This new creation is less complicated, from the mathematical standpoint, than the original cube, and there are no mathematic algorithms involved in any of it’s solutions, but this doesn’t mean that it doesn’t represent any challenge. By the looks of it, and by what the demonstration video shows, it’s evident that it’s quite easy to spend a lot of time to solve this new puzzle.
