So, I found a golf ball with mystical lines drawn on it : there's a vague memory of a 45degree Rubik's cube idea (or maybe it was a segue from another idea). Anyways, I'm trying to find that idea.

Also, the one about coal in Tibet.

Halfbakery: Rotaty cube Rotaty cube
"45 degree Rubiks"? I searched quaternion cube because there was something interesting about the non-commutative property of rotations in different axes or something like that. [zen_tom, May 06 2020]

So, a Tibetan yurt city is all smoggy because of the brown coal they use and inefficient stoves/heaters. HB'ers came together and suggested improvements, quite a few of which didn't involve bulldozers or high explosives.

As far as the Rubik's wotsis is concerned, I don't remember much except figuring it out on a golf ball, which worthy I found the other day (month, actually).

Also, I was looking for [MB]'s spare driveway post, but anecdotal evidence points to it having long been deleted.

Just a bit of rest and rumination, is all.

So, "Rotaty Cube" it is... not sure I can get back into it enough to figure out where I was. Thanks [zen_tom}

Aaand the Tibet one ; thanks [kdf]

My pleasure [FT] that was one of those lovely ideas that really sparked a proper exercise of the mind. The halfbakery at its best.

We'd accuse you of plagiarism, except we stole that line from someone else....

Yup [AC] couldn't remember who, and was too embarassed to ask. So, did anything become of it ?
