Hi, I am hungarian and I have some things to say that could help. First off Kristóf Miklós is a fairy common name so the one on the patent probably isnt the original. The more important one is that reszulovicsné means wife of reszulovics. I googled that name and there were some results most of them tied to a fencer who rebelled against the soviet dictatorship. Hope this helps
I was very into cubing around 2009 and have been in and out of it since then, this channel has been such a blast from the past and makes me want to pick up more of my collection other than my 3x3, skewb, square-1, and megaminx. Subscribed, great content my dude
I really like this video format, I think it’s fun and interesting. The only thing you need to work on is the audio for the video section and the lighting as well. But, I still think it’s really good and I would like to see more like this!!
A Hungarian here to clear up some confusion around 10:50 So Kristóf Miklós Sándor is actually "Miklós Sándor Kristóf" where Miklós Sándor are his first names and Kristóf is his family name. Based on this I think the 2nd Miklós Kristóf is probably his father (as "nyugdíjas" means pensioner). I can also guess this based on the next 2,5% patentholder: Miklósné Kristóf ("-né" signifies she was the wife of Miklós Kristóf, also pensioner). Back in the old times some girls got rid of their maiden names, took the full name of their husbands and just put -né after the surname. The same name switching is true for dr. Szlivka Ferenc, he is actually Ferenc Szlivka (Ferenc is his first name: Franz, same as Franz/Ferenc Liszt, the famous Hungarian composer). The same is valid for Reszulovichné Farkaslaky Erzsébet (-né means she is a she, wife of Reszulovich). Erzsébet is Elizabeth, that's her first name. Farkaslaky is probably her maiden surname, and she took her husband's surname Reszulovich as well, hence the full name (in English order) would be something like Elizabeth/Erzsébet Farkaslaky Reszulovichné.
In your video on the Pyraminx you said: "He (Uwe Meffert) created the five Platonic solids out of wood, but soon became bored and cut them up in to pieces and attached them to a ball with rubber bands". That certainly sounds like he created the Megaminx (and possibly even the Rubik's Cube itself).
Okay I genuinely forgot about that. That said, its not really a mechanism that works to create a megaminx, is it? He kept developing the pyraminx with his brother until there was an actual workable design.
@@TheCubingHistorian Also in the Pyraminx video you mentioned a Russian guy who made a bunch of puzzles, but there's little trace left of him. He could have made the Megaminx before anyone else and we'd never, ever know.
My deff. of what an Inventor is: Someone who creates a "working" prototype model/mock-up of how the final product or idea should work. Like for say that Erno Rubik is the true inventor of the "Twistypuzzle" category of puzzles since he was the first person to make a good and a successful notable working TwistyPuzzle.
Ok, I see you checked out things carefully. I can't really add much else except to say I ordered a Hungarian Supernova from Bandelow in 1989 and I never saw one in Canada for sale (I still haven't to this day). Omni Magazine mentioned the megaminx in Oct 1982, that's the first I heard about it. I don't think it's too hard to imagine that several people would have generalized the Rubik mechanism to a decahedral shape.
Me: clicks on video on Cubing Historian about the mystery of the megaminx What I expect: normal video about it What I got: Chugging down breath mints disguised as ketamine and a normal video it
Honestly your videos are great. The info you gather and the way you present it is very enjoyable. The only thing that is distracting are the terrible acoustics. Well done though!
I love this video. At 4:16 I think you're wrong tho. I've heard that a regular 3x3 has way more than trillions of permutations so I'd assume megaminx has more
I would love to see the original Megaminx video you planned even if parts of it are uncertain. Also, sorry for commenting. There were 69 comments before this )=
Patent Number: WO8203564 Popular Name: Hungarian Supernova Inventor(s): Szlivka Ferenc Date Issued: October 28, 1982 Note how soon this followed the Bandelow/Corbeck patent.
Patent Number: DE3110834 Popular Name: Megaminx (Bandelow) Inventor(s): Dr. Christoph Bandelow; Helmut Corbeck Date Issued: October 14, 1982 That is the German patent, but there are probably other (possibly earlier) ones.
The fact it's: 1. In 1981 at the height of Rubik craze; 2. So many people thought of the same thing. 3. Mechanism is basically a Rubik's cube applied to different Platonic solid. This tells me it's not really an invention. Every engineer thinking about it for 5 minutes could have come up with it. It was only a matter of a race who will make it first.

