Cube thirty-six
The Cube 36 is a three-dimensional puzzle. It consists of a base plus 36 colored towers. The towers come in six different colors and six different heights. The goal is to place all towers onto the base with each of the six colors appearing once in each row and column. All towers should have the same level at the end.
Solution:
if the base had the six different heights of the towers once in each row and column there would be no solution. So the puzzle can only be solved by a trick.
Two towers are different from the others of the same height and will fit on certain parts of the base they normally won't fit on.
This subtle modification leads in fact to 96 solutions.
Never the less, it will drive you crazy to find the start. If you once found it, it's easy.
