"olympic cube" - 魔術方塊

這是Mefferts在今年1/6在網站上寫的消息
跟高階方塊有關的段落在第2及3段

Puzzle News as of January 6, 2008 "FORUM" and 6x6x6 & 7x7x7 cubes.
Hi All,
We are pleased to announce that our Meffert.s Challenge Puzzle Forum
is now operational. We had several requests in particular by Steve
Gorton who volunteered to be our first moderator for a dedicated
Meffert's Puzzles Forum. Ulrich will be the administrator, the
Forum is still in Beta form so for any additions you like to
see included please contact [email protected] direct. To sign
up or visit, click on the Forum icon or link on our Flash or HP.

We are still receiving a lot of enquiries regarding
the 6x6x6 & 7x7x7 cubes. Seeing that Mr.Panayiotis Verdes
has made the announcement via his son Konstantinos that his
molds for both the 6x6x6 and 7x7x7 cubes are ready and that
these cubes would be produced in Greece this year, we decided
not to duplicate them and rather bring you some all new
exciting puzzles for 2008.
The Olympic Cubes appear to be superior in design to what
I would have made especially as far as speedcubing is
concerned see: www.olympicube.com so please contact
Mr.Panayiotis K.Verdes direct on [email protected]
to ask him when his cubes will be released and how you
may order them direct.

這段是說,mefferts網站接到一堆6x6, 7x7的詢問，
但由於Panayiotis Verdes　(OlympicCube一系列的發明人) 的兒子
Konstantinos說6x6, 7x7的模子已經完成了且今年會
在希臘製造(would be produced in Greece this year)，
所以mefferts將不會效法(製作6跟7)他們
並說他認為Olympic Cubes在製作速解用的方塊比他們做的好
所以請大家直接連絡Panayiotis K. Verdes來詢問相關的事宜

Sorry that we cannot be of more help in this regards, I
understand that many of you are concerned that these cubes
may never be released as several similar announcements were
made in the past and nothing happened. As previously mentioned
if they run into manufacturing problems I am always willing
to help, understanding that it is not easy to mass produce
a good quality puzzle at the right price. All Panayiotis
or Konstantinos have to do is ask and I will be more than
happy to make our manufacturing facility available to
produce the Olympic Cubes for them.

這段是說，mefferts對於不能對這件事幫上忙感到抱歉/遺憾，並說他知道
許多人都認為這些方塊大概永遠都不會在市面上出現因為之前都有公布一些相關的訊息
但是都音訊全無了。（這裡感覺是在抱怨）
（接下來這段口氣就更懸了，我直接用翻譯的）
"如同我之前所提及的，如果他們遇到製造上的問題，我都會願意去幫忙，
因為我了解要大量製造一個擁有正確價錢和好品值的puzzle並不容易。
Panayiotis和Konstantinos需要做的只是提出要求，我就會非常開心的空出我的生產設備
來為他們製造Olympic Cubes。"
(感覺mefferts和olympiccubes之間是不是曾發生過什麼事? 這是純粹我個人的解讀)


Happy Puzzling
Ulrich and Uwe

※ 引述《MCG (Michael Chang)》之銘言：
: 我超想要OLYMPICCUBE啦!!!!!
: 他說2008年就會量產然後銷售全世界.
: OLYMPICCUBE 的結構做的就是讓每一個小方塊(零件)都跟中芯有連結.
: 因此方塊不會POP,
: 從 2x2x2到 11x11x11都有設計.
: 他結構讓方塊在高速轉動時,
: 不會卡,也不會爆炸.
: 我真的好期待,我也知道一堆板友也都很期待.
: 不知道哪時會銷售全球啊?????
