Diabolical cube seven and nine pieces respectively. However, writes that the diabolical cube appears to be the oldest puzzle of this type, first appearing in an 1893 book "Puzzles Old and New" by Professor Hoffmann (Angelo Lewis). Because all of the pieces have only a single layer of cubes, their shape is unchanged by a mirror reflection, so a mirror reflection of a solution produces either the same solution or another valid solution. The puzzle has 13 different solutions, if mirrored pairs of solutions are not counted as being distinct from each other. Diabolical cube The diabolical cube is a three-dimensional dissection
9-cube 9-cube In geometry, a 9-cube is a nine-dimensional hypercube with 512 vertices, 2304 edges, 4608 square faces, 5376 cubic cells, 4032 tesseract 4-faces, 2016 5-cube 5-faces, 672 6-cube 6-faces, 144 7-cube 7-faces, and 18 8-cube 8-faces. It can be named by its Schläfli symbol {4,3}, being composed of three 8-cubes around each 7-face. It is also called an enneract, a portmanteau of tesseract (the "4-cube") and "enne" for nine (dimensions) in Greek. It can also be called a regular octadeca-9-tope or octadecayotton, as a nine-dimensional polytope constructed with 18 regular facets. It is a part of an infinite family of
