I wonder that nobody comments FlatRubik.
There is an interesting relationship between MagicTile and FlatRubik.
The "Rotate 7x7" in FlatRubik is a "495" (square, 9 colors, length 5)
compared to the "695" in MagicTile (hexagonal, 9 colors, length 5).
Of course all MagigTile have order 3 vertices. Rotate 7x7 has order 4 vertices.
