I have a feeling one of my students may have lifted the Cube4U 3x3x5.  Whatever the case, I can&#8217;t find it and&#8230;oh right, my birthday is coming!  My mother sent me a few bucks and she originally wanted to get me my new cube of choice for Christmas.  Therefore, the cash is going to a new cube order &#8211; an expensive one at that!  So, I am replacing my 3x3x5 with a 3x3x7!  I&#8217;m looking forward to this and hope it&#8217;s as good as the 3x3x5.  I found it to be a very fun cube; it&#8217;s not very challenging but enjoyable to solve.  <\/p>\n<p>However, that cube doesn&#8217;t cost very much and I <i>did<\/i> mention this was an expensive purchase.  Well, after a long wait, I&#8217;ll be adding an MF8 Gigaminx to my collection!  This is a 5&#215;5 version of the<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/?p=342\">Megaminx I got last March<\/a>.  I&#8217;m pretty psyched to try such a behemoth of a cube&#8230;and of course, my eyes have already wandered to the 7 and 9 layer versions (Teraminx &#038; Petaminx) however, while the former is somewhat manageable financially, the latter is an absurd $230 or so.  I think my wife would have a hard time with that.  Especially when the PS4 is likely to come out this year.  I digress.  I won&#8217;t get these cubes before my birthday (Sunday) but I can&#8217;t wait to test them out.  Stickering the Gigaminx isn&#8217;t high on my excitement list&#8230;but it has to be done.  Happy birthday to me!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My birthday approaches and somehow my 3x3x5 is missing.
