  2. The Ancient Tradition of Geometric Problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ancient_Tradition_of...

    The Ancient Tradition of Geometric Problems studies the three classical problems of circle-squaring, cube-doubling, and angle trisection throughout the history of Greek mathematics, [1] [2] also considering several other problems studied by the Greeks in which a geometric object with certain properties is to be constructed, in many cases through transformations to other construction problems.

  3. Conway puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway_puzzle

    A possible placement for the three 1×1×3 blocks – the vertical block has corners touching corners of the two horizontal blocks The solution of the Conway puzzle is straightforward once one realizes, based on parity considerations, that the three 1 × 1 × 3 blocks need to be placed so that precisely one of them appears in each 5 × 5 × 1 slice of the cube. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-cube_calendar

    A puzzle about the two-cube calendar was described in Gardner's column in Scientific American. [1] [2] In the puzzle discussed in Mathematical Circus (1992), two visible faces of one cube have digits 1 and 2 on them, and three visible faces of another cube have digits 3, 4, 5 on them. The cubes are arranged so that their front faces indicate ...

  5. Hoffman's packing puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffman's_packing_puzzle

    Hoffman's packing puzzle is an assembly puzzle named after Dean G. Hoffman, who described it in 1978. [1] The puzzle consists of 27 identical rectangular cuboids, each of whose edges have three different lengths. Its goal is to assemble them all to fit within a cube whose edge length is the sum of the three lengths. [2] [3]

  6. Doubling the cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_the_cube

    In algebraic terms, doubling a unit cube requires the construction of a line segment of length x, where x 3 = 2; in other words, x = , the cube root of two. This is because a cube of side length 1 has a volume of 1 3 = 1, and a cube of twice that volume (a volume of 2) has a side length of the cube root of 2.

  7. Prince Rupert's cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert's_cube

    A unit cube with a hole cut through it, large enough to allow Prince Rupert's cube to pass. In geometry, Prince Rupert's cube is the largest cube that can pass through a hole cut through a unit cube without splitting it into separate pieces. Its side length is approximately 1.06, 6% larger than the side length 1 of the unit cube through which ...

  8. Instant Insanity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_Insanity

    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.

  9. Block-stacking problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-stacking_problem

    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.
