I love math puzzles, and with the help of Ken Irvine of NJ, we came up with the Math Snake idea. The idea is to rotate them until there is a correct equation on all 4 sides of the blocks. The equation is read from left to right, regardless of operation priority. There is a 7 block model and also a more difficult 9 block model. They are high quality all wood construction with deeply burned laser engraved numbers. The blocks stay as a string but will rotate individually. The 7 block model may look easy, but it's not as there are 1024 possible permutations of the blocks, but only ONE correct solution. The 9 block model is VERY difficult with 16, 384 possible permutations of the blocks but only ONE correct solution.
