6-cube 6-cube In geometry, a 6-cube is a six-dimensional hypercube with 64 vertices, 192 edges, 240 square faces, 160 cubic cells, 60 tesseract 4-faces, and 12 5-cube 5-faces. It has Schläfli symbol {4,3}, being composed of 3 5-cubes around each 4-face. It can be called a hexeract, a portmanteau of tesseract (the "4-cube") with "hex" for six (dimensions) in Greek. It can also be called a regular dodeca-6-tope or dodecapeton, being a 6-dimensional polytope constructed from 12 regular facets. It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called hypercubes. The dual of a 6-cube can be called a 6-orthoplex,
Floppy Cube companies. The key difference between this puzzle and the Floppy Cube is that the Floppy Cube is restricted to only 180° rotations (i.e. an edge piece cannot be twisted 90°), while the Super Floppy Cube does allow edges to rotate 90°. This in turn allows the corner pieces to move to locations "above" and "below" the edge pieces and thus change the shape of the puzzle. There is also a subtle difference between the original version of the puzzle and the version mass-produced by other companies. The original puzzle has an internal mechanism which prevents an isolated edge piece from
