Abstract
This puzzle cube project was to test our knowledge, creativity, and imagination. It shows how to solve and make a puzzle cube. By reading this you will be able to make a very challenging puzzle for you and your friends.































Introduction
For this project we created a puzzle cube. We made drawings and digitally made them on the computer using Auto Desk Inventor 2009. Then we put it together and had our puzzle complete.































Background

A furniture company has a bunch of scrap wood lying around. Instead of throwing it out they decided to make puzzles out of the scrap wood. I was given the task of designing this puzzle. I first was given the rules stating that you could only use 27 pieces, each piece must include 3-6 pieces, and every piece has to be different. Then creating the puzzle I used the trial and error method creating my pieces. Then I finally came up with my combination and chose my colors. After that rigorous annotation I finally put all my pieces together and started creating my puzzle. Then I followed the procedure to finish my project.
