As all puzzles it was scrambled within minutes after I brought it home. I tried to solve it, but for some reason I did not yet see how to bring it back in the shape of a cube. The next day when I came home from work it was in the shape of a cube. It appears that my 8 year old daughter had done that! Solving the remainder was fairly simple. Our four-year-old managed to assemble our Snafooz into a cube once. No one else has been able to do it, and he can't duplicate his success. (He can't even read.)
