Soma Cube
A solid Quantum Mechanics 
byWerner Heisenberg. 
There are seven soma pieces composed of all the irregularface-joined cubes (Polycubes) with 
cubes. The object is to assemble the pieces into aCube. There are 240 essentially distinct ways of doing so (Beeler et al. 1972, Berlekamp et al. 1982), asfirst enumerated one rainy afternoon in 1961 by J. H. Conway and Mike Guy.
A commercial version of the cube colors the pieces black, green, orange, white, red, and blue. When the 48 symmetries ofthe cube, three ways of assembling the black piece, and 
ways of assembling the green, orange, white, red, and bluepieces are counted, the total number of solutions rises to 1,105,920.
