I have one of those

Love giving it to people to work out xD

The best part is that it is practically invincible! So it's great to hand around to anyone without constantly keeping one eye on them at all times.

The guy who sells them is very helpful as well. I got a small 0.8x0.8x0.8 with my logo on which looks great as well as the larger plain one with the tap to open.

Xmas Presents 2011 by Puzzleparadox, on Flickr

Soooooo many puzzles to write about!!!

Special attention should be given to the big Soma Cube which was knitted by my other half's mum! What an awesome present!

So do I. That's definitely one for the padded cell....

Wish my relatives could find and buy me puzzles. They always get stuck on the simple cheapies that take 10s to solve, and then are angry I did them so quickly.

Sorry have to say it again. I love that knitted one. Looks so tempting just sitting there

Guys, I know I am not the only one who loved the look of that knitted puzzle Oli got.

Heres his review :3

After some keen observation from George and Chris, it turns out that due to an irregular piece it is not a Soma Cube but a different puzzle entirely! It's quite lucky that with the piece changed it actually still works as a puzzle.

Chris worked out that it has 323 assemblies as opposed to the Soma Cube's 240, so it should be easier in theory.

I'll have to add an amendment to my post later.

Either way.....KNITTED PUZZLE!!!
