Professor's Cube the Eastsheen 5×5×5 and the V-Cube 5 are designed with different mechanisms in an attempt to remedy the fragility of the original design. There are 98 pieces on the exterior of the cube: 8 corners, 36 edges, and 54 centers (48 movable, 6 fixed). Any permutation of the corners is possible, including odd permutations, giving 8! possible arrangements. Seven of the corners can be independently rotated, and the orientation of the eighth depends on the other seven, giving 3 (or 2,187) combinations. There are 54 centers. Six of these (the center square of each face) are fixed in position. The
Gear Cube rows and as well as 180° turns on four rows. Gear Cube Ultimate: This cube is built exactly like the Gear Cube Extreme with only eight gears. The only difference is that it added Tony Fisher style stickers to the four inner pieces on each side, making it one step more difficult to correctly orient the six sides. A common issue while solving this cube is having the entire puzzle complete except for the newly added stickers being mismatched with different sides. Even Less Gears: The only 3x3 type of Gear Cube with a total of four gears. It takes
