Cobra Twist

3D snakes

 

40 puzzles in four different levels of difficulty demand, in analogy to the mechanisms already used in Cobra Cubes, to form one or several snakes. Each of the puzzle cards shows a base area of 3 x 3 squares and a different number of snake parts, which must be included in the snake(s) formed. The four cubes in yellow, red, blue and green show straight and bent parts, snake heads and snake tails, but not every cube shows all those parts, and the parts are not always connected. An elliptical positioning device is placed so that the triangular gap points away from you and then you place the puzzle card with its number into that gap; this ensures that you have the correct and necessary viewing angle for the puzzle. Each puzzle shows the colors of the cubes you must use and the number of snakes that you must form, complete with head and tail, and separate from each other! Three of the cubes show a snake head, a fourth one is sometimes pictured on the card, but the maximum number of snakes demanded is three.

You place the necessary cubes onto the black squares on the puzzle card, in the difficulty levels of A and B those squares show the colors of the cubes, in level C and D the colors are not marked. You turn and stack the cubes until you have formed the necessary number of snakes, from head to tail. Level D demands an additional condition; all snakes must be visible in a 360° turn.

In this second edition of the snake cubes the snakes are again a real challenge for your abilities in logical thinking and spatial imagination, a real tidbit for fans of logical thinking and abstract challenges.
