7-cube 7-cube In geometry, a 7-cube is a seven-dimensional hypercube with 128 vertices, 448 edges, 672 square faces, 560 cubic cells, 280 tesseract 4-faces, 84 penteract 5-faces, and 14 hexeract 6-faces. It can be named by its Schläfli symbol {4,3}, being composed of 3 6-cubes around each 5-face. It can be called a hepteract, a portmanteau of tesseract (the "4-cube") and "hepta" for seven (dimensions) in Greek. It can also be called a regular tetradeca-7-tope or tetradecaexon, being a 7 dimensional polytope constructed from 14 regular facets. It is a part of an infinite family of polytopes, called hypercubes. The dual
Rubik's Cube into it to form the assembled puzzle. Each of the six centre pieces pivots on a screw (fastener) held by the centre piece, a "3D cross". A spring between each screw head and its corresponding piece tensions the piece inward, so that collectively, the whole assembly remains compact, but can still be easily manipulated. The screw can be tightened or loosened to change the "feel" of the Cube. Newer official Rubik's brand cubes have rivets instead of screws and cannot be adjusted. The Cube can be taken apart without much difficulty, typically by rotating the top layer by 45° and
