    I had a really hard time with the OLL parity, too, but I eventually figured it out and solved it, but it involved a lot of intuitive moves and single edge piece 3 cycles using commutators. But I don't really remember how I did it 😂. As for the permutation parity, to swap corners I just did a T-perm and then solved the 2 swapped double edges intuitively. It does mess up the 3x3x3 part of the solve a bit, but that's easy to fix. This algorithm is really useful, but I'd like to understand why and how it works. Either way, thanks for this!

    I’m glad you enjoy the puzzles Preston, and thank you for the review! That’s crazy to me that the store you mentioned glues directly onto the stickers! I just wanted to clarify a few points: Unfortunately, all my puzzles modeled off of a 6x6 or higher dimension puzzle need to use a stickerless base. The Meilong, Meilong V2, and Huanglong lines are the most compact/best turning puzzles and only come in stickerless 😞. The “post processed” puzzles I offer have the sanding done, but are much more expensive! I’m sure the unfinished versions are far cheaper, which is a good alternative for a tighter budget.

    I have the stickerless version of this puzzle and it catches absolutely everywhere. It's a nightmare to turn. Have you also tried the stickerless version? If so, do you find that the stickered version turns better? I had to have to waste money to buy a duplicate of the same puzzle with stickers being the only difference. But the stickerless version is so bad that I may have to do so if you think that the stickered version is indeed superior. I think I may have also already bungled the puzzle with several illegal moves. Not sure if I'll be able to get it back in a solved state with the current state that it's in. We shall see.

    Thank you for the highlight!! Apologies you had to send it back for a fix - I always appreciate your patience with my prototyping. I have made a second version of the puzzle where I truncate the inner base 5x5. I have managed to decrease the size to around 80 mm cubed. It’s really hard to notice, but the version you have is not actually cubic - it’s around 105 x 100 x 95 mm. However, since the concept of proportionality is out the window for Ghost puzzles, I decided to keep the new version cubic and optimize on a smaller size. I am building it now and will have a video up soon!

      You can configure any face on the megaminx to go from a zero to a one face. It just takes a bit of work.

    The 5x5 Crazy cube looks like an awesome puzzle, but I was bummed when I saw that they made it pillowed. All of my stickerless puzzles are flat, and being the perfectionist that I am, I wouldn't be able to stand having one (or even a few) pillowed cubes standing out like sore thumbs. So, I passed on getting this one for now.

They're a great way to pass the time on really long flights, train rides, or bus rides. Sadly, the Bermuda Megaminx series appears to no longer be in active production. I went to order one and neither Ziicube, Cubezz, Aliexpress, or The Cubicle has any black versions from that series in stock. Unless they bring the series back into production, I may NEVER be able to find even a single black puzzle from the series. THANKS for the videos, Preston.

    SuperantonioVivaldi has a video showing a method that avoids the long algorithm for the last layer edges. You basically use the same short algorithm used here to do the bottom layer, but for both layers, top,and bottom. There are 2 restrictions: it messes one layer up then fixes it, so you always have to perform it twice in each position and you can’t move the messed up layer between algorithms. One time messes things up but swaps a piece, the second time swaps another piece and fixes everything.
