I have recently obtained a twisty puzzle that was entirely new to me, but which exists already for several years. Actually it appears to have been patented in 1994 and produced in 1998.
Geert Hellings
The name of the puzzle is COSMOS puzzle.
Basically it is a 2*2*2 ball with blue background and the globe painted in silver colour onto this (so, a bit similar to the ‘octo-ball’). Furthermore, it has logo’s of the France 1998 soccer world championships and was made in ..... Korea!!
Apparently it was produced in Korea in 1998 or so in anticipation of the world soccer championships in Korea (and Japan) in 2002. There is also a small logo “2002 world cup Korea”, but without mentioning Japan (!), referring to these 2002 soccer championships.
What is furthermore special to the puzzle is that at the 6 intersections there are small circular parts which can be turned separately. This appears to be similar to what was once announced for the K-balls (but which I have actually never seen in real puzzles). In order to move the smaller circular parts at the intersections, there is a piece that ‘sits’ at the oustide of the puzzle. Four ‘mini-knobs’ underneath this piece fit into the circular parts allowing these to be rotated. In order to move around the puzzle there is a fifth knob or ’tongue’ attached (underneath) this outside piece that allows the piece via channels to move around the puzzle.
To be homest, I have not seen the puzzle nor the concept of the puzzle before.
In the meantime, I have learned that there are 2 different versions; a blue version and a green version. I only have one sample of the blue type.

这球本身应该是个二阶球，旋转面的交叉外加设一圈可旋转的环，这环的变化相当于四阶中块的变化，球上还有一只不知名的玩意，至于怎么玩我就不知了，称这球为2.5阶是合适的。
这种魔方很有创意，我喜欢，特介绍给大家欣赏。
[em02]球体上看来好象还有"滑轨"?难道是旋转时用来滑动那个不知名玩意来起到限制作用的?以此来达到限制还原的目的?[乱猜一下]
看起来很棒的东东[em02][em23][em24]
这个看起来挺好玩的.
原来烟头逛M记论坛的.
en,我也有同感！
[em01] 又长见识了 [em38] [em26]

很明显, 这是要把那个乌鸦从一个点移动到另外一个点就算成功了嘛.....
这个球就是个地图....
