Three-dimensional logical cube

Abstract

A three-dimensional logical cube has 6 faces in the same configuration of Rubik's Cube (trademark). A three-dimensional logical cube has an N×N array of cells on each face. Each cell on a three-dimensional logical cube has a numerical value, solid and hollow dots, solid dots, or shapes, on it. A 2×2×2 cube has four numbers from 1 to 4 on its face; a 2×2×2 cube has two solid dots and two hollow dots with the same color on its face (2×2×2 alternate embodiment); a 2×2×2 cube has 1 dot to 4 dots on its cell (2×2×2 alternate embodiment); a 2×2×2 cube have same kind of shape on its face (2×2×2 alternate embodiment); a 3×3×3 cube has nine combination numbers between 1 to 12 on its face; a 3×3×3 cube has nine numbers from 1 to 9 on its face (3×3×3 alternate embodiment); a 3×3×3 cube has either a blank cell or a dot on its face (3×3×3 alternate embodiment); a 3×3×3 cube have same kind of shape on its face (3×3×3 alternate embodiment); a 4×4×4 cube has sixteen numbers from 1 to 16 on its face; and a 5×5×5 cube has twenty-five numbers from 1 to 25 on its face; The present three-dimensional logical cube when successfully solved, for numerical cell cubes, all six faces, and nine rows (six rows for 3×3×3 cubes) of adjacent cells located on four adjacent faces (two adjacent faces for 2×2×2 cube and three adjacent faces for 3×3×3 alternate embodiment) will have difference numerical numbers on its cell (no two numbers are alike); for shape cube, all six faces will have same shape for each cell on the same face; for solid and hollow dot cube, any faces will have the two solid dots and two hollow dots on its for all six faces; for solid only dot cube (3×3×3), any two opposite faces will have total of seven dots for all six faces; and solid only dot (2×2×2), each cell on the same face has 1 dot, 2 dots, 3 dots and 4 dots for all six faces, and four adjacent cells located around two faces will have 1 dot, 2 dots, 3 dots and 4 dots on its cell. The present three-dimensional logical cube is more challenging than the Rubik's Cube (trademark) with 2×2×2 the simplest logical cube to 3×3×3 challenge, 4×4×4 more challenge, and 5×5×5 which is the most challenge logical cube to solve.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]Over the years, various types of puzzles have been developed for the purpose of providing amusement and entertainment. One such amusement device has been the manipulative puzzle in which various puzzle pieces are manipulated to solve the puzzle to its desired pattern.[0002]One of the well known manipulable puzzles is the Rubik's Cube (trademark), a 3×3×3 puzzle cube comprising of 26 cubic elements and is connected together by a central element. It has 9 square cells on each side, for a total area of 54 cells. Each cubic element has one, two or three exposed cells. The puzzle pieces are manipulated to restore the mix color pattern to its original color. When the puzzle is solved, each side of the cube has a same color.[0003]The internal rotating structure for the 2×2×2 cube and 3×3×3 cube is described by reference to Rubik's Cube (trademark).[0004]Furthermore, the internal rotating structure for the 4×4×4, 5×5×5 or higher order arrays are described by...

[0014]It is another objective of the present invention to provide a 3×3×3 cube with: 3×3 array comprises 3 rows and 3 columns of cells for a total of 9 square cells, 26 rotatable elements, and 54 rotatable square cells. The 3×3×3 cube when successfully solved, the numerical value on each face will have different number for all six faces, and the numerical value on each row around all faces will have different number for six of nine rows.

[0015]It is another objective of the present invention to provide a 3×3×3 alternate embodiment cube with: 3×3 array comprises 3 rows and 3 columns of cells for a total of 9 square cells, 26 rotatable elements, and 54 rotatable square cells. The 3×3×3 cube when successfully solved, the numerical value on each face will have different number for all six faces and the numerical value on each row around three faces will have different number for six of nine rows.
