Piet Hein is the man that invented it 1933. It's formed by 7 wooden pieces, all uniquely shaped, made of unit cubes that must be assembled in a 3x3x3 cube.
The pieces are not randomly made, instead they represent every possible conbination of 4 or fewer units (no convex shapes).
General view:
Objective:
As said earlier the objective is simple, assemble all the 7 pieces in a perfectly all balanced 3x3x3 cube.
Difficulty:
There's not much to say about the Soma Cube when it comes to difficulty because it's pretty straight forward the only thing that can hinder you is your own ability to solve it.
There are none although it is considered to be the 3D equivalent to polyominoes which we talk about in another post.
Benefits of the Soma Cube:
Plain and simple it's good for spatial thinking and awareness as well as entertaining.
Puzzler Approved!
