I was pleasantly surprised by a Christmas gift from Tanner today, we’ve been discussing the Beall Buffing System that I’ve been using for well over a decade, and Tanner decided to take the plunge and give it a go!
This puzzle is one of Tanner’s favourite puzzle designs by Kohno and it’s definitely a tricky devil and had me stumped for a bit. Tanner didn’t realize that he used some choice Leopardwood in my copy and just so happens to be one of my favourite puzzle woods.
Eric had made a run of these puzzles but sadly they are now sold out but thankfully he also made some of Kohno’s 4 and 5 Cubes and they are still available, so please drop by and grab some to play with.
Here's Eric's description from Cubicdissection:
“Three Cubes by Kohno Ichiro is an award-winning design placed in the top 10 2018 IPP Design Competition results. This pocket-sized puzzle is a ton of fun and remains a favorite. With only three identical pieces, this seemingly simple assembly puzzle may keep you busy for longer than you expect. The goal is to combine the pieces to create a stable assembly forming three distinct, equal-sized cubes. Complicating this task is the polarity of the powerful magnets embedded into pieces.
Once solved, the puzzle snaps into shape, resulting in a beautiful and entertaining fidget toy. Three cubes were only the beginning; Mr. Ichiro subsequently designed the Four Cubes and Five Cubes to create a set, with each puzzle escalating in difficulty.
Mr. Puzzle posted a great video review of Three Cubes”
