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.
Mine is crafted with Rhomb Dodecahedrons, that are equivalent for this puzzle
5, all distint.
