Pfft, until you solve that 17x17 you showed me, the rest is just childsplay..... >.>  *ahem* (I can't even finish a standard one!).

See though, if you look at it all the edges are black so really you aren't solving anything other then the centers. And not to be a dick, but that is stupid easy. It would take some time, since it doesn't turn well/has to be a pain to turn. (You should be able to find the video on youtube.) Really though. Even cubes are harder (4x4, 6x6 ect.) Just cuz the parity errors you can get with them are WAY worse... I found a way around them on the 7x7 and 5x5... 

And the main issue with the 7x7 is the edge pairing... That takes me a lot longer then the centers.


But if you want to send me a 17x17 I would be more then willing to solve it for you. :P

Haha, I'll take your word for it buddy, but what you said about solving only the centres does make sense how that would make it a lot easier.  SO, in light of that, you shall not be getting one.... no, I'll have him make a 17x17 without the black edges!  I'll get your padded cell ready! :D

Naw it would just take me a REALLY long time. Watching him turning that thing looked like work... And with that kind of price tag. I sure as shit wouldn't want to break it...

I know someone who finally broke up with the douche-bag she was going out with.  I just hope she has the strength to stick by her guns and not let him back in!

Another bit of good news...  That job I was talking about finally became officially open and the company emailed me today saying I had been referred to them by one of my old coworkers and I had to fill out a profile and submit more info to them.  I have this feeling that an interview is soon.  *nervous but excited*

I hope so.  I will cry myself to sleep if they make me an offer but can't get close enough to my current salary.
