The Soma Cube


The "Soma Cube" is a puzzle consisting of 7 pieces that can be arranged in different ways. I made this page after reading a posting in the rec.puzzles group with a link to a web page about Soma Cubes.
Many a web page have been written about this puzzle, you can use Google to find more. I got a Soma cube with a cover in which the cube can be built, you can see the pieces in this picture:



Here are a few puzzles for you:

  • Build a three units wide "stairs" that goes up and then down. It's in the picture below (yes, I know that the picture will give some hints how it is done)


  • Build it inside the cover so that one small cube is sticking out of each hole. It should be possible to pick it all up by the top cube.
