    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_shapes_with...

    Gaussian curve with a two-dimensional domain Many shapes have metaphorical names , i.e., their names are metaphors : these shapes are named after a most common object that has it. For example, "U-shape" is a shape that resembles the letter U , a bell-shaped curve has the shape of the vertical cross section of a bell , etc.

  3. Combination puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_puzzle

    It consists of a bonded transparent plastic box containing seven small cubes. There is an empty space the size of one small cube inside the box and the small cubes are moveable inside the box by tilting the box causing a cube to fall into the space. Commercial Name: Rubik's Clock Piece configuration: 3×3×2 12-position dials

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_Cube

    The 2×2×2 (Pocket/Mini Cube), the standard 3×3×3 cube, the 4×4×4 (Rubik's Revenge/Master Cube), and the 5×5×5 (Professor's Cube) are the most well known, as they are all available under the official Rubik's brand. The WCA sanctions speedsolving competitions for cube orders up to 7×7×7.

  5. Square-1 (puzzle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square-1_(puzzle)

    The Square Two is mechanically the same as a Square-1, but the large corner wedges of the top and bottom layers are cut in half, effectively making the corner wedges as versatile as the edge wedges. This removes the locking issue present on the Square-1, which in many ways makes the Square Two easier to solve (and scramble) than its predecessor.

  6. Rubik's family cubes of varying sizes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubik's_family_cubes_of...

    A 2-layer (size 2) cube has corner cubies only. Cubes of size 2 and size 3 have single solutions, meaning that all the cube elements can have only one correct location for a solved cube. Centre cubies differ from the corner and edge cubies in that their orientation or position has multiple possibilities.

    In geometry, the Rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid, one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces. It has a total of 62 faces: 20 regular triangular faces, 30 square faces, 12 regular pentagonal faces, with 60 vertices , and 120 edges .

  9. Hoffman's packing puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffman's_packing_puzzle

    The total volume of the pieces, 27xyz, is less than the volume (x + y + z) 3 of the cube that they pack into. If one takes the cube root of both volumes, and divides by three, then the number obtained in this way from the total volume of the pieces is the geometric mean of x, y, and z, while the number obtained in the same way from the volume ...
