Review from puzzling time's blog

"Next up is L-I-Vator II that uses the same shaped box and introduces a different set of six pieces – these pieces only go together to assemble a cube in one way… ! … so while it might be a little harder to find a potential solution outside of the box, you know that’s how it must look inside of the box (allowing for arbitrary orientation of the cube) when you do find an assembly.

That’s got to make it easier than the original, surely?

Actually, no, it doesn’t… :-)

There is a lot of tricksiness involved here too… more tricksiness than the original, IMHO.

At this point I need to interrupt myself and talk a little about Brian’s work on these puzzles – terrific! I’m a sucker for good-looking hardwoods – and the canarywood – particularly the bits with the spalting on them are just lovely… they look the business… and the fit is exactly what you want for a packing puzzle: the solution rattles, but nowhere along the way will you be tempted into doing something that you shouldn’t be allowed to – it’s obvious what you can and can’t do in terms of any tricksiness… :-) Nice work, Brian!

OK, back to the solve – this one took me a while longer than the first one… spread over a couple of evenings – ending with a wonderful moment of triumph at the end of a series of deductions – yes, dear reader – this one rewards Think©ing and deducting."

Rare-Merry Go Round by Jack Krijnen

Jack Krijnen’s highly sought after Merry Go Round puzzle set. One of my favorite N-Ary puzzle because there are so many N-Ary configurations. You can solve this as a nice and relaxing bi-nary puzzle or you can make it more challenging and solve it as a ter-nary or even harder, quarter-nary or above and beyond with the Qui-nary. You can also mix and match and come up with your own N-Ary configuration from easy to challenging. All in all, solving any will bring a big smile to your face and a gre...
