AQUBE 3-D Puzzle. The AQube is a unique three-dimensional logic puzzle consisting of 32 interlocking pieces that when assembled form a three inch cube. The object is to mix up the pieces and then re-assemble them into a cube. Sounds easy – it’s not. Many have compared the new cube puzzle to Rubik’s. The varying posts and holes on each block much match up exactly side to side as well as above and below leaving smooth sides all around. The challenge is in the rotation in three-dimensional space. The puzzle teaches pattern forming and hand-eye coordination while being addicting and fun. Assembling the AQube promotes logical thinking and helps maintain brain function. The puzzle comes in a variety of color combinations and post, hole and block configurations that allow for each puzzle set to be unique. The AQube is a manufactured from sturdy ABS plastic consisting of 32 interlocking pieces that when assembled form a three by three by three-inch cube. It is ten ounces in weight. It comes with a bag for unassembled puzzle and a solution set for those who need some help to solve the puzzle. The puzzle comes in a variety of color combination and post, hole and block configurations that allow for differing difficulty levels. The AQube was derived from the mathematical principle of pairing and each piece’s uniqueness from binary equations. The original idea consisted of 32 unique pieces but proved quite difficult to solve. The production issue was simplified to 16 unique pairs and allowed for rotation of layers. There are currently seven variations in production. Each puzzle can be used as a learning tool to demonstrate how large problems can be solved by breaking the process down to simpler problems. One can separate the corners and similar pieces to form sets and then show how each set or piece corresponds with the other.
