By far, the most difficult puzzle we've ever come across! We know of only one adult able to solve the puzzle, although one of our kid-testers did manage to come quite close (34 out of 36 correctly placed). Imagine a three dimensional Suduko puzzle and you have a pretty good idea of the difficulty of this puzzle. Like a Suduko puzzle, there are six each of six different colours (rather than numbers) to position on the grid. The difference is that for this puzzle, you also have the added - 3rd - dimension of height to worry about. Each of the six same coloured pieces needs to fitted onto its own matching height of column, so that when the puzzle is solved, all towers are the same height. What all this means is that instead of having six different places you could position a given coloured piece, for this puzzle there is only one possible spot for each piece. Ridiculously challenging!
For Serious puzzlers... How many towers can YOU place? Your goal is to place the 36 colored towers onto the puzzle base following two simple rules: there must be one and only one of each colored tower in each row and column, and the towers must fit in the base to form a perfect cube shape with all towers at the same height. Keep trying, see how many towers you can place before YOU get stuck! The 36 Cube is a diabolical challenge. Placing 20 towers correctly is hard. Placing 31 towers correctly makes you a puzzle rock star. Completely c=solving the 36 Cube is nearly impossible! We dare you to try!
