Tuttminx. The original Tuttminx in its solved state. A Tuttminx (/ ˈtʊtmɪŋks / or / ˈtʌtmɪŋks /) is a Rubik's Cube -like twisty puzzle, in the shape of a truncated icosahedron. It was invented by Lee Tutt in 2005. [1] It has a total of 150 movable pieces to rearrange, compared to 20 movable pieces of the Rubik's Cube.
A Möbius strip made with paper and adhesive tape. In mathematics, a Möbius strip, Möbius band, or Möbius loop[a] is a surface that can be formed by attaching the ends of a strip of paper together with a half-twist. As a mathematical object, it was discovered by Johann Benedict Listing and August Ferdinand Möbius in 1858, but it had already ...
Many such puzzles are mechanical puzzles of polyhedral shape, consisting of multiple layers of pieces along each axis which can rotate independently of each other. Collectively known as twisty puzzles, the archetype of this kind of puzzle is the Rubik's Cube. Each rotating side is usually marked with different colours, intended to be scrambled ...
Some different colours and shapes of pasta in a pasta specialty store in Venice. There are many different varieties of pasta. [1] They are usually sorted by size, being long (pasta lunga), short (pasta corta), stuffed (ripiena), cooked in broth (pastina), stretched (strascinati) or in dumpling-like form (gnocchi/gnocchetti).
The Pyraminx Duo is a puzzle in the shape of a tetrahedron, divided into 4 corner pieces and 4 face centre pieces. Each corner piece has three colours, while the centre pieces each have a single colour. Each face of the puzzle contains one face centre piece and three corner pieces. The puzzle can be thought of as twisting around its corner ...
The number of different shapes of the Rubik's Snake is at most 4 23 = 70 368 744 177 664 ( ≈ 7×10 13 or 70 trillion), i.e. 23 turning areas with 4 positions each. The real number of different shapes is lower, since some configurations are spatially impossible (because they would require multiple prisms to occupy the same region ...
The Dino Cube is a twisty puzzle in the shape of a cube. It consists of 12 movable pieces, all of which are located on the edges of the cube. The puzzle can be thought of as twisting around its corners: each move changes the position of three edge pieces adjacent to the same corner, by rotating them around that corner.
The rhombicuboctahedron is an Archimedean solid, meaning it is a highly symmetric and semi-regular polyhedron, and two or more different regular polygonal faces meet in a vertex. [14] The polygonal faces that meet for every vertex are one equilateral triangle and three squares, and the vertex figure is denoted as .
