On a side note I have a feeling the person who designed this would be an expert at torture.

Zof, I want to know where you buy puzzles, I recall a fun 6 sided puzzle... with 54 colored squares... but the almighty eight sided puzzle has eluded me all these years..

I suggest you leave the corners and center of each side black to make it harder to solve.

This has so many practical uses, like a butt-plug, a medium-light throwing missile, a paperweight, a dog's toy, a fake eye for giant squid and even as an effective stroke inducing 'stubborn nerd' killer. Alas, it will most likely remain forever a humble impossibly difficult puzzle for one man and a talking point for the millions who stumbled upon this like myself. how boring.
