The Making of The Petaminx - Rubik's Cube Cubed and Made by Insane People
mouser:
Dear lord.. this is real. Personally i think this planet is not good enough to deserve the people who have what it takes to create stuff like this.
Just to *assemble* it before you can play with it:
The puzzle has 975 individual parts.
Each face has 101 stickers, making a total of 1212 stickers.
20 hours on masters and molds.
12 hours casting parts.
30 hours cleaning up parts and sanding (!!)
7 hours assembling all 975 parts
6 hours stickering.

Well, at least I don't have to feel bad anymore when I can't solve one of those.

We should be grateful Andrew Cormier confines such genius to the creation of puzzles.
Imagine what else a mind like that would be capable of building if it ever got pissed off about something.
