The Creation of the Teraminx

We're back from our break. The teraminx is an absolute beast of a puzzle, consisting over 500 pieces and requiring very advanced design knowledge to create. So how was it made in the first place?

[@voievod7541]

I just binged your channel. Your videos are great, keep up the good work.

[@joeycubes68]

You should do a video about why the Siamese cube and rainbow cube were taken out of the wca.

[@Julio974]

There were actually many other events before the WCA had an official events list.

Holy carp! I never knew the history of the teraminx was so interesting! I thought some random guy was looking at a gigaminx and went: "Lets add 2 more layers!"

[@renatomaritato1300]

Hi! I love the channel! You should do a video where you explore all the currently unanswered cubing questions, and what areas of the cube research could be pushed further. I would love to see that video. Keep up the good work!

[@FastCubeMaster]

Yay you're back!

[@dclaiche]

A video on the history of diy cubes would be great.

[@4EverTrying]

I can recall when I messaged Drewseph about lowering his price of $2,000 for his hand-made termaminx to $500 by simply letting the buyer sand, wash and paint the completed casted pieces and apply the stickers themselves (since this constituted the most distribution of labor time). I forgot why he declined my proposal, but that was an interesting conversation, nevertheless. I was completely dazzled by his v2, since it was smaller and turned significantly better. But I like how the release of his video on his v1 was probably one of the main videos sparking interest with the maths of the number of positions of higher order puzzles! Good memories for sure!

[@KermisVoyager1997]

To be fair with you. I created an Examinx in 2002. The reason I didn't present it to the public was because I was very anonymous at the time and I had no idea how the public would react. I only showed it to my friends for a start. I still have the puzzle I created. And yes, it works very well. It was stickerless too so the parts were colored.

[@thefallingpi341]

they couldve done a collab or something. it would be kinda hard though for them to meet up then design it all together.

[@kot32_fake]

Happy anniversary to the creation of the teraminx.

[@frankiemagnarelli9598]

The Cubing Historian's back everyone! Time to celebrate! in all seriousness, glad you're back man. awesome video and I'm super excited for what this channel will become.

[@LSqre]

Today is the anniversary of the Teraminx. (Since he completed the cube at 11PM and it was assembled 3 hours later, so I count the finishing of the assembly when it was born.

[@guardianman1235]

Next could you do the creation of the petaminx

[@shubbbb]

I wonder when today will go down in history

[@PugCuber]

[@igortarasow]

And now mf8 are making mass produced examinx

[@tothewheel]

They've teased it, but are they actually making it yet? I'm guessing it's fallen into a design hole, like the Moyu 15x15, or new clocks.

[@aliciapearcy1450]
