hi there
 
 
hope you can help me out, i got this puzzle around 6 years ago in
Blackpool, UK. and i cant find the shop anymore, so i think its closed
down.
 
after being searching the net with no luck, i came across your site,
and im hoping that you might know something.
 
it's 4x4x4 cubed, each cube is 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 1.5cm, plastic, black
and white, it should have on each face, when assembled, a 2x2 black
square with a white "border" around. have a look at the pictures, not
the best, but its what i could do with a webcam.

(sorry its the best i could do for now, click on either play or next
picture, if you have IE)
 
the two main reasons im asking you, is that
 
1, a few of my firends want a puzzle like it, and i will not give mine
away, and also i would like others like it, but i havent had the luck
to find the puzzle or one like it since, both online and in shops in
France, England, Denmark.
 
2, and since i have lost the original box it came in, and therefor the
compny name and the name of the puzzle and i haven't had any luck in
assembling the puzzle since i got it, i would like to have a look at
one that is assembled or get a copy of the solution, its going on 7
years so i think its about time to figure it out, and also it could be
me that remember it wrong how it should be assmbled.
 
 
thanks
