Description
Soma in Farmacia – Expert Packing Puzzle
Soma in Farmacia is a demanding packing puzzle designed by Dr. Volker Latussek, with CAD design by Oskar van Deventer, and produced by Team JB Hobbies. Based on the classic Soma puzzle concept, this design adds a serious constraint: seven hollow Soma pieces must be packed into a cage with four inward-facing pins.
The objective is to fit all seven pieces into the cage and then successfully disassemble the puzzle. While there are 11,520 possible packings, only one arrangement allows the required disassembly sequence. That makes this more than a simple packing challenge; it is a test of logic, planning, and careful execution.
The hollow pieces and internal pins create a highly constrained solving environment. Each placement matters, and the final assembly must not only fit, but also work mechanically within the limits of the cage.
- Designer: Dr. Volker Latussek
- CAD Design: Oskar van Deventer
- Producer: Team JB Hobbies

- Puzzle Type: Packing Puzzle
- Dimensions: 66 mm × 66 mm × 66 mm (approximately 2.6 in × 2.6 in × 2.6 in)
- Material: 3D printed plastic
- Pieces: 7 hollow Soma pieces
- Hollow Soma Pieces: Classic Soma-style geometry with an added internal constraint.
- Internal Pin System: Four inward-facing pins dramatically limit valid arrangements.
- Disassembly Requirement: The correct solution must be able to come apart, not merely fit inside.
- Expert-Level Constraint: Only one of 11,520 possible packings satisfies the full challenge.
Why You'll Enjoy It:
Soma in Farmacia is built for experienced puzzlers who enjoy deep packing challenges with strict mechanical constraints. It takes the familiar Soma concept and turns it into a far more demanding puzzle where fitting the pieces is only part of the problem. For fans of Dr. Volker Latussek’s precise and unforgiving packing designs, this is a serious challenge worth taking on.
