Phil - Clever topic & nice twist. This is a clean, sharp image. I like it! With no shadows, it gives it a bit of a surreal look. It's just floating out there in white space. -- Jeannie (jburly)

Yes, my original plan was to have a middle-edge square out-of-place (rather than an absolute centre piece), but though I could do the cube by heart when I was younger, I had to follow the instructions to complete it this time around, and try as I might I couldn't get the rest of the pices to fall into place how I wanted, so I had to settle for a corner piece (and I didn't want to cheat by removing the labels).
This cube actually has 2 pieces incorrect - but the other corner piece isn't visible. Other than that, it's complete.

Aam - d'oh! How could you miss it? :)

Very interesting, Phil. Clever idea between your title and subject gimmick.

Phil, I've got a question for you. If I had done this, I'd have made the odd cubie be the center one. However, the way I normally solve the cube, I never have the two remaining cubies on opposite corners, so positioning one in this position would reveal the other out of place cubie. It is possible, however, to do (of course, you could also take apart the cube, but that would be cheating). So that makes me wonder if your composition regarding placement of the odd cubie was your original intent or whether you were possibly constrained by how you can manipulate the cube. I note that the current design has only one parallelogram out of place, whereas the other has three out of place, so visually, this is simpler. -- Victor

Really simple, like it, Phil --- aam1234
