The GeoCube
The GeoCube is a magnetic geometric puzzle that can be transformed between different shapes.
There are more than 70 distinct shapes that the GeoCube can be transformed into.
Among those there exist 6 major shapes that will fall into place.
These major shapes are listed here in the order they are created in the tranformation, beginning with the Cube.
For ease of use and communication we decided to give names to the different shapes
1 The Cube
The beginning of the journey.
6 Sides
8 Corners
12 Vertices
36 Magnets
Only one "movement" away from the Cube. This Shape can be seen as a 3 dimensional representation of the Star of David
2 The Star
3 The Hive
A hexagonal tiling as it can be seen in the honeycombs of beehives. The opposite side resembles half of a Cube
A Triangular Shape of beautiful simplicity. The backside resembles the "negative space" of a Cube
4 The UFO
The Ball - or technically speaking, the Rhombic Dodecahedron.
It is the inverse of the GeoCube - meaning the Cube has literally been turned inside out.
This shape has twice the Volume of a Cube
5 The Sphere
Half of the Rhombic Dodecahedron.
