I came across the Sloyd^3 puzzle (presumably named for Sam Loyd) from Prust Interactive on Passion for Puzzles. The game reminds me of chinese checkers played on a 3D Logic cube. It’s the kind of puzzle that anyone who is willing to spend a few minutes will solve. The trick is to solve it in the 45 moves that is claimed to be the minimum. The puzzle is a nice simple diversion.
