Floppy Cube turning - i.e. an edge piece may only twist if there is at least one corner piece adjacent to it. The mass-produced version does not feature this mechanism, which allows edge pieces to twist "on their own" - causing the puzzle to be considerably easier. The four edge pieces now have 4 orientations each on the Super Floppy Cube (compared to the Floppy Cube's 2); therefore, the edges can now be orientated in 4 different ways. However, the edges still cannot be permutated. There are now 12 different locations that the four corner pieces could be located in (up from
Bateson's cube Bateson's cube Bateson's cube is a model of the cost–benefit analysis for animal research developed by Professor Patrick Bateson, president of the Zoological Society of London. Bateson's cube evaluates proposed research through three criteria: Bateson suggested that research that does not meet these requirements should not be approved or performed, in accordance with the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986. It is not intended as a formal model for optimal trade-offs, but rather a tool for making judicial decisions, since the three axes are not in a common currency. The third criterion also does not necessarily have to be medical benefit,
