Helicopter Cube a 6-member cycle, often referred to as its "orbit". Face center pieces in different orbits cannot be interchanged using only 180° twists. However, jumbling moves are able to permute face center pieces between different orbits, thus leaving the puzzle in a state that cannot be solved by 180° twists alone. Assume that Helicopter Cube is scrambled without jumbling moves (i.e. mixed with only 180 degree twists). Any permutation of the corners is possible, including odd permutations. Seven of the corners can be independently rotated, and the orientation of the eighth depends on the other seven, giving 8!×3 combinations. There are
Floppy Cube Floppy Cube The Floppy Cube is a cuboidal twisty puzzle in the style of the Rubik's Cube. It was originally invented by Katsuhiko Okamoto and mass-produced by Gentosha Toys, although several other companies have since mass-produced it as well. The Floppy Cube is essentially a 1x3x3 Rubik's Cube: it is made up of 9 identical cubic pieces arranged into a 1x3x3 cuboid. The puzzle consists of 4 corner pieces, 4 edge pieces and 1 centre piece. Each corner piece has four colours each, each edge piece has three colours each, while the centre piece has two colours (on the opposite
