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
Snub cube "snub cube", one of the Archimedean solids. It has 24 vertices and 60 edges, and is an Archimedean graph. Snub cube In geometry, the snub cube, or snub cuboctahedron, is an Archimedean solid with 38 faces: 6 squares and 32 equilateral triangles. It has 60 edges and 24 vertices. It is a chiral polyhedron, that is, it has two distinct forms, which are mirror images (or "enantiomorphs") of each other. The union of both forms is a compound of two snub cubes, and the convex hull of both sets of vertices is a truncated cuboctahedron. Kepler first named it in
