Nine-Colour Cube other, there is no parity constraint; all of the above positions are attainable. The full number is therefore: Out of the 268 240 896 000 possible configurations, there are 80 that represent a solved puzzle. These solutions fall into three categories: Nine-Colour Cube The Nine-Colour Cube ("see below" for other names) is a cubic twisty puzzle. It was invented in 2005 by Milan Vodicka and mass-produced by Meffert's seven years later. Mechanically, the puzzle is identical to the Rubik's Cube; however, unlike the Rubik's Cube, which only has 6 different colours, the Nine-Colour Cube has 9 colours, with the individual
Unit cube Unit cube A unit cube, more formally a cube of side 1, is a cube whose sides are 1 unit long. The volume of a 3-dimensional unit cube is 1 cubic unit, and its total surface area is 6 square units. The term "unit cube" or unit hypercube is also used for hypercubes, or "cubes" in "n"-dimensional spaces, for values of "n" other than 3 and edge length 1. Sometimes the term "unit cube" refers in specific to the set [0, 1] of all "n"-tuples of numbers in the interval [0, 1]. The length of the longest diagonal of a
