Description

A 3D printable and paper printable version of the Quark puzzle published by Eric Gettrust in "The Physics Teacher" in 2010, DOI: 10.1119/1.3393062

This is a resource that teachers can use to help students visualise the colour symmetries of quarks.

Note: stripes have been included to make the anti-particles more easily identifiable. 

Notes

A 3D version of the puzzle is available at: 10.5281/zenodo.1252868
