28/30 - Shrinking Soma, another Soma Cube variation, great mechanical puzzle (spoilers) #shorts
20#shorts
In the 28th video in my 30 shorts in 30 days project, I will show you another variation of the Soma Cube that I really enjoyed is this Shrinking Soma by Dr. Volker Latussek. and how to solve it.
My version here is the 2nd edition with the white pieces. The goal is to use the standard 3 by 3 by 3 soma pieces to apparently fill the 4 by 4 by 4 box here, so that the top is fully filled and every piece stays in place even with vigorous shaking and tapping.
There are many solutions that can fill the top but are very unstable, and there should be only one solution that can withstand all the shaking.
This puzzle is built by Pelikan and the craftsmanship are top notch, the fit is superb and achieving the correct solved state is extremely satisfying. The pieces are also a standard soma cube so this is actually a 2-in-1 puzzle! Neat!
Hope you enjoy and subscribe for the next short!
