Diamond Style Puzzle

À propos

The Diamond Style Puzzler is a variant of the Rubik's Cube. It has the same mechanism but a different outward shape, namely approximately that of a Rhombicuboctahedron. This is the ball-like shape that arises when all 20 moving pieces of the cube are shaved down so that each piece is flat and has only one facelet. Thus the corners pieces have become triangular, and the edge pieces have become square (or actually rectangular) similar to the shaved edges on the Octagon/Barrel. The puzzle has a simple colour scheme where the three layers each have a single colour - the middle layer is orange, the top and bottom layers are yellow and green. There is another puzzle in my collection which is equivalent. It is a Rubik's cube in which each layer is made from a different colour plastic (white, black, and grey) and does not have stickers. It was made by mixing the pieces of three types of Rubik's Cube. It was never produced commercially.
