I have decided to offer up this puzzle in an effort to further thin out my personal collection.
This clever packing puzzle was Henry’s IPP 27 Exchange puzzle on the Gold Coast in Australia. Stewart originally named this puzzle EL-Hole and renamed for its subsequent release as an exchange puzzle.
There’s usually a distinction between a packing versus unpacking type puzzles, however this one actually fits into both categories quite nicely. I received it already packed and can certainly attest to its unpacking challenge!
Here’s Stewart’s description:
“Six polycube pieces, five of one kind R and a sixth its mirror image L, are to be assembled inside a slightly oversized 2x3x4 box with L-shaped opening in the top, presumably one way and in one order only, which is quite tricky and involves rotation.”
Shipping cost to be determined at close of auction.
