Similar to Soma cube is the 3D pentomino puzzle, which can fill boxes of 2×3×10, 2×5×6 and 3×4×5 units. The Bedlam cube is a 4×4×4 sided cube puzzle consisting of twelve pentacubes and one tetracube. The Diabolical cube is a puzzle of six polycubes that can be assembled together to form a single 3×3×3 cube.
Solving the Gear Cube is based more on the observations the solver makes. There are only two algorithms needed to solve the cube, so finding the patterns is a key skill. However, using the algorithms is simple once the patterns are located. Phase 1: Solve the corners: (This step is intuitive; there are no algorithms to complete this step.)
Solution of Slothouber-Graatsma puzzle in exploded view with colour denoting orientation. The solution of the Slothouber–Graatsma puzzle is straightforward when one realizes that the three 1 × 1 × 1 blocks (or the three holes) need to be placed along a body diagonal of the box, as each of the 3 x 3 layers in the various directions needs to contain such a unit block.
By a result of Raphael M. Robinson this is again solvable whenever d = d 1 × d 2 for two numbers d 1 and d 2 such that the d 1 - and d 2-dimensional cases are themselves solvable. For instance, according to this result, it is solvable for dimensions 4, 6, 8, 9, and other 3-smooth numbers. In all dimensions, the inequality of arithmetic and ...
A combination puzzle, also known as a sequential move puzzle, is a puzzle which consists of a set of pieces which can be manipulated into different combinations by a group of operations. Many such puzzles are mechanical puzzles of polyhedral shape , consisting of multiple layers of pieces along each axis which can rotate independently of each ...
[1] [2] Like the Ghost Cube and Mastermorphix, the Mirror Blocks has a 3×3×3 shape, meaning that it can be solved the same way as the 3×3×3 Rubik's Cube. The fastest single solve for Mirror Blocks in a competition is 10.07 seconds and was achieved by Braden Richards in Huntington, West Virginia on May 17, 2024. [3] [4] [5]
The three pieces of a given color are distinguishable due to the texture of the stickers. There are six edge pieces which are fixed in position relative to one another, each of which has four possible orientations. If the puzzle is solved apart from these pieces, the number of edge twists will always be even, making 4 6 /2 possibilities for ...
A solved Rubik's 360 puzzle. Rubik's 360 is a 3D mechanical puzzle released in 2009 by Ernő Rubik, the inventor of Rubik's Cube and other puzzles. [1] Rubik's 360 was introduced on February 5, 2009 at the Nürnberg International Toy Fair [2] ahead of its worldwide release in August.
