Idea for a special puzzle.
"Scramble the stickers of a normal 3x3 Rubiks cube".
Then scramble the sticker-scrambled Rubiks and ask for solving
a) without seeing the solved state
b) with seeing the solved state
There can be pretty sticker-scramblings like the one in the picture.
This on has 6 uni-color vertices, 2 tri-color vertices, 6 uni-color edges a=
nd 6 bicolored edges.
When you scramble the stickers at random you can ask for pretty patterns.
Kind regards
Ed

With one correction and a complement:
"Scramble the stickers of a normal 3x3 Rubiks cube".
Then scramble the sticker-scrambled Rubiks and ask for solving
a) without seeing the solved state
b) with seeing the solved state
There can be pretty sticker-scramblings like the one in the picture.
This one has 6 uni-color vertices, 2 tri-color vertices, 6 uni-color edges =
and 6 bicolored edges.
When you have scrambled the stickers at random you can ask for pretty patte=
rns by twisting.
Kind regards

Melinda...
=E2=80=9CIt reminds me of a puzzle in a newspaper I once solved. It looke=
d like a normal jigsaw puzzle that I had to cut out to solve, but once solv=

eces together and then cut out the pieces of the new puzzle and solved *tha=
t* one which turned out to be a picture of an electric jigsaw.=20

Thank you for a wonderful idea to make as family gifts... I loved this =

I see. It's sort of a combination of a jigsaw puzzle and a twisty puzzle.=
I guess you could test it on people by peeling and rearranging the sticker=
s into nice patterns.

P.S. David Vanderschel helped me figure out the problem of display of ret=
urn addresses which turned out to be a settings change in my email client (=
Thunderbird) that I think came with an update. (Thanks David!) I found a v=

on my end, not Yahoo's, and you don't need to sign your messages if you do=
n't want to. That seems like the new standard for informal email, and I'm s=
tarting to use it.
