message: Think we can get rid of the cleanup notice now?  There doesn't seem to be any discussion here, so it's not evident what we should be cleaning up - but quite a bit has changed since September.

How do you pronounce "282,870,942,277,741,856,536,180,333,107,150,328,293,127,731,985,672,134,721,536,000,000,000,000,000"? 217.209.222.101 23:52, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Now for a real challenge, try pronouncing the permutations for the 6×6×6 or 7×7×7 puzzles. I would guess that googol would appear in there somewhere, since both have billions of googols of possibilities. Hellbus (talk) 01:45, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

message: is there parity error like in rubik's revenge? if there is, i think we should mention on the article, like rubik's revenge. Ragnaroknike (talk) 10:38, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you group edges and centers together and then solve it like a 3x3x3, there's no chance of odd parity. The centers, middle edges and the corners make up a 3x3x3 cube, so if the surrounding pieces match up with them, there's no chance of a parity error like the Revenge, unless the cube has been tampered with. I've added this information to the article. Hellbus (talk) 05:17, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Which 5x5x5 cube is better - Rubik's or Eastsheen?
I can already solve both the 3x3x3 and the 4x4x4, so now I'd like to get the 5x5x5.
Well I don't know which one to buy - the Rubik's or the Eastsheen? Which one is 'better'?
My 3x3x3 is Rubik's and my 4x4x4 is Eastsheen. After Eastsheen the Rubik's feels really weird and kinda soft... But i don't know if it's a bad thing. And after Rubik's the Eastsheen feels kinda hard (to touch) and weird as well...
So now it's the 5x5x5 - which one should i get?
I'm not into speedsolving, just casual solving. (Well my 3x3x3 average is about 2 minutes and my 4x4x4 is about 10 minutes and i'm happy like that)
So which one should i get in 5x5x5 - Rubik's or Eastsheen? --Topk (talk) 15:21, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Most people will recommand Eastsheen version, since it last longer than the rubik's... mine is rubik's, and sometimes when u turn, the center piece will move up and down and one time it is almost going to pop out... -Ragnaroknike (talk) 01:37, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I'll recommend the Eastsheen cube as well. It turns much more easily than the Rubik's brand cube. I can turn inner layers on the cube just by pushing on them. On the Rubik's brand cube, I'd have to turn two layers and then turn the outer one back to where it was to accomplish the same task. Hellbus (talk) 05:12, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, now that I have a V-Cube 5 I recommend it over either of the other versions. It just has a better feel, and it's probably more durable too. Hellbus (talk) 02:36, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Some more information on the Eastsheen version would be handy. Other than the internal mechanism, what differentiates the Eastsheen from the other 5x5x5 variants? --Joe Sewell (talk) 16:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's the smallest of the three versions made and it uses purple instead of orange stickers on that side. It's fairly well made, perhaps a bit too easy to turn. Hellbus (talk) 16:48, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone has pictures or referable information of mechanisms of those cubes? --Artman40 (talk) 20:22, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If I remember right, the Meffert's version has the same mechanism as the official cube. Cube4You sells the Eastsheen version of the cube. Hellbus (talk) 22:33, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But how is the mechanism altered to provide smoother turning and higher durability? --Artman40 (talk) 12:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If you're referring to the Meffert's cube, I don't know. If you're referring to the Cube4You/Eastsheen cube, it uses an entirely different mechanism as can be seen in the dismantled cube pictures. Hellbus (talk) 16:42, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
