Nooooooooooooooooooooo. Come on ...Burrtools?!?!?! Nooooooooooooooooooooo. Come on guys. All the tools you need are in your tool box. Anyway, nice puzzles Kevin :)I particularly like the light box puzzle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553173329632006629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-39972228478067070832012-07-23T19:53:34.173+01:002012-07-23T19:53:34.173+01:00Try also this: can you make a 2x3x5 rectangular so...Try also this: can you make a 2x3x5 rectangular solid using 6 pieces, none of which are mirror images of each other? If so then this immediately solves both problems I suggested (simply take the same solution in the mirror and assemble it with the other 6 pieces)! This is the kind of question that it is hard to answer with Burrtools, but I think it may be possible. It is definitely possible to create two 2x3x5 rectangular solids with the pieces.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140920751826036814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-807003322914375532012-07-23T19:03:16.955+01:002012-07-23T19:03:16.955+01:00I'm glad to see that you enjoy using Burrtools...I'm glad to see that you enjoy using Burrtools as much as I do. It actually never occurred to me to try these other shapes! When I get the courage to take it apart again I'll have to try it!Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649523779226834414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-89792751107335490972012-07-22T23:32:14.944+01:002012-07-22T23:32:14.944+01:00Bonus!

The latter might be "easiest" because it is only 2 thick. But working with 3D pieces is never easy.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140920751826036814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3341941751324943000.post-68237976996832246142012-07-22T23:16:02.270+01:002012-07-22T23:16:02.270+01:00It looks like "Twin Pentominoes" are non...It looks like "Twin Pentominoes" are non-planar polycubes made from an L-triomino glued to a two-cube piece (domino). Twelve (all) 3D pieces makes things difficult. Are all the pieces mirror image pairs? This might help (a little).<br /><br />Incidentally, if you use the 12 "normal" (i.e. planar) pentominoes BurrTools says there is no solution packing them in this "Light Box". A classical puzzle is to pack these 12 "normal" pentominoes in a 3x4x5 box. Have you tried packing your pieces in a 3x4x5 box??Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10140920751826036814noreply@blogger.com
