ABSTRACT:
A cubic puzzle construction utilizes a mathematical technique of dissecting a physical cube into a finite number of pieces to yield a block puzzle capable of the illusion of matter being created and destroyed. The component pieces are assembled in two different ways to produce the same cubic shape. However, one method of assembly requires the use of an additional piece or pieces while the second method omits these. In both methods the rigid pieces fit easily, without gaps or overlaps, to completely fill the same rigid container.
