O. H. Keller conjectured in 1930 that in any tiling of $\Bbb R^n$ by unit $n$-cubes there exist two of them having a complete facet in common. O. Perron proved this conjecture for $n\le 6$. We show that for all $n\ge 10$ there exists a tiling of $\Bbb R^n$ by unit $n$-cubes such that no two $n$-cubes have a complete facet in common.
