The first cases of common nets of polycubes found was the work by George Miller, with a later contribution of Donald Knuth, that culminated in the Cubigami puzzle. [15] It’s composed of a net that can fold to all 7 tree-like tetracubes. All possible common nets up to pentacubes were found.
A net of a 4-polytope, a four-dimensional polytope, is composed of polyhedral cells that are connected by their faces and all occupy the same three-dimensional space, just as the polygon faces of a net of a polyhedron are connected by their edges and all occupy the same plane. The net of the tesseract, the four-dimensional hypercube, is used ...
A two-cube calendar is a desk calendar consisting of two cubes with faces marked by digits 0 through 9.Each face of each cube is marked with a single digit, and it is possible to arrange the cubes so that any chosen day of the month (from 01, 02, ... through 31) is visible on the two front faces.
Chinese manufacturer ShengShou has been producing cubes in all sizes from 2×2×2 to 15×15×15 (as of May 2020), and has also come out with a 17×17×17. [108] The largest currently mass-produced cube is 21×21×21, made by MoYu beginning in 2021, and costing between $1100 and $1600. [109]
In the typical version of the puzzle, an otherwise empty cuboid room 30 feet long, 12 feet wide and 12 feet high contains a spider and a fly. The spider is 1 foot below the ceiling and horizontally centred on one 12′×12′ wall. The fly is 1 foot above the floor and horizontally centred on the opposite wall.
The popularity of the Cube is reflected in its strong sales—in 2022, 5.75 million units of the official Rubik’s Cube were sold globally and that figure was up 14% year-to-date, according to ...

Its net can be seen as a 4×4×4 matrix of 64 cubes, a periodic subset of the cubic honeycomb, {4,3,4}, in 3-dimensions. It has 192 edges, and 192 square faces. Opposite faces fold together into a 4-cycle. Each fold direction adds 1 dimension, raising it into 6-space. The 6-cube is 6th in a series of hypercube:
