.
In the early 1970s, Mèffert was interested in whether pyramids, cubes and other shapes might influence one's health and bio-energy flows. [2] Mèffert constructed balsa wood polyhedra and found the gentle stroking of the apexes of the various shapes had a gentle massaging and stimulating influence and instilled a sense of peace, relaxation, and calm.
