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
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
