Dovetail Cube

Description

Dovetail Cube is a 2x2x2 puzzle cube that is held together by dovetail connections. I designed a first version of Dovetail Cube in the 1980's, based on a challenge by Prof van der Poel. Several other people have made dovetail-cube puzzles since then. This Dovetail Cube exposes the dovetails to the outside of the puzzle. The puzzle is hitting a sweet spot. It is fun to solve, not too hard, not too easy, and interesting near-misses.
