This puzzle begins with 6 identical windmill shaped pieces. The different colors identify the puzzle’s layout. First form a 4x4x4 cube without 8 corner blocks. Then randomly join the 8 corner blocks to each piece to interlock the entire puzzle. Then take this 4x4x4 puzzle apart revealing 6 separate newly created pieces. Mix these pieces and try to assemble this puzzle. You can also try to change the windmill shapes or use the same color blocks to form the puzzle.
This puzzle is designed to promote creative thinking for 3rd grade to 5th grade students as well as beginner level puzzle players.
