notes: label: Description
content: This model is of twenty-seven small wooden cubes arranged to form a large cube. The six sides of each cube are painted different colors - yellow, red, silver, blue, green and gold - although the colors are not uniformly opposite one another. They are arranged so that all the faces on each side of the large cube are of the same color. The small cubes are glued together to form one 1 x 1x 1 cube, one 2 x 2 x 2 cube, three 2 x 2x1 blocks and three 2 x 1x 1 blocks - in other words, the pieces of the puzzle are the same as those of cube root block. Mr. Farrel made the puzzle about twenty years before he donated it to the Smithsonian.
