The Bedlam Cube


The Bedlam cube is a solid dissection puzzle invented by Bruce Bedlam. The puzzle consists of thirteen polycubic pieces: twelve pentacubes and one tetracube. The objective is to assemble these pieces into a 4 x 4 x 4 cube. Although this puzzle has an enormous number of solutions, it's a hell of a job to find one!! For more info about this cubic puzzle visit: Official bedlam puzzle site


So far we have only looked at the external sides of the solutions. Now we will investigate internal sides and patterns. A cube can be cut into two identical halves in 3 directions: x, y and z (see picture). For each direction you get 2 cutting surfaces (internal sides). These sides have also a certain pattern.

Below you see one internal side pattern of one of the solutions (white = any color). Some solutions have an inner side pattern that includes all 13 pieces!


Steps to find the cords of this cache:
  • Download the solver. This solver computes all solutions within approximately 10 minutes.
  • Solver number of the solution with the shown internal side?
  • How many solutions have at least 1 inner side that contains all 13 pieces?
  • Mutiply these two numbers and add 623508.
  • Last six digits = ABCDEF
  • Location cache: N 51°20.ABC' E 006°02.DEF'
Park your vehicle at the given coordinates and approach the cache.
Pretty difficult and rough terrain!


Begging for help or mercy is useless!
