Given the popularity of puzzles made up of squares joined together in different ways, it does not require too much imagination to realize that cubic blocks might be joined together in similar fashion to make three-dimensional puzzles. When measured in terms of the number of different assembly combinations possible for a given set of pieces, the cube must be the ultimate combinatorial building block. Add to that the fact that the pieces are easy to make, to visualize, to describe and to illustrate. They also pack nicely into a box or rest on a flat surface. No wonder they are so popular!
