Description
This is the same as the other Flying Hex puzzle I'm selling, but with a different color scheme.


Flying Hex puzzle, designed by Tom Jolly, laser cut by Walt Hoppe, computer analysis by Robert Henderson. The object is to move the pieces, one at a time, rotating as needed, into any vacant holes, such that all the pieces on the left end up on the right and vice-versa. That is, the pieces swap sides. The "easy" initial configuration requires a minimum of 63 moves, and the "hard" configuration, discovered by Robert Henderson, takes 89 moves. It's a tricky puzzle, and you'll be wondering how to move that big 4-unit piece through that narrow gap with all those other dang pieces in the way.


Buyer pays for actual postage. Postage will be calculated after auction. Puzzle with packaging is 5 ounces, and measures about 3"x5".

Fireplug variant- Marcel Gillen

Fireplug variant- Marcel Gillen
Fireplug variant, designed by Marcel Gillen, mfg by Bits & Pieces #07-7389, sold in their catalog as "Play With Fire". I bought this copy directly from Marcel back in 2010. He pointed out to me that the B&P version had a defect in it that allowed it to permanently bind up inside, becoming unsolvable. He bought a bunch of the Fireplugs from B&P and fixed the problem inside the puzzle, which is why I refer to it as a "variant". I did solve it, but that was 15 years ago. It could use a good polishi...
