Dr. Volker Latussek wrote about it:

“A few years ago, I wanted to introduce a shape-sorting toy to the puzzle world as a packing problem. The six pieces were to be placed in a certain order in the cube-shaped box. Back then the six pieces had the same square cross-section when viewed from a certain angle. Unfortunately, I have not yet succeeded in formulating a challenging packing problem.

Recently I stumbled across my BASTILLE and decided to reverse the idea of the shape sorting toy. This baby cube (2x2x2) was to be cleverly covered with face-centered openings (1×1) corresponding to the square cross-section of the six pieces. The construction of WHO FILLED THE SORTER CUBE? is once again mathematically pure – I am particularly pleased with that. There are 80,832 possible packings with the pieces sitting in six of the eight corners of the cube. By comparison, BASTILLE has “only” 8,256 symmetry-corrected packings.

Today I am particularly grateful to Pelikan who, on the one hand have made the parts pleasantly chunky and made the square 40 mm x 40 mm cross-section possible, and on the other hand achieved the initial filling I chose. This requires 16 intermediate steps to reach.

If you have followed my path, you will perhaps pass on the sorting cube yourself after 20 steps and thus answer the question WHO FILLED THE SORTER CUBE? with a mischievous smile.”
