description Bedlam Cube Overview
The Bedlam Cube is a three-dimensional assembly puzzle invented by Bruce Bedlam in 1982. It comprises thirteen uniquely shaped polycube pieces, each constructed by joining unit cubes along their faces in different configurations. The challenge is to fit all thirteen pieces into a 4×4×4 cube, a task with multiple valid solutions. Unlike interlocking puzzles with a single assembly sequence, the Bedlam Cube is a packing problem.
It has been marketed commercially under several names and remains a notable entry in the category of polycube puzzles.
