Lunchtime Spatial Puzzle
March 12th, 2008
I found this neat little puzzle last night. The challenge is to build a 3D representation of the plans given with a set number of blocks. Seems easy at first, until you realise that the number of blocks available is grossly fewer than you expect, and you have to rethink your plan. A few hints – blocks can float in mid-air if needed, and my strategy was to build a working model and then remove superfluous blocks until I hit the target.
Don’t be put off by the warning that the puzzles ‘are not easy’ – I finished all 10 in the time it took me to drink a can of imported lager. Of course, I could have been experiencing the Ballmer Peak.

Didn’t take me too long either. Oddly enough, the only level I couldnt do was level one.

Brandon: four sets of three blocks. Two top corners, and opposite bottom corners.
Pretty easy here, too. I didn’t like that you could fill in over the amount and get a green dot, but yellow dots meant it was correct.
