Gear Cube Cube. Three 3x3 cubes are very similar to the original: the Gear Cube Extreme, the Gear Cube Ultimate, and the Even Less Gears Cube. Gear Cube Extreme: Unlike the original Gear Cube with 12 total gears, the Gear Cube Extreme (also known as the Anisotropic Cube) has only eight gears. The top and bottom rows remain gear cogs, whereas the middle layer edge cogs have been removed. Taking away the middle layer cogs and replacing them with standard edges allows for different movement between rows. Due to the added straight edges, the cube can now make 90° turns on two
Rubik's Cube group define orientation. One choice is the following group, given by generators (the last generator is a 3 cycle on the edges): Since "C" is a normal subgroup and the intersection of "C" and "C" is the identity and their product is the whole cube group, it follows that the cube group "G" is the semi-direct product of these two groups. That is Next we can take a closer look at these two groups. The structure of "C" is since the group of rotations of each corner (resp. edge) cube is formula_30 (resp. formula_31), and in each case all but one
