Description

205 Minutes is an amazing n-ary puzzle that has it's name due to the fact that it takes over 12,000 moves to completely disassemble and if you make a move per second, it will take 205 minutes from start to finish before you are done. What a monster of a puzzle!

Unfortunately this is not the wooden version made by CD, but a print that Aleksandr Leontev made for himself. The print is very high quality, it has a nice weight to it implying that a very high infill percentage was used in this print, weighs 6.5 ounces and measures 2.5" for all 3 sides.

It works well as a puzzle that you can carry around with you everywhere since it fits nicely into the packets of a jacket and is clearly durable enough to handle rough usage. Compared to the fact that one wouldn't want to casually carry around the CD version out of a fear of damaging it, this is a clear benefit of owning the printed version of the puzzle.

It also comes with a piece shown in the picture where it can be switched out with another piece for a shorter solve sequence that is "only" about 10,000 moves long. I also have a BT file that I can provide which shows the solve sequence for both problems. But there is the obvious issue of moving the animation slider to watch 1 or 2 moves in a sequence that is 10 to 12 thousand moves long. So I don't consider the BT file to be too helpful.

Sadly, this print does not have the ingenious "quick-reset" mechanism that the wooden CD version has. So if you wish to reset the puzzle after solving it, you will need to reverse the entire solve sequence all over again. 410 minutes of fun guaranteed!

I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).
Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.
I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Inelegant So-Ma by Haym Hirsh

The Inelegant series of puzzles is a fairly unusual assembly or packing puzzle. The goal is to simply assemble the pieces into a cube. But each puzzle in the series delights in messing with the underlying design of the pieces. They started with the Inelegant Soma where the pieces were based on the Soma Cube design, but the voxels were stretched from being cubes into rectangular voxels that got glued into the Soma pieces we know and love. However this "distortion" results in forming a cube that a...

SDBB-3D by Juno and Plumbus Puzzles

SDBB is a fantastic start to Juno's "disguised as a burr" puzzle box series. It really likes to pretend to be a burr, but the solve involves anything but solving an actual burr-style puzzle. Good luck puzzling everything out!I was ecstatic and grateful to get a copy in my hands after solving SDBBB and SDBBM. It was fun to finally complete the set and the solve was pretty enjoyable even if it was a short solve. It ended up not being a keeper because it's too easy for my tastes. So I'm letting it ...

Neighburr by Christoph Lohe

Neighburr is one heck of a caged burr. The pieces are nicely chunky with a pleasing heft to them, the woods are gorgeous, and the burr puzzle design is really fun! Too often the burr design gets fairly unstable and a pain to properly hold the pieces in place to finish taking them apart or to reassemble. But Neighburr stays fairly stable for most of the solve and loves to mess with you by letting you move the burr sticks really far in one direction or another without letting go. It's a mean one!N...
