Edges Only Cube made byDavid Calvoeoc_447.JPG
This Evil Twin is #10 fullsize (I've builtand sold 2 mini's also). It came out very
well, probably the straightest one I've built,I don't think I could do it any better.
Rubik's mini 2x2x2 cubies aren't true cubes,the edges aren't all the same length so it'sreally difficult to get a cube shape from
non-cubes. Anyway it's a very nice puzzleand I'm going to be sad to see it go, I'msure it's to a good home thoug (Mike -
