They are fantastic additions to my puzzle collection and provide a reasonable challenge.  I have done both for time but don&#8217;t have an official time for the Windmill Cube yet.  It&#8217;s like 2:30 or so.  However, I <b>did<\/b> go for a Megaminx time run twice.  The first was better than the second, but both hovered around the 8-minute mark.  I&#8217;ve updated both my <a href=\"\/blog\/cubelog\/?page_id=8\">Best Times Page<\/a> and my <a href=\"\/blog\/cubelog\/?page_id=40\">Milestones Page<\/a>.  I&#8217;ll say&#8230;while I&#8217;ll never be good enough to even take part in competitions, I&#8217;ve come a long way since first solving a cube 15 months ago.  <\/p>\n<p>Next up for the collection?  I made a <a href=\"https:\/\/slateman.net\/blog\/?p=229\">To-Buy List<\/a> but I&#8217;m leaning towards a Gigaminx.  They&#8217;re expensive though.  I&#8217;ve seen the larger ShengShou cubes and I&#8217;ll have to say they look solid.  I never use my V-Cube 6 any more because it&#8217;s so annoying.  The 8&#215;8 and larger will have to be purchased&#8230;but we&#8217;re talking big bucks.  However, I&#8217;m thinking a Gigaminx might be fun.  Anyways&#8230;it&#8217;ll all have to wait for now.  Oh&#8230;and I seem to have lost my 2&#215;2.  I&#8217;m not happy about that.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past month I&#8217;ve been thoroughly enjoying my Megaminx and Windmill Cube.
