|This is a 4-space cube or Tesseract. N-space cubes contain all sorts of interesting puzzles and symmetries.||A fifth grade student can draw a 5-space cube once they are shown how. And with a bit of high-school binary math you can create N-cubes of any dimension.|
If your browser is set to see animated pictures the colored lines will
