I am looking for Rubik's cube type magic polyhedra. The only one
I can find is the 3x3x3 cube--all the others (from the Golden Age of
Polyhedra back in the early 1980's) seem to be off the market. Does
anybody know where I can get (or would anybody like to sell) some of the
others? I seem to recall a magic tetrahedron called Pyraminx, a cube which
turns along non-orthogonal lines called Squewb, a Magic Dodecahedron, a
4x4x4 cube, etc.
Please e-mail replies. Thanks.
Objpuzzle for rec.puzzles: consider a dictionary in which all words
are alphabetized according to their alpha-sorted letter order (thus the
word banana is spelled "aaabnn" for the purpose of alphabetization). What is
the last word in this dictionary?
