V-Cube 6 to the internal mechanism, thus making the puzzle more durable. The V-Cube 6b, which has the same "pillowed" shape as the V-Cube 7, was introduced later. There are 8 corners, 48 edges and 96 centers. 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 96 centers, consisting of four sets of 24 pieces each. Within each set there are four centers of each color. Centers from one set cannot be exchanged with those from another
Gear Cube the inventor of the Pyraminx. Gear Cube The Gear Cube is a 3-D combination puzzle designed and created by Dutch puzzle maker Oskar van Deventer (based on an idea by Bram Cohen). It was initially produced by Shapeways in 2009 and known as "Caution Cube" due to the likeliness of getting fingers stuck between the gears while speedcubing. Later, in 2010, it was mass-produced by Meffert's as the "Gear Cube". Compared to the original Rubik's Cube, this cube uses a complete gear mechanism. It requires six 180° turns to complete one rotation resulting in a twisty puzzle. The design of
