Can't edit my previous post.

This is the video-game I was referring to:

As for the sudoku Rubik's cube, the numbers' orientations would be clues, which although not missing in the standard color version, would require some mental gymnastics and having to look up the orientations of the side center squares.

Just remembered that I am in debt to Serge with some photos related to this topic... I bought some toys long ago (the penta-, the 5x and 4x cubes, also the small 2x2x2, which is really cute!), following some discussion on this thread, which were added to my collection...

Up to now, the most difficult to solve was the small one that you see on top of the 4x4x4, that with some text ans images. It is produced and distributed as advertising by the [URL="http://bluechips.co.th/"]company I work for[/URL], (and if you clicked it and you are here already, the you can watch the video with the cube too, I am somewhere inside see who spots me :razz:), and it has some images with the company and two faces with some text. The point is that there are some white squares (the images were specially selected) and you must not only solve the faces, like for a normal 3x3x3 cube, but you must be careful that the centers are properly oriented, and be careful where you place the white squares, if you permute them, then you will not be able to finish the last layer and face.

HINT: He's not one shown doing lots of intricate work; but he's also not just standing in front of people pointing and giving orders.

Haha, you got me fooled, I had to watch it again to see what was on the wall at that time. :redface: We call those paintings the "penis head paintings" (look carefully and close and you will understand why, the hair of the guy is supposed to be lotus flowers or buds, or something, but they really look like what I said before), we have few of them around the factory (not the same picture, they all have different colors, faces, positions, like front, profile, etc), they are quite famous, done by a famous painter, and they are originals, which means that they are expensive too. People are making jokes about what was in the head of the management (except maybe beside a of a million little penises, hehe) when they put those pictures on display like that, exposed to direct sun and idiots who could vandalize them... But that is another discussion..

OK, I'll stick my neck out: 3:05, perhaps?
That guy looks like he's an expert, anyway...

LaurV 2018-05-21 07:23

That guy is indeed an expert, he is Italian, and he is not us...

When you come to Thailand we will reveal our magnificent face to you, around a bottle of beer (or juice, if you are anti-alcohol) hehe, which we can provide from the fridge - we have no idea who puts things periodically in our fridge, it may be the wife, but whoever it is, he/she is doing a good job ...
