Sport stacking, also known as cup stacking or speed stacking, is an individual and team sport that involves stacking 9–12 specially designed cups in predetermined sequences as quickly as possible. The cups are specially designed with holes to allow for air to pass through.
The cube stacking game is a two-player game version of this puzzle. Given an ordered list of cubes, the players take turns adding the next cube to the top of a growing stack of cubes. The loser is the first player to add a cube that causes one of the four sides of the stack to have a color repeated more than once.
If (a, b, c) is a solution, then (ka, kb, kc) is also a solution for any k.Consequently, the solutions in rational numbers are all rescalings of integer solutions. Given an Euler brick with edge-lengths (a, b, c), the triple (bc, ac, ab) constitutes an Euler brick as well.
Tak is a two-player abstract strategy game that first existed fictionally within Patrick Rothfuss's fantasy trilogy, The Kingkiller Chronicle, before being brought to life by James Ernest in collaboration with Rothfuss, and published by Cheapass Games in 2016.
If the player misses completely, the game is over. The number of blocks is automatically reduced to two at level four, then one at level 10. The goal is to consistently get the blocks directly above the previous set, stacking them to the minor prize and ultimately the major prize level. If the player accepts the minor prize, the game ends.
Cyclone does the same thing as Stacker, allowing for the approximate amount of wins to be adjusted by lowering the window that a game can be won (to as low as 1 millisecond or as high as 20 milliseconds) and when it gets to the desired ratio and wants to have a winner, it bumps the window up to the maximum (in this case, 20 milliseconds).
Death Stacks is an abstract strategy board game for two players invented by Stephen Euin Cobb. Death Stacks can be classified as a variant of the game Focus by Sid Sackson, published in A Gamut of Games. The Annual Death Stacks Tournament is held in Charlotte, North Carolina each summer and is hosted by the science fiction convention, ConCarolinas.
The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.
