Enemy Mine

Click a thumbnail to see its larger version and description.
This puzzle has a very personal background: The inventor dislikes jumbling puzzles because they tend to end up with very spiky odd shapes that hurt his hands. As a kind of personal confrontation therapy the inventor made this spiky but doctrinaire puzzle. The Enemy Mine is a lightly re-stickered piece-swap between a Truncated Face-Turning Octahedron and a Rex Cube. The swapped pieces are not quite identical at the feet, so the puzzle requires a little more effort than usual to turn, adding to the generally unpleasant experience when making turns. The name is a nod towards the 1985 SciFi movie of the same name.
