What's in the box:
Snake cube: The Snake Cube Puzzle is a bamboozling brain teaser that provides countless hours of entertainment every time you pick it up! A string of bi-colored wooden cubes form a Hamiltonian path through a 3x3x3 grid. Build your skill and patience as you twist the snake of 27 cubes back into its original 3x3x3 cube. This mind boggling puzzle’s difficulty is truly the stuff of legends - you won’t want to miss out! Handmade from high-quality wood that has a smooth feel and sleek appearance, this puzzle makes a perfect toy for the desk or coffee table - share it with friends, family, and guests of all kinds!
Burr puzzle: Burr puzzles have been astounding and confounding master puzzlers for ages, and there are many variants that all circle back to the idea of an interlocking puzzle. Out of 7 pieces, there is a central piece deceptively disguised in the design that serves as a key to unlocking the sculpture. The first challenge is “shattering” the burr. Then, the real struggle is to reconstruct the shape to its former glory, which proves difficult due to the unique intricacies in each piece. Burr puzzles prove difficult to visualize spatially due to the presence of gaps within the structure, meaning that even the finished product is not completely solid all the way through.
Soma cube: The Soma Cube just may be the most famous packing problem ever devised! Danish mathematician Piet Hein invented the puzzle in 1933 to distract himself during a lecture on quantum mechanics. The mind-blowing Soma Cube consists of 7 non-identical pieces that must be packed into a 3x3x3 cube. All 7 pieces must be used, and unlike most puzzles (which usually have only one right answer), there are up to 240 ways to build the Soma Cube! During your quest to find all 240 solutions, you may stumble upon the 100 other shapes that can be built using these same 7 pieces. The sky’s the limit!
Organized by Difficulty Level:
Soma Cube: 7 pieces, Difficulty Level: 2.5/5
Snake Cube: 27 cubes, Difficulty Level: 3/5
Burr Puzzle: 6 pieces, Difficulty Level: 3.5/5
