This puzzle consists of fourteen edge-beveled cubes (truncated rhombic dodecahedra) which are joined to make five puzzle pieces. They pack into a cubic box, build a square pyramid, rectangular pyramid, and with one piece omitted a triangular pyramid. Another amusing thing they do is pack neatly into the box with one block left over. A variation of this puzzle made with spheres by Prof. van der Poel is shown in Creative Puzzles of the World, page 85. The puzzle is called also Leftover Block Puzzle.
