Dino Cube first mass-produced version had pictures of dinosaurs depicted on each piece, which led to the adoption of the puzzle's current name of "Dino Cube". It is not known what the puzzle had been called before this dinosaur version was introduced. The later versions, however, adopted the practice of using standard single-colour stickers, in common with most other twisty puzzles. The Dino Cube is a twisty puzzle in the shape of a cube. It consists of 12 movable pieces, all of which are located on the edges of the cube. The puzzle can be thought of as twisting around its corners:
Snub cube plus signs, where "t" ≈ 1.83929 is the tribonacci constant. Taking the even permutations with an odd number of plus signs, and the odd permutations with an even number of plus signs, gives a different snub cube, the mirror image. Taking all of them together yields the compound of two snub cubes. This snub cube has edges of length "α", a number which satisfies the equation and can be written as To get a snub cube with unit edge length, divide all the coordinates above by the value "α" given above. The "snub cube" has two special orthogonal projections, centered,
