Gear Cube involve either half turns or a full rotation. It has six stationary centers, each with a different color, that always stay opposite from another specific center. White is always opposite of yellow. Blue is always opposite of green. Red is always opposite of purple. Each center determines what color that side will be. The centers are exactly based on the original Rubik's Cube. They are connected by a three dimensional cross with screws and springs allowing for less tension. Many cube solvers use the same notation when completing a cube, whether they are working on the original Rubik's Cube, the
Magic cube classes was first constructed in late 2004 by Mitsutoshi Nakamura. This cube is a combination Pantriagonal magic cube and Diagonal magic cube. Therefore, all main and broken triagonals sum correctly, and it contains 3"m" planar simple magic squares. In addition, all 6 oblique squares are pandiagonal magic squares. The only such cube constructed so far is order 8. It is not known what other orders are possible. See Pantriagdiag magic cube. Minimum correct summations required = 7"m" + 6"m" ALL 3"m" planar arrays must be pandiagonal magic squares. The 6 oblique squares are always magic (usually simple magic). Several of them
