May 9, 2022 at 9:46 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @JeppeStigNielsen: See Number of hypercube unfoldings.
May 9, 2022 at 7:27 comment added Jeppe Stig Nielsen Oh, so we have a sequence 1, 11, 261, ...
Jul 15, 2019 at 1:57 comment added Glen Whitney Re the number of free octacubes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycube says it is 3811. So really it is quite unlikely for an octacube to be a net of a hypercube.
May 23, 2018 at 18:44 comment added Menachem I notice that of the 11 unfoldings of the cube, 2 have mirror symmetries and the other 9 do not. If we count the "chiral" pairs separately, then we have a total of 20 unfoldings. From the beautiful figures in two of the answers, it is difficult for me to tell how many of the 261 unfoldings of the 4D hypercube have mirror symmetries. Does someone know?

Mar 1, 2015 at 14:36 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @ManfredWeis: That is a legitimate question, but I would prefer not to answer it.
Mar 1, 2015 at 12:33 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @TheMaskedAvenger: Oh, I see. There are 369 planar "free" octominoes. Haven't yet found a count in 3D.
Mar 1, 2015 at 6:48 comment added The Masked Avenger octominoes are like pentominoes, but composed of 8 squares instead of five. I'm suggesting that connected arrangements of 8 cubes are not much more numerous than unfoldings of a tesseract. But I don't know.

Mar 1, 2015 at 4:14 comment added Manfred Weis @Joseph: what would be the benefit of having such models? Along with additional information, like the properties of the cube's face-adjacency graph or usability in architecture, a complete set of such 3D unfoldings could however be of broader interest.

Mar 1, 2015 at 1:05 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @TheMaskedAvenger: I don't understand the phrase "the (polycube version of the) octomino count."
Mar 1, 2015 at 1:03 comment added The Masked Avenger How does this compare with the (polycube version of the) octomino count? It might be easier to list those which are not unfoldings of the tesseract.
Mar 1, 2015 at 0:54 comment added Joseph O'Rourke An unusual question in that I am kinda hoping no one answers.
