This is a recently re-issued version of the Megaminx, using 6 colors instead of 12. This puzzle is available at Spielkiste The original Meffert Megaminx, however, used 12 colors, and the same goes for a slightly different hungarian version called Supernova. Christoph Bandelow still has a few of the latter for sale. >The result was a complete MEGAMINX, except that it appeared that two >little triangular stickers, each on the border of the southern cap, >had been exchanged. This indeed is caused by the fact that in this version of the puzzle there exist 15 (not 10) pairs of edges that are alike. Thus solving the puzzle is somewhat similar to solving Alexander's Star and Impossiball at the same time! ____________________________________ Philip Knudsen Recording Artist Vendersgade 15, 3th DK - 1363 Copenhagen K Denmark Phone : +45 3393 2787 E-mail : philipknudsen@hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Jan 1998 14:08:10 -0500
