The 'Petaminx' is Like a Rubik's Cube on Steroids

There are Rubik’s cubes, and there are Rubik’s cubes on crack, like this ‘Petaminx’ puzzle. It’s a dodecahedral version of the classic Rubik’s cube, assembled by Jason Smith of PuzzleSmith.com, who used a design by Andrew Cormier. There are 975 individual parts, with 101 stickers on each face. That’s a grand total of 1,212 stickers.

The ‘Petaminx’ was completely handmade. In case you’re wondering how long it takes to build and assemble a dodecahedron Rubik’s cube from scratch, Smith has posted his itemized labor for the project below. See the behemoth in action above.

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. (ohgizmo)
