    The thing weighs 3kg! Maybe you could build up your wrist muscles while solving this thing.

      Methinks there are some other problems slashdotters are more likely to solve which also build up your wrist muscles.

  2. Successful? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    He hasn't created a working Rubix cube. The gigantic monstrosity which requires belts on every movement layer to prevent it falling apart is not a working Rubix cube. At best, and the site openly admits this, it is a model or a prototype.

  3. Adult (fan of) LEGO by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    The author of the article calls himself an "adult fan of LEGO". Well, I'm a fan of adult LEGO!

  4. Slightly less enormous lego cube by jerkface · · Score: 5, Interesting
    I know a guy who did a slightly smaller cube based on a different design. His page includes a short video showing the cube in operation.

    More uniquely, the same guy also has what is probably the world's only complete page on lego logic circuits.
