Nine-Colour Cube 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 pieces having one colour each. The puzzle is known under several different names. Milan Vodicka, the inventor, initially gave it the name "Nine-Colour Scramble Cube", which reflected the key feature and the "de facto" objective of the puzzle. This name was
Rubik's Cube of masters 3D printed, which then are copied using moulding and casting techniques to create the final puzzle. Other Rubik's Cube modifications include cubes that have been extended or truncated to form a new shape. An example of this is the Trabjer's Octahedron, which can be built by truncating and extending portions of a regular 3×3. Most shape mods can be adapted to higher-order cubes. In the case of Tony Fisher's Rhombic Dodecahedron, there are 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, and 6×6 versions of the puzzle. Puzzles like the Rubik's Cube can be simulated by computer software, which provide functions such as
