Later also versions were produced with plastic pieces, such as "Adams T puzzle" by S.S. Adams Co in the 1950s' [18] [19] [20] and "The famous T puzzle" by Marx Toys in the 1960s-1970s. [18] From the 1980s' dates the "Mr T's puzzle" featuring the actor Mr. T from the popular A-Team TV series; the back of the product packaging has the catchphrase ...
Most puzzle solvers try to solve such puzzles by mechanical manipulation, but some branches of mathematics can be used to create a model of disentanglement puzzles. Applying a configuration space with a topological framework is an analytical method to gain insight into the properties and solution of some disentanglement puzzles.
In manufactured wood and plastic products, the linking and encaging is often achieved in combination, through mortise-and-tenon key channels along the edges of the pieces. In at least one vintage case of the popular Chinese cognate game Huarong Road , a wire screen prevents lifting of the pieces, which remain loose.
If the solver is particularly advanced, they can skip separately solving the first F2L pair after the cross by solving an X-cross (solving the cross and the first F2L pair at the same time). [4] This is usually done using a technique called Keyhole , which solves one piece of the first F2L pair while ignoring the other piece of that pair.
Top: A failed attempt on a plane — the missed wall is indicated Bottom: A solution on a torus — the dotted line is on the back side of the torus Comparison of the graphs of the Seven bridges of Konigsberg (top) and Five-room puzzles (bottom). The numbers denote the number of edges connected to each vertex.
A sliding T bevel, also known as a bevel gauge or false square [1] is an adjustable gauge for setting and transferring angles. Different from the square , which is fixed and can only set a 90° angle , the sliding T bevel can set any angle and transfer it on another piece.
A solved Rubik's Revenge cube. The Rubik's Revenge (also known as the 4×4×4 Rubik's Cube) is a 4×4×4 version of the Rubik's Cube.It was released in 1981. Invented by Péter Sebestény, the cube was nearly called the Sebestény Cube until a somewhat last-minute decision changed the puzzle's name to attract fans of the original Rubik's Cube. [1]
Superfinishing, also known as microfinishing [1] and short-stroke honing, is a metalworking process that improves surface finish and workpiece geometry. This is achieved by removing just the thin amorphous surface layer of fragmented or smeared metal left by the last process with an abrasive stone or tape; this layer is usually about 1 μm in magnitude.
