Yup, I recognized that right away as I've seen a similar puzzle before. So many puzzles have pieces that have pieces that "face inside" and the interlocks meet on interior corners of the pieces. I think this plays on that because you actually fit the "outside" pieces of the puzzle against each other.

One of the pieces looks so distinguished with a 90 degree angle that you swear it should go at the top of the T but that was too fool you.

When I saw the three pieces, I was quite sure that the would be a "trisymmetric" solution. It was clear that A) each piece was part of exactly two cubes and B) two pieces could not be part of the same two cubes. Otherwise those cubes would already be "full" and the thirs piece could only be part of the third cube, which contradicts A). Those thought makes most of the possible solutions impossible, because each cube has to touch each other cube at at least a 0.5 times length x 0.5 times length square, where the pieces are glued together.

All the pieces are not only identical, they are also symetric with opposite polarities. If you want a shape from two pieces that don't initially stick together, just turn one of the pieces 180° around axis X, then 180° around axis Y, you'll get the exact same shape with polarities, that attract.

@mhelvens5 жыл бұрын
It helps to think about the relative positioning that the two unjoined magnets of a two-piece configuration should have in order to accommodate the third piece. That will reduce your search space. The two unjoined magnets of a single piece, when thought of as line segments, are on parallel planes a full cube length away from each other. So to accommodate the third piece, our two-piece configuration must exhibit that same property between *its* two unjoined magnets. That means the first two pieces must face away from each other, leaving only four configurations left to check.
@Croftice13 жыл бұрын
I'm not quite sure, because it was shown multiple times in the video, that each piece has opposite polarities. If you want a shape from two pieces, that repel, all you need to do for them to stick together, is turning one of them around twice (first around one axis, then around another axis), you'll get the exact same configuration now with opposite polarities, that attract. The magnets don't indicate any solution in fact.

That's a beautiful puzzle. I think a key part of its cleverness is the name; by using the word 'cube', most people attempting to solve it will place the pieces 'internally', creating an impossible box. Once the internal cube idea takes hold it's very hard to shift! Ironically, somebody with no preconceptions about boxes, cubes, or puzzle blocks would probably have a less difficult time with this. Let a puppy play with it, or give it to a 3 year-old child; I mean no disrespect, Mr Puzzle, but sometimes a great deal of knowledge can be a dangerous thing! :-)

Rather than sketching out "all possible" arrangements, I would have numbered and measured the poles of each magnet. Take one object at random and take one of its half-cubes and arbitrarily mark it "1". Mark the magnet on one side as "+". Then systematically pick up one piece at a time, numbering each half consecutively and measure each magnet by putting it against "1+". If it repels, mark it also as "+" and if it attracts mark it at "-". (Using stickers, obviously, so you don't ruin the gorgeous puzzle!) Keep mapping until every magnet has been numbered 1-6 and tagged "+"/"-" by pole. After that it's easier to figure out which pieces can go where.

I don't own this puzzle, but I was able to guess the solution from the video description. My guess as to why the puzzle is so hard is that it's not iterative. It's easy to get one or two cubes, so you feel like you're on the right track, but getting all three needs a completely different approach. My first thought was to put two pieces in a 1×1×2 cube, but that obviously leaves no place for the third piece - somehow my mind went in that direction and got to the concave assembly as the most different way to do the arrangement.

I solved it by looking at it and pausing the video. The winning train of thought was this: If 1 cube is made of 2 horizontal blocks there can be no further horizontal parts. (Lets say x) As having a result with 2 cubes with horizontal blocks is easily ruled out. (to state the obvious here: Each part only has 2 blocks, you can only stack 3 in the same orientation, 4 horizontal blocks is unobtainable) This also means there can be only 2 blocks in the other 2 directions (lets say y and z) You can then partially solve it with just 2 parts making only 1 cube! Block A of part A goes on block A of part B making cube 1. Then you have 2 blocks sticking out. (we will call these B) Those cant both be horizontal or both vertical. (block B of part A has a different orientation than block B of part B. ) This because you know the 3rd has blocks in 2 different orientations. There are only 4 ways to do that. Out of those 4 there are 2 where the block all to obviously ends up out of reach. Then. out of the remaining 2 one will not allow you to line up the blocks of the 3rd cube. :-)
