Variations
More complex variations of the Megaminx have been made, including the Gigaminx, Teraminx and Petaminx. These are 5-, 7-, and 9-layer versions of the Megaminx. A variant with only the corners (equivalent to the Impossiball) has also been made, called the Kilominx. Gigaminx, Teraminx and the Kilominx are mass produced, although the Mèffert version of the Kilominx is instead called the Flowerminx due to the shape that appears on each face. It uses a modified version of the Pyraminx Crystal mechanism.
Another variant is the Holey Megaminx, which has no center pieces, like the Void Cube. It is being produced by Mèffert as of July 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word variations:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
