I'm Philip Knudsen, and i live in Copenhagen, Denmark. Last year i found out about this list, and read most of the old messages. The past few months i have subscribed to the list using a free email account at my library. Now for my 1st message: Since the talk is of Fisher's Skewb variants (which sound very interesting indeed), i would like to mention to those whom it might interest, that Greg Stevens, Seattle, is making various types of cube variants. I have one of his catalogues, and have also received from him an "Off Center Cube". His designs, about 12 different, seem to be in the following categories: 1) Bandaged Cubes, made from standard 3x3x3 2) Shape modifications, made from standard 3x3x3 3) 1) and 2) combined 4) Bandaged Square-1 5) Bandaged 4x4x4 (where did he get the raw material???) 6) Shape variations of Pyraminx, i.e. "Pyraminx Star" The "Off Center-Cube" is a 3. It is well made, and very tough to solve. In fact i still need to find out how to turn the center pieces, which by the way are disguised as edge pieces. Last but not least - Greg also is a very reliable and decent person. If anyone's interested i shall forward his postal address to the list. --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------
