Puzzle Cube Part 1

1 & 2) Identify the Problem & Constraints- For this project we were told we were helping make a new toy or fun activity for kids. We got a list of constraints to remember

• The Puzzle Cube must be fabricated from 27 1/4" hardwood cubes 
• The puzzle must contain exactly 5 puzzle pieces 
• Each puzzle piece must consist of at least 3, but no more than six hardwood cubes that are permanently attached to each other. 
• No 2 puzzle pieces can be the same. 
• The 5 puzzle pieces must assemble from a 2 1/4" cube. 
• Some puzzle parts should interlock. 

3) Brainstorming- When I began to brainstorm, I chose to make a different combinations consisting of 3, 4, 5, and 6 cubes. Here are some pictures so you can get an idea.
