Hoje fui às compras com a minha filha num supermercado grande e, em cima de uns caixotes, reparei num Cubo de Rubik abandonado. Estava baralhado e, porque sou esse tipo de pessoa, peguei nele e comecei a fazê-lo. Logo nos primeiros passos reparei que tinha sido apanhado numa armadilha: é impossível fazer este cubo 🙂

@nervous_jessica makes the best #puzzles! This one, when assembled, is a playable #chess board.

As an aside, the cut and stained pieces smell amazing, opening the box is a full* sensory experience.

* well okay I haven't tasted them... yet...

A tabletop with a puzzle box and pile of pieces. The box shows the completed puzzle, which looks like a chess board. The pieces are made of 1/4 inch plywood, and are stained in light and dark shades of brown. The shapes of the pieces are quite irregular, not at all like the squarish shapes common with most puzzles.
A closeup of jumbled puzzle pieces, matching the description on the previous image. At this detail, we can see that the edges are swirls, curves, and mushroom shaped protrusions.
The completed puzzle, which is a chess board. The chess pieces have been removed from the border and placed on the board.
A closeup of the center of the completed puzzle. The center piece is shaped like a head, and has a brain inside that's a separate piece. All pieces fit together with a very high degree of precision.

Hi folks,

Just a quick reminder that August's #Bletchley & #MK #MathsJam is:

- *tomorrow*: Tuesday 22nd!
- at Brewhouse and Kitchen in Central Milton Keynes (close to the theatre, *not* to be mixed up with the Midsummer Tap which is very close and has "pub and kitchen" on the sign!).
- From 7pm

Bringing yourself is an absolute must, and any #mathematical #ideas, #conundrums, #puzzles, #tidbits, #games, #books, #toys or #tales are encouraged but completely optional.

If you're able to let me know if you're intending to come I'd appreciate it, otherwise just turn up. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

See you there,

Tom

@Zotmeister @Mnaudin
I did say the *most naive* first guess, so I based the range on 1023^(1/2) and 987654^(1/3). As you point out this can be considerably improved.
My point was that computationally it would be practically instantaneous to find any solutions if I could be arsed to write the code. :-)
Actually, it might be interesting to see how it works in other number bases. (I'm not a big fan of 10-centric problems.)

Vertex slitherlink... or not.
https://thegriddle.net/956

I recently familiarized myself with this slitherlink variant where you clue corners rather than edges, and made some. But then, for a logic showcase, I made one where you have to determine whether a clue is regular or vertex. Link above -- enjoy!

Petits #puzzles (environ 12cm) avec des détails scientifiques cachés sous l'animal (empreintes, noms des petits, cri, alimentation...)
3 modèles dispo : #lapin, #grenouille et #hérisson, déclinable pour toute espèce !

I got myself a new 5x5, the YJ MGC magnetic model, I had not gotten myself a new cube since like 2019 and this thing moves faster than my 3x3 somehow. To be fair I have to clean it up, it's been a while.

Sub 3 minutes, I had not practiced in ages, I feel like I can be sub 2:30 today with how dirty my solves are right now

In honor of the new world record for Rubik’s Cube solving set by Max Park this week, a total of 3.13 seconds, here is the tiniest cube I’ve ever seen.

It really moves, it’s so cute I almost cried, and now it has a special place in my desk drawer so that it doesn't get lost or swept away by a gentle breeze or something

Evey's "helping" with the medallion hunt search as we head out for the 7th day of the game 🐾 🗺️

In previous years, the medallion was found on day 9 (2022) and day 10 (2020), so it may still be a little early. But it's always helpful to get the lay of the land in advance!

Plus we get to see tons of spaces around Oregon that are totally new to us—which is the true fun of the experience every year

Tea time and a puzzle, a find from the neighborhood puzzle library (such a fun discovery in itself! It's usually used for jigsaw puzzle swapping)

This one's the Cast O'Gear from Hanayama Metal Puzzles, an award-winning puzzle created by Dutch designer Oskar van Deventer. I'm just okay at mechanical puzzles like this so it's fun to have a chance to play around with this one and get a feel for how it works

A cup of tea next to a metal mechanical puzzle. The puzzle is a cube with openings on each face, and a five-pointed star-shaped object that rolls around the exterior of the box, inserting tabs into the open holes
