I have had this terrible Megaminx in my collection since
almost the beginning of my cubing life. And in that time, I have never hated of
despised anything more. It is clearly an off brand puzzle, and whatever brand
it came from clearly spent no time trying to improve their work to make a
better product. To start, it has tiles which frankly, don’t bother me, except
for the fact that they are held onto by about one cubic millimeter of glue each
which means Trying to put a tile back on without glue is actually impossible,
and as for gluing it, there are no contact areas. Looking at the bottom of the
tile you can see two faint lines of glue that connect the top edge of it to the
corresponding piece. This is absolutely awful, because the only contact point
the tile makes with pieces are on the edge, and so regluing will be messy.
Another frustrating piece of this terrible Megaminx is the
clicking system. There are MASSIVE notches in the pieces that create a very
awful turning, very slow puzzle, with absolutely no finger tricking of any
kind. In addition to this, the mechanism is not very well mad, so pieces can
wiggle upon turning. This coupled with the abysmal corner cutting, as the puzzle
has no corners previously cut as 3x3’s do, makes for the worst moving and
solving experience I have ever had with a puzzle.
So now the simple question, what brand is this puzzle? I actually
have no idea, to tell the truth. I have looked at videos comparing brands, with
no avail. No, it isn’t a QJ, although I hear that one is a close second. I know
it is too disgusting to be a Dayan, and so I am stuck. What can I brand this
Megaminx that has wronged me so badly? I can’t honestly say.
