Easy variations are: - With 2, 4 or 8 slices. - With 3, 5 or 7 cuts, using simultaneous shifting of all slices. - More stops to be made when shifting, so even more circle parts. (higher order, like a 5x5x5 to a 3x3x3) - Using the trend of the second type of turning, make it turn when just two of the slices are shifted. - Make the slices flip over as well. - Instead of circles going through all slices, make them go through just 2, 3 or 4 of the slices. - Add a circle around the center in the neutral position, intersecting the circle parts Can't come up with any more, hope this helps ;)
Answer: this puzzle forms circles when it is fully slid in one direction, or partially slid in 3 directions. I would guess that a version could be made in which after being fully or partially slid in 2 directions a circle is formed (not necessarily both full slid or both partially slid).
I've seen something like this as a kid... They were not puzzles, but spheres and discs that could expand and contract to flip and display a design reverse to the original. To answer the question: the two ideas could be combined to create a puzzle that is can, in one move, completely invert itself.
You should make a similar puzzle that has two independently moving layers. Each half of the disk could also flip 180 degrees along any of the disk's 3 diameters, allowing pieces from the top layer to mix with those from the bottom layer. Basically if you made a 6-sided Vladimir's Cheese and flattened it like a pancake, and then gave it some of the rotational moves of this puzzle.
I don't think that they should be independently moving, but I agree - flippable pieces would certainly give this puzzle much more possibilities, as the sliding moves only branch out to create rotating moves, which there are only two of. A disk-style puzzle like this could also incorporate a really beautiful CMY RGB colour wheel onto it. Very nice as it is though; just not super difficult or with a lot of possibilities.

I feel like it might be possible to combine this concept with the classic sliding tiles puzzle. I am not quite sure how it would work, but it might be interesting to try.
This is great! I like watching all of your videos and wondering, "What brand new idea will he think up this time?" And I"m never disappointed ! Keep up the great work! :D
Because of its lower 3D-printed volume, this puzzle is more affordable than some of my other puzzles. However, it is still a lot of money for a puzzle that does not turn perfectly.
There's a videogame in development called Miegakure that has 4-dimensional geometry. Unfortunately, judging by its YT comment section, not many people seem to be able to grasp the concept, so IDK if it'll ever be released :-/
I like the 1st side better; it's like a Venn Diagram. Flip the puzzle and call it "Venn-geance" (I know I'm like 4years late to the discussion; it's 2018 and it probably has a name now.)
This is a good puzzle but it's definitely not a twisty puzzle because it doesn't twist and its 2d. There is only one axis of rotation in 2D so a 2d rubiks cube isn't actually possible
For a related puzzle, how about something like this: imgur.com/uDSgZqx ? It's basically a Crazy Osdas, but I think its rather similar. If you use this idea please at least cite my contribution of the concept.
Nice idea to combine sliding rotation as you sketch. A fundamental issue is how one can prevent the rotating pieces from falling out. Feel free to contact me privately if you want to discuss this in more detail.
I think calling it disc is good enough. I mean, rubik's cubes is a name for almost any puzzle that is of a cube shape, only due to it being the first, or kleenex, just because it is a well known brand. now if that disc puzzle had a vertical turn, the nameccould be vertadisc, but horidisc just dosent sound as good=)
If I answer the question in your video and you use the idea to create something to make money on, do I get to share in the profit? ;-) Call these kind of puzzles Twisty Labyrinths.
Is it? That "joke" is a permutation group with 4,300,000,000,000,000,000 scrambled states (and 1 solved/unscrambled state.) Mathematicians could not verify this until 2006 checking every scramble with computers; it would be easier to find the right house by ringing every single doorbell on the Earth than to physically ckeck every scrambled state of a Rubiks cube. Now I solve it in 2minutes, but I had a Rubik's cube for a year before I solved it with no help at all and I'm proud of that! The Skewb Xtreme and the Gearball weren't nearly as challenging for me to solve as the original 3x3 Rubik's.
I would call this new category of puzzles rotoids
noice
Thumbs up if Oskar deserves a Wikipedia page!
Feel start to make one. There is already a reference to me from Bram Cohen's Wikipedia page.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskar_van_Deventer
Finally! :)
You came from the future and those puzzles are copies of future puzzle.There no other explanation.Amazing work Oscar
and he came back for Rubik's puzzles!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This puzzle is absolutely gorgeous to look at. Beautiful. What a piece of art.

- Make the slices flip over as well.
- Instead of circles going through all slices, make them go through just 2, 3 or 4 of the slices.
- Add a circle around the center in the neutral position, intersecting the circle parts
Can't come up with any more, hope this helps ;)
petition for this to be mass produced
Wouldn't this puzzle work a lot better with some kind of handles or ridges?
2:10, now you can throw it at a Oskar puzzle burglar like a ninja star.
We need a new name for this type of twisty puzzle. Any thoughts?
Slipping puzzle? Maybe a sliding twist?
open (as in no frame) planar (2d) slip twist (because they slide and twist) puzzles
i like sliding twist.
"Occam's razor"
You should add a clicking mechanism, and make it out of harder plastic
Whirl Wind
Best twisty puzzle I´ve ever seen!
what a mindfack i am watching before my report is about to due.
Awesome. Can't wait till it's usable
I would suggest the name 'Pulsar', an astronomy term that designates a type of rotating star.
Answer: this puzzle forms circles when it is fully slid in one direction, or partially slid in 3 directions. I would guess that a version could be made in which after being fully or partially slid in 2 directions a circle is formed (not necessarily both full slid or both partially slid).
One of my all time favorites
Thanks!

