Designers André Boulouard Walter Randelshofer WebSites http://www.mementoslangues.fr/ http://www.randelshofer.ch/ Introduction A Breton First Names Cube is a 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube used to display selected Breton First Names. In addition, the cube can be used as a Breton Word Composer and can display selected first names and words in many other languages. More than 1300 different first names or words can now be displayed on the cube. Breton Language – Useful Links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tro_Breizh http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breton_language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudwal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_founding_saints_of_Brittany http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_des_prénoms_bretons There are Virtual Cubes that can be virtually rotated and twisted on a computer screen and Real Cubes that can only be physically rotated and twisted by hand. A Texture is laid down on a Virtual Cube whereas real Stickers are stuck down on a Real Cube. A Breton First Names Cube is designed by placing letters on a texture which is then laid down on a Virtual Cube (see http://www.randelshofer.ch/ for more details). Many Breton First Names can be displayed on a selected Cube face by rotating and twisting some parts of the Cube. When this has been achieved, we say that the Cube has been solved. In Brittany, many Breton First Names are also Town Names. For example: 'MALO' for 'SAINT-MALO', 'GWENOLE' for 'SAINT-GUENOLE', BRIEG for 'SAINT- BRIEUC', 'DINAN' for 'DINAN', 'VOLLON' for 'LANVOLON', 'LUNER' for SAINT-LUNAIRE', 'KADVAN' for 'CAVAN', etc…So, by learning some Breton First Names, we can also learn many Breton Town Names. This would make a 'Tour of Brittany' more enjoyable… The following example shows the initial state of the cube, where 'TRO BREIZH' is displayed on the front face. 'TRO' means 'Tour' and 'BREIZH' means 'Brittany', so 'TRO BREIZH' is simply a 'Tour of Brittany'.

Because it is nearly impossible to test all configurations, the placement of numbers and letters on a texture should be carefully checked at the end of the design process. This is carried out by applying a Design Rules Check (DRC) in the final design stage.
