| This puzzle is of a very interesting and
scanty kind of construction - puzzle, based on the connection of space mosaics with the
forms of polyhedrons. The only existing puzzle of the sort is Rubik's snake and it is
world-popular. |
| The BIG SERPENT puzzle has a wider range of
features. Playing with it is much more engaging and difficult. The reason is that, unlike
Rubik's snake (based on a simple cubic grating), the puzzle doesn't use usual orthogonal
axes. |
| Here is a few out of millenium of the shapes
The Big Serpent can turn into:
|
| Among the figures made during the game there
are many figures of a high grade of symmetry, such as cubic octahedron, pyramids etc., and
the number of less symmetric figures is really boundless. The total number of possible
shapes is around e+36. This drives us to the conclusion that the possibilities of our
puzzle are immense, which allows to reach concrete aims, leaving at the same time a vast
field for a free creative space designing. |
| The puzzle is complicated, requires
attention and assiduity.
Summing up, we'd like to notice that with all pointed advantages THE BIG SERPENT consists
of but two simple parts and is easily made. |
