NOTE: PLEASE ORDER THIS MODEL TWICE, AS THE COMPLETE PUZZLE HAS TWO OF THESE PARTS.
Markus Ball is a variation on a puzzle design by Markus Goetz. Markus' original design was a 2x2x2 cube, built from four parallel 1x1x2. Markus' challenge was that opposite 1x1x2's were connected. So how can such a puzzle come apart? Here is a modified version of this puzzle, turned into a tennis ball. Markus Ball is an easy fun puzzle. It has eight 3x3-mm cylinder magnets to have it click together.
