Our copywriter monkey will admit she both loves and hates puzzles. She enjoys figuring things out and the vast sense of accomplishment when a puzzle is defeated, but if she can't figure something out she'll throw a mental tantrum and lose sleep for weeks. Srsly, she'll have dreams about the puzzle and come in to work looking like a pink-haired zombie. If you are like her, the 36 Cube is not for you. You will probably lose sleep, friends, family, your job, and your house in the attempt to figure it out. Now that you've had the warning, read on...

The 36 Cube is a 3D sudoku puzzle that consists of a gray base that looks like a city skyline and 36 colored towers. The towers come in six different colors and six different heights. Your mission - should you accept it - is to place all the towers onto the base and form a level cube with each of the six colors appearing once and only once in each row and column. It seems simple until you get 34 of the 36 towers placed and then realize you've done something wrong and have to start all over again. What's even more unnerving - you can't solve this puzzle by writing a computer program to do the logic for you. You'll have to rely on your own brain, nerds. Good luck.
