Snake cube Snake cube The snake cube is a mechanical puzzle, a chain of 27 or 64 cubelets, connected by an elastic band running through them. The cubelets can rotate freely. The aim of the puzzle is to arrange the chain in such a way that they will form 3 x 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 x 4 cube. A variation on the puzzle is a Kibble cube, which is also a string of cubes but has slots on the cubes. There are also many different styles of the cube. It can be made up of wood or plastic and
Cube root Cube root In mathematics, a cube root of a number "x" is a number "y" such that "y" = "x". All real numbers (except zero) have exactly one real cube root and a pair of complex conjugate cube roots, and all nonzero complex numbers have three distinct complex cube roots. For example, the real cube root of 8, denoted , is 2, because 2 = 8, while the other cube roots of 8 are −1 + "i" and −1 − "i". The three cube roots of −27"i" are The cube root operation is not distributive with addition or subtraction. In
