* Ed Barno, San Diego, 7. I think I drove this route once.
Susan Morfey, Little Italy, 7. This makes me want to go on a road trip!
Miyuki Passchier, Clairemont, 7. Go, San Diego track club!
Conway Redding, La Mesa, 7. Let's hear if for Topology.
Joseph Ciprian, Little Italy, 6. I cheated on this. I shouldn't be listed on here.
* Ted Scafidi, San Diego, 6. Diacubolical!
* Tom Somich, Clairemont, 6. Almost like a Rubik's cube.
* John Strauch, Point Loma, 6. Climbed Pike and Cody from San Ignatio in Los Coyotes.
John Fitzpatrick, San Diego, 4. You're right, Michael. 42 car-length moves. You wuz robbed.
Jonathan Gerard, Downtown, 3. I can't believe there is another player called Juanito Gerardo.

I don't understand the solution to "Cube route". How do you get from 6 to 8 to 5?

Yes, please tell us.

This puzzle (directions) made no sense.

As an engineer, I taped the strips exactly as shown in the diagram, with the tabs as indicated in the drawing.

Even trying to turn the middle strip inside out, it does not appear to be possible to have the route go more then 3 or 4 sides of the cube without any dead ends shown on the route (which to me meant an overpass/underpass had to be connected as well).

The directions implied that a route was possible using ALL the routes.

Someone PLEASE explain the answer, and how you traverse from one piece of paper to another. Are the back-sides of the paper also eligible as routes?
