Description

The puzzle is to get the T-bar through the cylinder to enable the corkscrew to turn and open your wine.

This is the plain white box used by the manufacturer of the puzzle – Bits and Pieces – with the original paper explaining the puzzle inside.  You can see from the photo the box has been opened and closed a bit. But the puzzle doesn't appear to have been played with. 

There is also a sticker we put on the box with some advice for buyers to avoid spoilers when we sold it on the Mr Puzzle website back in 2006.  

The puzzle was designed by Gary Foshee (sadly passed away July 2025)  The puzzle is made of brushed aluminium.  
Size – corkscrew is 113mm tall.

All prices in Australian Dollars (not US Dollars).  We much prefer payment via Wise because the charges are far less. But we can accept PayPal.

The puzzle will be shipped from Australia by Australia Post.

If we have other items listed and you buy more than one we’re happy to combine ship and quote postage based on weight.

Cost to ship this puzzle Standard:

Australia 10.00

Nova Plexus - Brass Puzzle Sculpture
Nova Plexus is a Puzzle Sculpture that has been over 40 years in the making. This is the standard Brass version of the puzzle. There’s a separate listing for the Steel Limited Edition version.Once it is assembled it is a self-supporting structure made from 12 identical, very precisely made, stainless steel metal rods. And that’s where the challenge happens for you. “Once it is assembled”… the puzzle ships unassembled so there is no chance of learning the puzzle while disassembling a...

Cover Up unusual assembly puzzle by George Sicherman
The Cover Up puzzle is not too hard and very playable. Great fun to try to solve. This puzzle is new and packaged as it was originally sold. The photos are from our website. Since retirement I’ve had some unsold stock of puzzles listed on eBay. I’m listing these items at lower prices than eBay in case you win an auction item and want to take the opportunity to combine ship other items. Original text describing the puzzle from our website is below.  And general information about payment a...

Rialto Bridge IPP43 exchange puzzle
This puzzle fits into a couple of different categories of puzzle. Brian calls it a sequential move puzzle. There are items to find and get out of the puzzle so it could be called a puzzle box in a way.But Brian does not consider it to be a full-blown SD like he’s done in the past.Goal:   What you have around the Rialto Bridge is gondolas and gondoliers, right?So you have to find the gondola and gondolier inside the puzzle. As well as his oar (pole) and the ballast (we jokingly said that was ...

52 pieces of wood in a ring. Impossible object by Mr Puzzle.
As well as a Wotsit? this one's also an Impossible Object. While making the puzzle I also came up with a neat idea to see if I could make a Mobius loop out of the pieces. I did this by adding a few extra pieces to allow the twist. Not sure if this has been done before. To our best knowledge, the original of this puzzle was whittled with a pen knife (this version is individually saw cut and routed, not laser cut) and sold as tramp art in the USA during The Great Depression but it was made in Eur...
