📖 A Little History
The Soma Cube was invented by Danish mathematician Piet Hein in 1933 — legend has it he came up with the idea during a lecture on quantum mechanics. The original challenge is to assemble all 7 pieces into a 3×3×3 cube, a task that looks simple but has 240 distinct solutions. It's been a beloved puzzle classic for nearly a century, and for good reason.
