the ThinkFun company makes a larger version with a lot more shapes to make
I made one, but I can't click any 'I made one' button... Is this due to the license?
Interesting. This is *almost* a "Soma cube," which is a classic 3x3 cube dissection puzzle. Based on the photo, however, the two chiral pieces appear to have the same handedness, whereas in a true Soma cube they have opposite handedness. Is it really possible to assemble a 3x3 cube when both of these are the same piece?
Believe it or not, it is still possible to solve it with two of the same "chiral" pieces! I was originally planning on re-creating a Soma Cube puzzle by making them mirror images of each other, but had some weird software problems, and decided to stick with what I had...two of the same piece! I was really surprised to find that it's still solvable :)
Challenge me. I had that puzzle done on NJTransit train with my eyes closed. Step up! Something challenging please!
haha, I used to have these as a kid. Now I can relive that by printing them. Thanks!

I am curious, could a version of this be made with only one solution? And if so could someone tell me which pieces it would require?
Thanks. :)
