Description

An Exchange gift at Gathering for Gardner 8 (G4G8) in 2008.  

Made by microxylometagrobolist Allan Boardman.  It's tiny!  The box holding the parts is 2.0" x 2.0" x 0.75".

Goals:
Use all seven pieces to make the letter L Use all seven pieces to make the letter T The real challenge is to use all seven pieces to make the letters L and T at the same time. Note: the dimensions of the vertical and horizontal strokes in the letters L and T are in all cases exactly equal and symmetrical.

An added challenge may then be to get the puzzle back into the tray.
