The best Karakuri Idea Contest winners are beautifully crafted puzzle creations that cleverly combine theme and solution. A line of ants is a great example of this. There are numerous ants depicted on the top and side. There is a hole on top reflecting the ants’ nest. There is also a conical shape nearby representing a mound of sugar. The solution ties these together with the puzzle’s theme in a delightful fashion. All original packing material is included.
Karakuri product description:
This work was produced by Karakuri Creation Group’s craftsmen, from a selected idea of “12th Karakuri Box Idea Contest”.
Ants are usually in a line when they look for food, this is the image. A slightly reddish material is used as the ground.
You will find an ant nest, sugar, and ants on the ground. Oh, ants usually line up neatly and orderly, but...?
By the way, I made the shape of the drawer knob a little different. The shape is often likened to ants or butterflies, in woodcraft. I heard it is called “dovetail” in English.
Your challenge: Another ant is hidden. Can you find it?
