Hey Guys! Kenneth Here. Today I'm going to have an unboxing for you. And it's from Mefferts.com.
I'm really excited about this one. It should be two puzzles. So lets see what we got here.
Alright. Here's the first one. This is the Gear Cube invented by Oskar van Denter.. Deventer.
Oh man I just totally murdered his name.
He has a YouTube Channel and if you haven't already, go subscribe to him. He comes out
with a brand new puzzle just about every week. Completely new. So this is one of his. I have
no idea how it works.
Here we go let's see what happens when we turn it. Oh my goodness! That is so cool!
That is weird.
Okay that's cool. It moves kinda like a Rubik's Cube but these gears turn and totally change
the way it's moving. Oh my goodness I think I already scrambled it. Okay here we go.
I can't wait to try this out. So that's the Gear Cube.
Let's see what else I got here.
Alright the 2x2x4 Rubik's Tower. This is being sold in Japan I believe.
Oh look there's a picture of Mr. Erno Rubik. Professor Rubik.
Anyway you can buy one from Mefferts and I think you can also get them from ebay and
some other places like that.
I actually built one of these but it was a complete and epic fail. It sucked. So I was
going to make a video of it and everything but it turned out so bad that I was embarrassed.
So anyway.
Wow this looks nice. This looks cool. Let's see how it turns.
It's a little stiff.
It's not bad.
Yeah it's a little stiff. I think I'm going to have to lube it.
See how stiff it is? The middle layers aren't that bad but these outer layers are stiff.
OOOOOO That's cool.
So there you have it. Those are two puzzles. Should I get this back. Let's see if I can
get this back. There we go.
Two puzzles both from Mefferts and I'm really happy to have them, I can't wait to play with
them!
So It's been two days and I've had a chance to play with the puzzles and I wanted to give
a little more information about them.
First off the 2x2x4. I took mine apart so that I could lubricate it really well. When
I did that I actually chipped a piece off of the core. It was broken and I tried to
put it together in the broken state, and as soon as you would spin it around it would
crumble to pieces. I was really bummed.
But luckily for me I had an extra core from a Junior Rubik's Cube, The Jr. Cube I think
it's called, the 2x2. That core plugged right into this one. So I was really happy that
I had that. And since I lubed it, it turns much better than it did before. So yeah, I'm
a little bit on the lucky side. So that's the 2x2x4.
Let me get this one back..
There we go.
With the Gear Cube, it is such a cool puzzle. I love the way it turns. It's very cool. I
figured out how to solve it. It's not too difficult to solve. Definitely try to figure
it out yourself before you start searching youtube for a “How to Solve Video.” Which
I might make. So if I get a lot of comments saying “Make a Solve Video!” I might make
one. Let me know if you want to make one. And I guess that's it!
So thanks guys for watching! Have a great day!
