Good point David... if you get the 5x5x5 now, your non-cubing friends will think you're downgrading when you get the 4x4x4.
I think the 4x4x4 is a more interesting challenge because of the lack of fixed centers. To be honest, once you've figured out the 4x4x4, there's almost nothing left to figure out about the 5x5x5. But I guess that's probably the case with all larger cubes. It seems like a valid assumption that since the number of possible states of a cube rises exponentially with size, the complexity of getting to the correct state also rises, but that's completely untrue. So with bigger cubes, it's really all about impressing people that don't know the difference. :-D On 1/26/06, David Pritts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Awesome. > > I was referring to buying a 5x5x5 or 4x4x4... so far I have one person > recommending I get the 4x4x4 first (sander) and one person saying it doesn't > matter.
