And I decided to color in the title page myself. I think I did a pretty good job.

Sorry about the job, dude. Maybe Paul will let you do a reveal or teaseDamnit..

It's actually kind of the opposite—some scrambled states can never be created. The core of the cube is fixed as far as where the center colors sit in relation to one another. For instance, the green center is always opposite the blue center on a standard cube. They're connected by an axle, like wheels, so you could never have something like two blue centers or a corner or edge with both blue and green, etc. Unless you take a cube apart or take the stickers off a stickered cube and reapply them, there's no way to scramble it that can't be solved, but if you just add colors randomly to a blank cube, the chances that you'll create a scramble that's actually possible in reality are astronomical.
As always, it's great to see how much attention to detail Paul put into the final production of this. I'm not the one who pointed out the colors on the prototype, but I'm not surprised someone did. Seeing cubes in unsolvable states is something that drives some cubers crazy. I'm just bummed I couldn't afford to pick one up—it looks like it's going to be awesome!
I was regretting not ordering this before, now i am gutted!I thought this would be of interest. The paperweight for Let The Right One In is a complex one to make. Someone had sent us an interesting observation; that the configuration of the colored squares on the prototype in the photos made the cube impossible to solve. We were aware of that, and had already planned for the production run to have a cube with a combination of colors that is solvable. There's a website we used to determine not only an ideal placement (we needed a red square at the corner of one side, but also that its a solvable combination.
It isn't possible to use an actual Rubik's Cube because it would get distorted and damaged during the production process, and any colors would not remain intact due to extended/excessive heat and pressure. So we're making a replica cube to achieve the effect. We also wanted to make sure the colors were accurate, so we used the specific Pantone color codes for each. This is a diagram showing the placement of the squares and the color codes.
A lot has gone into making this one, and it should be a fun paperweight to have.

Just for funsies, I scrambled one of my cubes to match the scramble set for the finished paperweight:
This shall henceforth be known as "The Suntup Scramble."

Thank you but i only have two ARC's at this time, need more though hahaha. I really do appreciate these gifts. 😎
Thank you again! It's really cool to own one of these rare ones, it got dented in the corner a bit during shipping but i will try to straighten it out. 😉

The lottery, IAL, and Let The Right One in aren't all ARC's? I thought they all were. Sorry. I have two also. Yea, it's pretty neat to have them and I. like you,

IAL and LTROI are ARC's but The Lottery is the numbered edition. I don't know if there was an ARC made of The Lottery.The lottery, IAL, and Let The Right One in aren't all ARC's? I thought they all were. Sorry. I have two also. Yea, it's pretty neat to have them and I. like you,

OHHHHHH. I see. I have my books so the book spine is facing out. You have it so the case is facing out. That way, it fooled me into thinking The Lottery was an ARC. My fault.
Congrats again though. I have IAL and THOHH.

It is impressive, one of the first pages contains a quote that makes me want to listen to Morrissey again.
"I never wanted to kill, I am not naturally evil
Such things I do
Just to make myself more attractive to you
Have I failed?"
Thanks again Ari! 😎
