Soma cube cube problem. There are 240 distinct solutions of the Soma cube puzzle, excluding rotations and reflections: these are easily generated by a simple recursive backtracking search computer program similar to that used for the eight queens puzzle. Current world record for the fastest time to solve a soma cube is 2.93 seconds and was set by Krishnam Raju Gadiraju, India. The seven Soma pieces are six polycubes of order four, and one of order three: Piet Hein authorized a finely crafted rosewood version of the Soma cube manufactured by Theodor Skjøde Knudsen's company Skjøde Skjern (of Denmark).

Magic cube classes Frost referred to all but the simple class as Nasik cubes. <br>The smallest normal diagonal magic cube is order 5. See Diagonal magic cube. Minimum correct summations required = 3"m" + 6"m" + 4 All 4m pantriagonals must sum correctly (that is 4 one-segment, 12("m"-1) two-segment, and 4("m"-2)("m"-1) three-segment). There may be some simple AND/OR pandiagonal magic squares, but not enough to satisfy any other classification. <br>The smallest normal pantriagonal magic cube is order 4. See Pantriagonal magic cube. <br>Minimum correct summations required = 7"m". All pan-"r"-agonals sum correctly for "r" = 1 and 3. A cube of this class
