When I first acquired this beautiful puzzle I didn’t quite realize just how difficult it would be to solve. Once you start randomly selecting pieces to make a cube, you’ll discover clues to placing the pieces in the box in their proper slots. I finally solved it after 6 cube assemblies and eventually solving all eight cube’s allowing me to place all pieces in their respective slots in the Tic-Tac-Toe formation! It’s a very cool puzzle with a fun solve!
Kevin has a very nice blog about it!
Here's Eric's description from Cubicdissection:
"Reticulated Cubes is a fascinating exploration of 3x3 cube puzzles with a novel twist. Each box contains nine pieces, and there are eight possible cube solutions. The goal is to organize the pieces in the box such that any three pieces in a straight line will assemble into a cube (tic-tac-toe style). The solution is quite difficult to find"
