Bram's Square

Buy at http://www.shapeways.com/model/100432/bram_s_square.html Copyright (c) 2010, M. Oskar van Deventer & Bram Cohen. Bram's Square is an idea by Bram Cohen. Take a 3x4 rectangle of which each of the 3x3 sub-squares can be rotated. Well, actually, Bram wanted a 5x6 rectangle, but even a 3x4 would already be extremely difficult to solve. The movement is slide-turn-slide-slide, repeat ...

This puzzle was 3D-printed using nylon-powder SLS technology, which explains its price. It is the very first prototype, costing its designer and maker a lot of money to create. Please do not confuse it for a cheap mass-produced puzzle.

I think this is easy to do without shapeways: maybe i will try to make it by myself

[OskarPuzzle]

@ZanteF12R Great. Please publish the result.

[ZanteF12R]

@OskarPuzzle Oh yes a question, even if it has 2 colors horizontally, the pieces cannot be splitted right? I mean, if you take the square down, and you turn it of 90 degrees, then when you go up again you can move only of 2 lines, not a single one, right?

[OskarPuzzle]

@ZanteF12R Correct, these pieces are all squares.

Excluding the surprise cube (The cube you can put something in the middle of), this is my favorite one of your inventions.
