I think that all of us here can relate to your story. What do your
friends and family think about it? I ask because I’ve found that when
talking about the 4D cube, people will often quake with a strange sort
of fear. Perhaps it’s something like math phobia, I’m not really sure,
but when I’ve then described some of these other puzzles in even higher
dimensions and strange topologies, their minds seem to implode and
refuse to take in any more information. What’s it like when the lead-in
to such a discussion is the 7D Rubik’s cube?
