Sloppy Soma Solution

The original Soma Cube was invented by Piet Hein in 1933.  It consisted of 7 pieces that could be stacked into a cube 240 ways.  Sloppy Soma makes it easier to put the seven pieces into a cube by linking corners of the seven pieces together into sort of a necklace.  This will ensure only one way of making a cube since each piece is connected to two other pieces.  It is called Sloppy Soma since does not keep together too well - always wanting to fall apart into the ring of a necklace.  You should be able to put the cube together by looking at the picture below which shows the solution from the front and the back.