I would suggest "Freeform sliding puzzles" - the mechanism is similar to a 15-puzzle but isn't limited to grid-based sliding moves.
And once you're done with it you can turn it into a beautiful mandala for your bedroom!
Call it "Mandala"!
Woah, I haven't seen that before. Amazing job!
training discs met die sterke magneeten erin
dat je zo'n puzzel maakt maar dan met magneten
You should make ridges on the circle
I really love this one!
Twist n Slide! Simple, but it's fun to say and it makes sense.
Great puzzle!. It reminds me to geranium puzzle, but this Kristian's disk looks even better!.
you should get this mass produced
I'll buy it. Keep up the great work.
OskarPuzzle "Discoid" - to be shaped like a disc. I believe that would be the perfect name for puzzles of this type.
I feel like it might be possible to combine this concept with the classic sliding tiles puzzle. I am not quite sure how it would work, but it might be interesting to try.
Rename it Homer's Crazy Donut.
I like that puzzle, very cool!
Maybe "slide wheel" puzzles?
Just call it what it is, a helical iris. It's not clever, but it describes the puzzle well.
Ese puzzle sería genial si fuera comercializado y que fuera oficial.
Incredible
"Frameless Planoid Rotosliders"?
Pinwheel Slider Puzzle
Super awesome toy!
I got a 45-minute ad about leaky gut and how to stop it…
Great puzzles Oskar. Do you 3D print them all?
This is great! I like watching all of your videos and wondering, "What brand new idea will he think up this time?" And I"m never disappointed ! Keep up the great work! :D
This is ingenious!
Thank you! Alas not fully functional ...
It's not? It looks fully functional in this presentation... And I really liked this one, it's so different and clever.
Wow! This thing is amazing! I just wish I had enough money to get my hands on it! :D
Flower puzzle cause it looks like a flower when it's fully twisted up
Very good puzzle :) If I were to buy one ...how wouLd I assemble it?
You would by it by following the link in the description.
Oskars donut!!! Lol
I'd love to have one of these. If only I could afford them :(
Because of its lower 3D-printed volume, this puzzle is more affordable than some of my other puzzles. However, it is still a lot of money for a puzzle that does not turn perfectly.
What about the geranium?
Let's take it further by making a 1 dimensional puzzle,or a 4 dimensional puzzle
1 Dimensional is not possible
Hræð Van De Gevel i think he meant 4 spatial dimensions
There's a videogame in development called Miegakure that has 4-dimensional geometry. Unfortunately, judging by its YT comment section, not many people seem to be able to grasp the concept, so IDK if it'll ever be released :-/
I like the 1st side better; it's like a Venn Diagram. Flip the puzzle and call it "Venn-geance" (I know I'm like 4years late to the discussion; it's 2018 and it probably has a name now.)
The 15 tile puzzle
Wheel of Confusion
Spectrum Disc
Great puzzle, it makes my head spin, Dizzy Disc?
Good name.Unfortunately, I have already named another puzzle of mine Dizzy Disc several years ago.
OskarPuzzle
Another name then : Ventilator? It also reminds me a camera shutter : Focus Puzzle?
Spiral Disc
why do this puzzles cost so much? like, +200$ for this? NOW WAY!
+Sr Brunovsky See oskarvandeventer.nl/FAQ.html
I think you mean, Now way ----> no way.
Oskar, echt toffe video's, ik vind dit heel interessant.
its really pretty tho
Mind=blown
i want one to solve it
Professor Megadisk 2D
could you give me a computer program i can make and test these puzzles with?
This is a good puzzle but it's definitely not a twisty puzzle because it doesn't twist and its 2d. There is only one axis of rotation in 2D so a 2d rubiks cube isn't actually possible
now make a 4d version. I think it wouldn't be too hard for you, would it?
For a related puzzle, how about something like this: imgur.com/uDSgZqx ? It's basically a Crazy Osdas, but I think its rather similar. If you use this idea please at least cite my contribution of the concept.

rolling cube :D
Fraser's Spiral Puzzle.
Rainbow twirl? Also how are there comments so old?
turn on the dutch auto translate, its wonderfull.
woa that's craze
o thats pretty cool
Id say its 20% cooler than the traditional rubix cube. :)
+Rampage Phoenix 120% cooler. 20% cooler means a fifth as cool as a rubik's cube. Lol.
(1:42) The middle looks like the Jewish Star, lmao.
why not use a hexagon to make something simular.
Does he make these puzzles? If so how?
+Drigo 924 Yes, I do. See also oskarvandeventer.nl/FAQ.html
1:38 sharingan (kinda)
Colo(u)r twirl.
Spiral Void Crazy. hahha i like that name
Call the type "Rotary Puzzles"
I think calling it disc is good enough. I mean, rubik's cubes is a name for almost any puzzle that is of a cube shape, only due to it being the first, or kleenex, just because it is a well known brand.
now if that disc puzzle had a vertical turn, the nameccould be vertadisc, but horidisc just dosent sound as good=)
rotate, rotation, rotating. research these words ;)
Twisty-disc
This looks really finicky and frustrating. Looks great though.
Call it a mosaic disk
...Holy shit
it's a Rubik's cube; that slipped a disc *rimshot* Or call it a Rudisc cube? ;-)
Planar puzzles
Pizza puzzle

The rubiks cube is a joke now...
