Knight's Tour Cube
The pattern for the Closed Knight's Tour Cube was first seen in the June 1958
book called Amusements in Mathematics, a reproduction of the original 1917 works
of Henry Ernest Dudeney. It can also be seen in the 1970 expanded edition on page 229.
After re-illustrating the path pattern, I printed a copy of the tour on white 67 lb
cover paper which is light enough to go through almost any printer but strong enough
to make into a sturdy cube. I cut around the outside black boarder and dotted lines,
then carefully bent each side and tab along the dark black lines. I put a little bit
of Elmer's glue on each tab and glued all the sides into a cubic shaped box as shown below.
To see a nice 8x8x8 Closed Knight's Tour I designed on 11-19-2005, check out Closed Knight's Tour Cube.
On April 29, 2007, Awani Kumar from India has developed an exquisite Semi-Magic Knight's Tour cube. Also, Awani made a Knight's Tour on the surface of a cube similar to Dudeney's, yet it is semi-magic where all rows and columns add up to 1540 on each face of the cube.
Guenter Stertenbrink converted Awani Kumar's Semi Magic Knight's Tour Cube on April 30, 2007 to an Octal Knight's Tour Cube with octal digits ranging from 000 to 777 (511 decimal).
