Puzzle Cube Challenge


This is the answer to my puzzle


This was a great project that was very fun and had a lout of hands on interaction that was very insperational.

How many individual puzzle pieces are possible for 3, 4, 5 and 6 cubes?

I got a total of about 3combos for 3 blocks
and for 4 blocks I got abot I think 7 or so combos
and for 5 blocks I got about 24 combos
and for 6 blocks I got alout 30 somethings combos



2) 2 or More Puzzle Cube Solutions
• Use your 27 cubes and tape to model at least two possible cube solutions.
• Solutions must adhere to our Criteria and Constraints.
• Record the puzzle pieces for each of your solutions on isometric paper.
• Use the shading techniques we've learned for isometric drawings.
• Choose a solution and specify why you selected it.

3) Build Your Cube
• Use Elmer's glue to glue up the pieces of your chosen solution.
• Color each piece of your cube a distinct color using our class crayons.

4) Step By Step Instructions
• Using isometric paper, create step by step instructions that shows how to solve your cube.
• Each step must show the assembly from the previous step and how the next piece fits in with them ("x+y=z").
• Use the shading techniques we've learned for isometric drawings.

5) CAD Modelling
• Create an assembly of each of your pieces in Inventor.
• Create an assembly of your entire cube in Inventor.
• Create Multiview drawings of each of your pieces in Inventor.
• Create an explosion of your cube assembly in an Inventor Presentation (.ipn) file.
• Animate your explosoion. Make sure you sequence the movement of your pieces so that they don't overlap each other while in motion.
• Record your animation and post the video to your blog.
Draw as many as you can with a 1:1 ratio of squares to cubes on isometric graph paper.
