Puzzles

Did you ever wonder why the Rubik's Cube may be rotated in all 3 axes and still not moldered? Brain-twisters, especially 3D mechanical puzzles, always magically attract me for their mathematical beauty. :)

I have a humble collection of about 25 puzzles.

Update: sorry, this info is from many years ago. I currently have about 100 twisty puzzles, and much more extravagant. Will show them and redo this page soon. :)

There is an excelent page if you want to learn to solve Rubik-like puzzles. I have a mirror of it, since pages on the internet tend to come and go. Here are even more solution links.

On unix, xlock and xscreensaver do a lot of fun, including puzzle scrambling and solving, for example, run the following commands:

% xlock -mode rubik
% /usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/rubik -root
