Dino Cube
a.k.a. Dinosaur Cube
Described in patent of J. Holloway 2000,
first manufactured
in the mid 1990's,
left: custom made from a
Rainbow Cube
mechanism by D. Calvo 2007,
middle two: sold by SMAZ 2011,
right: sold by Mefferts 2011.
(all are plastic, left 2.3 inches, others 2.2 inches,
left three: yellow opposite orange, pink opposite red, blue opposite white
right: yellow opposite white, blue opposite green, red opposite orange)
Each corner can twist.
Below are photos of the other three sides and of the puzzle mixed up:
The Dino Cube is one of the most easy (but fun) Rubik's type puzzles.
Start by solving a corner and then do adjacent corners, working your way around to the opposite corner.
It is not necessary to memorize move sequences.
Three-deep reasoning may be needed,
like "to rotate this triangle into place,
I need to first rotate this corner so it doesn't get messed up (and then rotate it back afterwards),
and before doing that I should rotate this other corner".