The Cubing Historian hi
INTJs are so particular. Great video.
I don't really like that video format. I feel like it's artificial and prefer the style of your other videos. Though, it was great content, keep it up
About to be 12:00 am. Do it

You coming out of the oblivion trying to make a message while chugging Ketamine was the last thing I expected from a history channel...
Let alone a history channel about twisty puzzles 😅
I need it to liiiiive
Comingout?
I didn't realize how much I missed this channel until I saw this upload. And that intro was interesting.... to say the least.
Since we are off school I'm calling this my history homework
If you look in the description the category is education
I haaave been getting a lot of spam emails about how I need to make a study guide app for my videos...
I was very into cubing around 2009 and have been in and out of it since then, this channel has been such a blast from the past and makes me want to pick up more of my collection other than my 3x3, skewb, square-1, and megaminx. Subscribed, great content my dude
Yessss it's MegaminxWin talking about the Megaminx!
I miss videos like these from the one and only Cubing Historian! ❤
5:04 and I am NOT CUTTING THIS
This was super interesting! Your videos are amazing. I for one would love to see some of the material you cut in a Megaminx part 2 video.
I love your hair!! It's so fluffy looking
@James Yong 勇 ok??????
the hair it FLOOMF

Oh god I know. As soon as I can I'm going to be spending a bunch on a lav mic and some decent lighting, because my current setup is TRASH.

very interesting
Wait so are we gonna get the full megaminx video?
5am? Yeah, I can stay up 20 more minutes
Congrats you dont owe Dwyane 10 euros
What about that Russian guy from your 'History of the Pyraminx' video? He might have got there before all of the people you mentioned

This is almost like a Tom Scott video. I love it!
Man i was just about to say that, the resemblance is uncanny
I do have to say, I really like your definition for invention and subsuqent descovery.
omg i love this channel so much, its so interesting
This video feels like an idea you had when drunk and then you look at it during a hangover and you were like: "Christ what was I thinking"
That's how all my videos basically go, honestly.
Now this is the content I *chugs more ketamine* subscribed for

Never said it was bad
I'm so glad that I found this video exist, the question in the title is good, the execution of the answer is great
this video has an old youtube feel to it like a 2011 video
I miss this channel!
Finally a new video
What about more info about puzzle companies such as Moyu o shengshou?

Oh ok that would make more sense
Please upload again!
yeah i miss him..

you should make a video on some famous speedcuber, loved the one on feliks zemdegs!
Cube History, a new branch of history
We need further research, you should collab with researchers and ask helpexperts about twisty puzzles
Meffert released it but I don’t know who invented it
Hey, do you have the links that you used? I would like to look at them.
The last patent was made on my birthday in 1981 lol
Guess who’s back, back again
you deserve so much more subscribers
5:00 😂😂😂😂12:15
How tf does dice rolling have anything to do with megaminx permutations? pls finish that video
Your hair is the most amazing hair I have ever seen.
I invented the Megaminx... Hi my name is Cypher Lockwood and i live in India

we need a video on your cat

Patent Number: WO8203564

Inventor(s): Szlivka Ferenc
Date Issued: October 28, 1982
Note how soon this followed the Bandelow/Corbeck patent.
Square 1 is my favorite wca puzzle
i like this style
Just as I improve by 6 seconds on mega
Please make videos like your original ones when there isn't an echo.
So it’s really the... German Supernova..?
Patent Number: DE3110834
Popular Name: Megaminx (Bandelow)
Inventor(s): Dr. Christoph Bandelow; Helmut Corbeck

That is the German patent, but there are probably other (possibly earlier) ones.
It’s me the 11 year old from Sydney open.
I'm one of the other guys from opens I had the camera! I was with Oli! We talked about this very video
Hi, I won Pyraminx at Sydney Open!!!

hi tomas
This guy is like the “Scott the woz” of speedcubing
You look like max from stranger things
yay new vid
Do do drugz
You are funny 😂

Yo
My opinion - it's Erno Rubik
The fact it's: 1. In 1981 at the height of Rubik craze; 2. So many people thought of the same thing. 3. Mechanism is basically a Rubik's cube applied to different Platonic solid. This tells me it's not really an invention. Every engineer thinking about it for 5 minutes could have come up with it. It was only a matter of a race who will make it first.
If Erno did invent it, the Rubik's brand would've made one, and they didn't.
uwe mèffert?
HEHEHE THAT'S ME!
Bruh
Are you married?
God I wish.
I saw this by accident BTW first
