 		New Interlocking 3D Cube puzzle - "SOMA's Revenge"
New Twist on the Classic SOMA Cube Puzzle
I have designed a new type of puzzle that is a twist on the Classic SOMA cube puzzle. This puzzle has the same challenges as the original SOMA cube puzzle plus many more. Where the classic SOMA cube has 7 solid parts SOMA's Revenge has 14 parts that are wireframe outlines. The 7 inner parts are smaller and will fit into the 7 outer parts in various ways. You can use the inner parts to interlock multiple outer parts together. This is different from the classic SOMA cube which did not have any interlocking pieces. The ultimate challenge for this puzzle is to build a cube with the outer parts, with the inner parts forming a cube inside of them, and with all the parts interlocking.

This is a new puzzle and no one has ever found an interlocking cube solution. To make this fun, I am starting a prize contest for the first person to come up with an interlocking cube solution. The first prize is a $50 gift certificate for Shapeways.com ( Thanks Shapeways for helping to sponsor the contest). You can also enter with partial solutions since there is a 2nd place prize drawing from these entries. This prize is any model from my Shapeways shop.

The contest starts today; August 10, 2012 and runs till the end of the year. Full contest details and rules are on my "SOMA's Revenge"

[spam links removed - PM MazeMan if you want more information - kona]

You enter the contest by submitting a Youtube video with your solution as a video response to my "SOMA's Revenge" Puzzle Cube Solution Contest video.

Feel free to post some comments on what you think of this new type of interlocking SOMA puzzle.

Good Luck if you take up the interlocking cube challenge.

 		I had a request to extend the contest to allow people getting "SOMA's Revenge" as Christmas presents time to enter. So I have extended the contest to the end of January 2013. The drawing prize for partial solutions will be done shortly after. Also no one has come up with a fully interlocked solution yet, so the Grand prize is still up for grabs.

Good Luck and Best Regards

P.S. No one has come up with a fully interlocked solution yet, so the prizes are still up for grabs in the contest.

Best Regards

 		Sorry, Steve. uF is not a forum for advertising your products for sale.
This is a forum for discussing chaotic fiction and alternate reality games, sometimes helping eachother solve puzzles. But not post "for sale" items.

Thank you.
Locking this thread & removing links that would be considered "spam".
