Joe Turner is synonymous with his popular "Free Me" puzzles, for which the object of all is to free the trapped coin, typically a Kennedy half dollar. Interestingly, "Free Me 7" was actually released after Free Me 8, because Joe decided that he needed better tolerances for the parts of Free Me 7, and in order to achieve them, he encountered safety concerns with his router tool. Thus, Free Me 7 is the product of careful consideration on several fronts!
One of my favorite aspects of Free Me 7, in addition to its simplistic beauty, is the cleverness of the interaction between "internal" mechanisms (one's whose operation are not directly observable) and "external" mechanisms (one's whose operations may be directly observable). I find the solution to Free Me 7 to be EXTREMELY challenging.
Free Me 7 comes complete with its solution, in the exact packaging that the puzzle came in from Joe in July 2021.
I can ship within the US as a ground advantage (first class) package for
between $8.00 and $9.00 (depending on postal code), or at insured
priority mail pricing for between $9.25 and $13.45 (depending on postal
code) if preferred. I am happy to ship
internationally at cost (typically between $20 and $30, depending on
country), but I cannot always guarantee that overseas
packages can be insured. Please do not send payment until postage cost
is determined.
