The floppy cube is a twisty puzzle that provides a simpler entry into the ever expanding class of moveable-part puzzles. It is a 3x3x1 cube where you rotate the edges. It comes in two variants: a normal Floppy Cube where you can only rotate the edges 180°, and a Super Floppy Cube you can rotate an edge 90°. This enables it to form a number of interesting shapes, as you can see in the picture.
This puzzle was designed by Katsuhiko Okamoto and won the 2009 Puzzle of the Year Award (Puzzlers' Award and Jury Grand Prize) at Nob Yoshigahara Puzzle Design Competition at the International Puzzle Party.
