      I found that if I modeled this correctly, I would get a perfect square. Late Password Host Allen Ludden -- the most perfect square I know. 🤣

      If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

          We should propose to Google to update the elevation maps so that it fits better into this packaging:

            They say a cube is just an infinite number of squares stacked together.

                              You guys blow me away with your advanced shape modeling. Maybe, on day, after I've mastered the line, I'll be able to catch up.

                                      I almost got it. I just can't get the last piece to fit into the others. Plus I have a few pieces left over 😕

                                          Here's a 'Soma Cube' Puzzle to keep you amused.
                                          There are 48 symmetries and 1,195,020 different ways of making a 3x3x3 cube with these pieces, but there are only 240 independent ways !
                                          One of them has already been done for you...
                                          The faces' colors aren't important - they can be 'mixed' - just there to help see what you are doing...
                                          You just have to find one, or two... 😄SomaCube.pngSomaCube.skp
