Hoffman Soma By Oskar

Hi Non-Twisty Puzzles fans,

Hoffman Soma is a variantion to Haym Hisch' Inelegant Soma puzzle. It is a Soma-Cube puzzle based on the famous Hoffman's packing puzzle from 1978. This puzzle has 27 cubes of sizes axbxc. The object of that puzzle is to pack them into a cube with sides a+b+c. In 2004, Donald Knuth showed that actually 28 pieces fit, if you make them 3x4x5. That version, produced by George Miller in 2005, was called Perfect Packing. The Hoffman Soma takes Hoffman's original packing puzzle, and glues pieces together to make Soma pieces.
