Snake Cube Puzzle Solution

The snake cube puzzle is a chain of 27 cubes (3x3x3). The cubes are interconnected by an elastic string running through the middle of each cube. Each section contains two or three cubes. The goal of the puzzle is to arrange the chain in such a way that there will be a 3x3x3 cube. It's not as easy as it looks.

This is just the solution. My version was purchased from Amazon: http://amzn.to/2zYfU7K

I've included pictures for each step. You could also watch the video.

Look for the sections that have 3 cubes next to each other. This is the starting point for the successful completion of the puzzle.

Flip the interior triple section as shown. They will now be alongside each other.

Stand them upright where each end of the strands adjacent to the upright portion are on the table side (and not dangling in the air.)

Pretty easy from here. Its basically wrapping the strand around the core and filling in as you go.

FYI There is a lot of twisting at this step.

The final moves for the top of the cube are going to make the shape of a "U".

The last leg just rotates in place and you are done.

So, now you know!

I included a STP file if anyone wants to print a non-functional cube.
