SkimmIQ is a 3D puzzle that looks like the classic cube, but the rules are different: faces don't turn. Instead you slide closed bands of stickers that wrap around the cube. That one change breaks every cube instinct you have — and it created an open problem. The game's AI solvers crack any scramble in a second or two, but no human has found a repeatable method yet. A full year out, and nobody has. Maybe one of your readers will be the first.
You pick your own entry point: six layouts from a tiny 1x1x2 up to the full 3x3x3, three color difficulties, and scramble depths from gentle to hopeless. Every puzzle state can travel as a link with a replay, so positions move between players.
