Problem of Roger von Oech : Can you assemble the Ball so that NO same-color pieces touch along their sides or at the points ?

Our solution : We consider a star made of 5 pieces.
We take five different colors and we get.

Figure 1

At the opposite side of one piece of the star, we put the same color.

Figure 2

And we get:

Figure 3

Now we create five paths of the type 1 – 4 – 1

We get:

Figure 4

We put now the sixth color.

By this way, we keep the 5-symmetry.

At the end, we complete the structure on the other side with the completed star.

And we get the solution of the “6-Color” Puzzle.
