About

The Cubedron is a puzzle consisting of a transparent ball containing only 5 pieces. The pieces are square pyramids that together form a cube. Each piece is one face of the cube, and the top face of the cube is missing. By tilting the ball, any of the side pieces can be shifted into the empty spot. Cubedron tiles The Cubedron has faces where the edges have four different colours, and the pieces are supposed to be placed so that where two pieces share an edge, their colours should match. All pieces use the same four colours but in a different orders so that the pieces are all unique. There are six possible unique tiles with four colours, and the puzzle simply uses five of them. There are two solutions, but only one is reachable without using dexterity. Cybedron tile The Cybedron is a variation of the Cubedron which has identical pieces with only two colours. It has two solutions, both reachable without any dexterity skills. The puzzle was designed and patented by Pantazis Houlis, WO 2010/064994, published 10 June 2010.
