The "Puzzle Magic" and
"Sports Magic" Puzzles
Just presenting two simple 4-tile magics which have some interesting
feature... they are always solved!!! More specifically, it is
well known that 4-tile magics have a total of 8 positions. So what I
did here, was to ensure that one of the four corners of the front side
or one of the four corners of the back side (eight corner choices in
total, which is equal to the different states) will always be solved.
Therefore, the puzzle is always solved!!! (Plus, either the front side
is solved or the back side, as
I made sure that there are no overlapping solutions). Puzzles presented in the corners
of each tile are: Megaminx, Rubik's Clock, Magic Domino, Astrolabacus
(front side), and Impossiball, Skewb, Rainbow Puck, Dogic (back side).
For those who want to create this puzzle by themselves (something that I greatly encourage), you may use the template of the puzzle magic HERE!!!! (three different colored themes!) :-) |
To build these puzzles you will need some strings, plastic tiles, and some
nice paper tiles.
For information of how to connect/number the tiles and the strings, visit
two brilliant articles here

Please let me know of any comments or suggestions. Thanks! :-)
