So, at one point during the latest MathsJam Annual Gathering the topic of origami Soma cubes popped up. I had folded one using sonobe modules a while ago, but decided to try my hand once more. So, please welcome my new rickety origami companion.
@alisonkiddle, I gather most people talking about origami Soma cubes were inspired by your talk!

John Horton Conway has died.
Sigh.
One of the most unique mathematicians and human beings who ever lived.
Five years ago he was game for this April Fool's prank

August 24 marked the 120th birthday of Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), whose works were often steeped in the flavour of mathematics.

So, I hear some of the hexahedroflexes were less than (com)pliant. It can happen, and in general it takes some persuasion for things to work well. Here is a video showing how to properly flex one. You might also want to pinch each fold a little to make the structure more docile.
The idea is to push all the six tips towards the centre. And to press the "sides" of the HHF back in place, should they "pop out" during the "flexing".
Mancano pochissime ore al #MathsJam di luglio! Venite a trovarci al Valhalla a partire dalle 20.30 per una serata di giochi matematici e possibilmente birre ghiacciate.
E' giunto il giorno fatidico. Ci vediamo questa sera a partire dalle 20.30 al leggendario Valhalla per il nono #MathsJam di #Pavia. Tanti giochetti nuovi in cantiere, courtesy of @BTNMathsJam. Non mancate!
Alcuni momenti dall'VIII MathsJam di ieri sera. 🍻
Some highlights from the eighth MathsJam in Pavia. 🍻
Ci uniamo al dolore dei nostri colleghi toscani per i terribili eventi di ieri. Anche qui a #Pavia, come il resto del mondo, non riuscivamo a credere alle immagini che arrivavano da #Parigi.
Cerchiamo un po' di conforto matematico nei pattern geometrici dell'architettura gotica.
So sad because of #NotreDameDeParis, a masterpiece of maths and art. To design buildings, Gothic architects used a lot of fractal geometry. Have you ever found it in rose windows?

We join our Tuscan friends in their sorrow for yesterday's unbelievable events. Like the rest of the world, here in #Pavia we were shocked at the pictures coming from #Paris.
Let us find some mathematical solace in pervasive geometrical patterns from Gothic architectural lore.

Un'aggiunta allettante al nostro #MathsJam, grazie mille @chalkdustmag!
An alluring addition to our #MathsJam, thank you @chalkdustmag!
