The result is trickier than I ...

This time we have a 3x3x3 cube to be constructed and two HUGE diagonally opposite windows to put p...

Dr. Volker Latussek wrote about it:“I have been thinking and working on FERMAT for more than two years. I had initially planned a puzzle with a box typical for me: a square base and centred opening and three triangles. Preferably equilateral triangles. Despite considerable effort, I could not find discover an exciting solution. So I switched to isosceles triangles, in the end the 45 degree angle imposed itself. The side lengths of the three triangles now had to be chosen in such a way that the...
