PUZZLE

Here, I would like to show some puzzles on my desk.

Puzzle #1 "Rubik's Revenge"

This may be one of the most famous puzzle in the world, "Rubik's Revenge", which is a 4*4 version of "Rubik's Cube". The aim of the puzzle is to make each face the same color. I think the puzzle is very good for thinking about symmetry operation of crystals (unfortunately not for quasicrystals)

Puzzle #2 "IICHIKO"

This is "IICHIKO". The aim of the puzzle is to resolve them and pull the stick out of the bottle of IICHIKO (SHOCHU; japanese spirits distilled from wheat).

Puzzles I just got

GOT !

I just got these puzzles. These are Alexander's star, Megaminxs, Prof.Cube, Impossiball. I am grateful to Jo for his help.

Puzzle #3 "Pyraminx"

The aim of the puzzle is to make each face the same color. Easier than Rubik's cubes, but looks very beautiful.

Puzzle #3 "Doraemon"

This is more diffucult than the ordinary 3*3*3 Rubik's cube, becuase the sense of the central tile on each face is involved.
